Deepertruth: The Seven Woes Of Jesus, pray for America!

Almighty Father, I place the Precious Blood of Jesus before my lips before I pray, that my prayers may be purified before they ascend to Your divine altar.

Glory be to the Father, Who by His almighty power and love created me, making me in the image and likeness of God.

Glory be to the Son, Who by His Precious Blood delivered me from hell, and opened for me the gates of heaven.

Glory be to the Holy Spirit, Who has sanctified me in the sacrament of Baptism, and continues to sanctify me by the graces I receive daily from His bounty.

Glory be to the Three adorable Persons of the Holy Trinity, now and forever. Amen.

O Blessed Mother Assumed into Heaven, after years of heroic martyrdom on earth, we rejoice that you have at last been taken to the throne prepared for you in Heaven by the Holy Trinity.

The Seven Woes Of Jesus, pray for America!  Matthew 23 is perhaps one of the most famous chapters in the Bible where Jesus gives the seven woes to the scribes and Pharisees.

A “woe” is a “condition of deep suffering from misfortune, affliction, or grief”.  Because of the disobedience of the Jewish people and the religious leaders Jesus lowers the boom against them.  Consider Leviticus 26, we see a clear warning God gives the Israelite’s. The Lord says, “I will punish you with terrible woes” for refusing to obey His Commandments and breaking the Covenant.Matthew laments as he quotes Jesus saying, “Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days.”(Matthew 24:19)

The Siege of Jerusalem was total devastation and the destruction was brutal. More than a million people were killed. Many crucified.
