Reacting to Gen Z Communists and Socialists on TikTok

Is history not taught to our children anymore?  It certainly looks like it! ðŸ˜ž

It wouldn't surprise me because sadly I know that many of our kids can't write or spell or do basic math when they graduate from high school so it wouldn't be a stretch that they aren't aware of the horror of the Communist regime which included the torturing imprisoning murdering about 80,000,000 men, women, and children. They should all be required to read real accounts of human suffering like what Fr. Walter Sizek faced when he was captured by the Communists ( prologue below )

from He Leadeth Me by FR. Walter Ciszek S.J.
A deeply personal story of one man’s spiritual odyssey and the unflagging faith which enabled him to survive the ordeal that wrenched his body and spirit to near collapse.

Captured by a Russian army during World War II and convicted of being a "Vatican spy," Jesuit Father Walter J. Ciszek spent 23 agonizing years in Soviet prisons and the labor camps of Siberia. Only through an utter reliance on God's will did he manage to endure the extreme hardship. He tells of the courage he found in prayer--courage that eased the loneliness, the pain, the frustration, the anguish, the fears, the despair. For, as Ciszek relates, the solace of spiritual contemplation gave him an inner serenity upon which he was able to draw amidst the "arrogance of evil" that surrounded him. Ciszek learns to accept the inhuman work in the infamous Siberian salt mines as labor pleasing to God. And through that experience, he was able to turn the adverse forces of circumstance into a source of positive value and a means of drawing closer to the compassionate and never-forsaking Divine Spirit.

He Leadeth Me is a book to inspire all Christians to greater faith and trust in God--even in their darkest hour. As the author asks, "What can ultimately trouble the soul that accepts every moment of every day as a gift from the hands of God and strives always to do his will?"
