Support for the Pope

Keep the Faith, Holy Father. God bless you and keep you holy.
—Guest Joann Lee

Our Dear Pope Benedict XVI

I have been awaiting Vol. II of Jesus of Nazareth and have read many of your other books. We all thank you for what you give us and want you to know we support your teaching and have confidence in your handling of difficult and serious matters, including eradicating sexual and physical abuse by a number of people in the Church. Our constant prayers go out to you, and we ask God's special grace of wisdom and discernment; we ask the Holy Spirit to guide you most urgently in the use of the Keys. We pray for all victims of abuse and thank God for this being a subject that has long been put up with, denied and hidden within families and most all institutions. It is a problem of the world for ages. I have confidence that God has given this exposure within your office because you are best able to guide the Church and the world in changing. Silence too long by everyone which makes us all part of the guilty.

As Jesus was tempted by Satan in the Garden of Gethsemane, you have brought us nearer to eliminating Satan's ever-persistent threat. We love you and pray for you daily.

It is not the first time of such an attack on the Pope and the Church. But know, that he is the ROCK upon which the Church is built, solid and steadfast. My support and prayer for the Holy Father. The Pope will be victorious.
—Guest John

Fabulous Reminder

I have foolishly neglected to pray for our Pope! He, more than anyone, is probably most under attack from satanic forces. Please, Lord, let him know the love and admiration of his congregation around the world.

This is a trying time for all of us, and we need to remember that Catholicism is not the problem, it is the solution. I pray that the Holy Father receives the grace to lead us out of this crisis to a much stronger Church.

Pope Benedict XVI

I am confident the Holy Spirit will sustain Pope Benedict XVI and guide his words and deeds through what will undoubtedly become a sustained and escalating period of persecution of our Faith and our Pope. Now is the time for all Catholics to truly practice their Faith, everyday. We have a mission of witness. Every Catholic is under scrutiny. We must live our lives for Christ, with boldness. Let not your heart be troubled.
—Guest Angela Stallings
