At this dark time in a world that has gone upside down when we need each other the most, we are sometimes falling out of touch with each other.
Some people are falling off the radar laid low by depression; others because they are busy just trying to survive.
But so-called ‘Survival of the Fittest’ is not likely to make it if we give up on the morale-boosting support of dear and trusted friends.
In these days when governments work overtime to frighten and curtail us, it’s more important than ever to remain close to friends, both near and afar.
In steadfast defiance against evil doers, we should be working WITH each other, never AGAINST each other.
The most important Friend with whom we should primarily stay in Touch is our Creator God Almighty, Who more than welcomes personal communication with all of those He created.
A few of my own friends have left off staying in touch; friends who likely do not even realize that, in effect they are leaving those they abandon to go it alone.
In times such as these, I take heart in finding stories on the ‘Net about the ‘Warriors for Mary’ in Poland and the massive Rosaries being prayed in Ireland and elsewhere.
A few days ago, in Łomża, Poland the members of Warriors of Mary's Movement singing Bogurodzica.
“The undying Catholic faith of Poland. “This is what we should spread across Europe and America
My own daily morning prayer while watching the sycamore tree from my front window is: “Prayers, Eternal Father for all of those tossed up in the confusion of our times, leaning towards fear, anxiety worry—and slowly drifting towards negative depression and even despair. Bring them back to prayer, Eternal Father so that, in effect, they will join Your only Begotten Son, whose eternal mission is to bring as many souls as possible to Heaven.”

There is comfort, too in knowing that my Mother told me with an ache of longing in her voice when I was still a child that, “the family that prays together, stays together.”
It was that memory that saw Brian and I dispatched to find the grave site of Rosary Priest Fr. Patrick Peyton, in North Easton, Massachusetts, arriving during a snow and ice storm on early Christmas Eve morning in 2008, one month after Barack Obama was first elected U.S. President.

Happiness on Earth, which in reality is the Valley of Tears, is and always will be as fleeting as the bubbling effervescence on a freshly poured soft drink.
True Happiness is someday making it to Heaven.
World governments and the present-day Internet seem to go out of their way to frighten and depress us.
Remember when coming across their latest “news” on the Internet that even the so-called ‘good guys’ are doing it for publicity; to keep their names by whatever means possible, before voters.
Driven by their own egos, they seem to remain unaware that True Earthly Happiness only comes from helping others.
Banish World Economic Forum (WEF) leader Klaus Schwab, his deranged sidekick Yuval Noah Harari and all other WEFers from your thoughts. Their latest scam is that AI will establish “correct” religions and rewrite the Bible. Remember that a frightened, living-on-edge masses are their ONLY oxygen. It was never inevitable that “you will own nothing and be happy” because all things in this world are passing—including them. (All Israel News, Sept. 13, 2023)
We should join our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Who when down with us in the Valley of Tears left all those who squabble squabbling on the sidelines.
Like our Lord and Savior, we should NEVER give up, no matter how hard, trying and dark the times.
For all of those falling off on the wayside, stay in touch through thick and thin with friends and neighbors. Share with them, even though it may be only a kind word, a cup of coffee, or a smile.
Keep in mind that in an upside down world when the latest corruption of politicians and what Klaus Schwab’s threats are served up to the masses in the latest “News”, scattered between photos of the latest celebrity in bikinis, that all of them live in the same world as we do—a world where EVERYTHING is passing.
Talk to God, talk to your friends—NEVER COMPLY.
