President
Lincoln: the duty of nations to God...
"O My children, how happy were the days when I could look down from Heaven upon you and find that America was so beautiful—a Christian nation, devout, pious, and following the road as given by the Eternal Father, through My Son and the Holy Spirit of light. And now the light has been darkened." - Our Lady, December 24, 1979
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, led our nation through the Civil War. On March 30, 1863 President Lincoln, in his Proclamation for a Day of Prayer and Fasting, called the nation to find spiritual strength through prayer:
Whereas, it is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence
upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in
humble sorrow yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy
and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures
and proven by all history: that those nations only are blessed whose God is the
Lord:
And, insomuch as we know that, by His divine law, nations like individuals are
subjected to punishments and chastisement in this world, may we not justly fear
that the awful calamity of civil war, which now desolates the land may be but a
punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins to the needful end of our
national reformation as a whole people?
We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been
preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers,
wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown.
But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved
us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly
imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were
produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel
the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God
that made us!
It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess
our national sins and to pray for clemency and forgiveness... All this being
done, in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope authorized by
the Divine teachings, that the united cry of the nation will be heard on high
and answered with blessing no less than the pardon of our national sins and the
restoration of our now divided and suffering country to its former happy
condition of unity and peace.
Contact your Congressman and Senator and tell them to restore the United States to one nation under God.
