St. Faustina - A Burning Desire to Save Souls

Meditation:

The Lord said to me, The loss of each soul plunges Me into mortal sadness. You always console Me when you pray for sinners. The prayer most pleasing to Me is prayer for the conversion of sinners. Know, My daughter, that this prayer is always heard and answered (Diary, 1397).
March 25, 1938. Today, I saw the suffering Lord Jesus. He leaned down toward me and whispered softly, My daughter, help Me to save sinners. Suddenly, a burning desire to save souls entered my soul. When I recovered my senses, I knew just how I was to help souls, and I prepared myself for greater sufferings (Diary, 1645).


My Prayer Response:

Lord Jesus, I want to respond to Your “mortal sadness” caused by the loss of each soul. Give me a “burning desire to save souls” like that of St. Faustina. Give me the graces to even suffer for the conversion of sinners.

What will Donald Trump do?

A brand new year. I wonder what things will happen this year. President Obama is almost gone. President elect Trump will become president this Friday. I know a lot of people are worried about Trump but I'm rather looking forward to it. A huge change for the US and for the world.

Obama didn't help Syria, with his red line pretense and the Assad chemical weapons fiasco. Obama made nice feel good speeches but  he wasn't a good leader. We'll see what Trump does, but I don't think he can do any worse than Obama.

And read this horrible update about Planned Parenthood and their selling of baby parts. It just gets worse and worse:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/01/15/mcaleer-planned-parenthood-investigation-finds-horrifying-criminal-practices/

"There have been two recent congressional investigations into the Planned Parenthood selling baby parts scandal.


Both were prompted by the Centre For Medical Progress (CMP) undercover investigation, which caught Planned Parenthood officials discussing how to illegally profit from selling baby parts. The first report in December was by the Senate Judiciary Committee and now House of Representatives Select Investigative Panel has published its report. Neither investigation relied on the CMP undercover videos to come to their conclusions.They carried out their own investigations — interviewing officials and employees under oath and using the power of subpoena to get their records."
And this:
"The Senate investigation published invoices which showed in June 2014 ABR bought a fetus from Planned Parenthood for $60. From that one fetus ABR “sold its brain to one customer for $325; both of its eyes for $325 each ($650 total) to a second customer, a portion of its liver for $325 to a third customer; its thymus for $325 and another portion of liver to a fourth customer; and its lung for $325 to a fifth customer.”"
I remember when this story broke and abortion advocates poo pooed the whole thing. 
I hope Donald Trump defunds abortion. That would be such a blessing. At least for the Americans. I wish we could defund abortion here in Canada too.
