Stand In The Gap

I found no one." 
Ex 22:30

Corporate repentance, identificational repentance, associating and identifying yourself with the sins of the nation and the Church, is a foreign notion to
most Catholics. However it is a very strong biblical theme.

"If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven,
forgive their sins and heal their land."2 Chron 7:14

Daniel, a righteous man "stood in the gap" and interceded for his people. Nine times in Daniel chapter 9, Daniel prayed: WE have sinned, WE are rebellious, WE are shamefaced etc. Moses in Ex 32:32 prayed: "If you would only forgive their sin! If you will not then strike me out of the book that you have written."How’s that for standing in the gap! Paul prayed in Romans 9: "For I could wish that
I myself were accursed and separated from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen, the Israelites." Paul, Daniel and Moses associated themselves with
the sins of their people and "stood in the gap" between God’s fiery wrath and their people.

Our condition in our Church and our country is so far gone, thatonly heartfelt, deep, corporate Church repentance could mediate to some degree our impending
punishment. Joel chapter 2 is our only hope:

"Blow the trumpet in Zion! proclaim a fast, call an assembly;Gather the people, notify the congregation; Assemble the elders, gather the children and the infants at the breast; Let the bridegroom quit his room, and the bride her chamber.Between
the porch and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep, And say, "Spare, O LORD, your people, and make not your heritage a reproach, with
the nations ruling over them! Why should they say among the peoples, ’Where is their God?’"Then the LORD was stirred to concern for his land and took pity
on his people."

One ray of hope on the horizon is Bishop William K Weigand of the Sacramento diocese in California. He told the Catholic Governor of California, Gray Davis, to change his position on abortion or don’t bother coming down the aisle to receive Holy Communion. God bless Bishop Weigand! It took 30 years and 40+
million babies to die before a Catholic Bishop had the guts to say ENOUGH, to these infanticide supporting Catholic politicians. It is utterly pathetic and depressing to consider that fact.

Why are these modern day King Herods, these pro-death Catholic politicians allowed to receive Holy Communion to this very day. Modern day King Herods like the Kennedys and the Kerrys, the Daschles and the Dodds, the Bidens, the Leahys, the Patakis, and the McGreeveys. How can they receive Holy Communion
with bloody hands! How can our Bishops allow that!

Let us pray For Bishop Weigand. Let’s pray that God will give us many more like him. Let us write him letters of encouragement!

The blood of those butchered babies is crying out to God for justice.

"How long will it be, O Master, holy and true before you judge our cause and avenge our blood among the inhabitants of the earth."  Rev 6:10

God is saying to those butchered babies, I’ve heard you cry and the time of your waiting for justice is over!

God is saying to us: ENOUGH!

"As I live says the Lord God, you have been guilty of blood, and blood, I swear, shall pursue you."  Ez 35:6

Let us fall on our faces in
