Urgent Message:

To all the Catholic Fathers:
Because of the current crisis between the U.S. and Russia over the Ukraine situation, it is highly recommended that you lead your congregations Sunday, before or after every Mass, in prayer for a peaceful and just solution to this crisis. This is a serious and bleak situation. If Russia moves into the Ukraine all the democracy countries will join up with the United States in economic sanctions towards Russia, then Russia will most likely retaliate, up to, putting missals in other countries close to the United States, like Venezuela, Cuba and the like. Not to mention an economic disaster around the world.
This is outside of the plagues and wrath that is coming from the book of the Apocalypse. We should try to keep Satan from adding salt to our wounds whenever possible.
I pray that you see the seriousness of this situation and follow through for the sake of Charity and good will for our people.
Grace be with you, in Christ, Joseph B. D. Saraceno
