THERE<\/strong> is so much war. War between nations, war between neighbours, war between friends, war between families, war between spouses. I am sure every one of you is a casualty in some way of what has taken place over the past two years. The divisions I see between people are bitter and deep. Perhaps at no other time in human history do the words of Jesus apply so readily and on such a massive scale:<\/p>\n Many false prophets will arise and deceive many; and because of the increase of evildoing, the love of many will grow cold. (Matt 24:11-12)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n What would Pope Pius XI say now?<\/p>\n And thus, even against our will, the thought rises in the mind that now those days draw near of which Our Lord prophesied: \u201cAnd because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold\u201d (Matt. 24:12).<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014POPE PIUS XI,\u00a0Miserentissimus Redemptor<\/em><\/a>, Encyclical on Reparation to the Sacred Heart, n. 17, May 8th, 1928<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n For me, there is nothing more painful than the wound of injustice \u2014 words, actions and accusations that are false. When we or others we respect are falsely maligned, the injustice can burn away at one’s thoughts and peace. Today, the injustice toward so many doctors, nurses, scientists, and yes, truckers, is painful to witness and almost impossible to stop in the face of this global juggernaut.<\/p>\n Jesus seems to imply that part of the reason for the love of many growing cold is the emergence of “many false prophets.” Indeed, Jesus said Satan is “a liar and the father of lies.”[1]<\/sup><\/a>John 8:44<\/span><\/span>\n
