The Federal Conservative Party has ousted yet another Leadership Candidate,
and it appears to be because of his Social Conservative views.
I'm starting to think that the Federal PCs are just as corrupt as the Liberals.
Sounds like it is a few self-appointed red Tories that control the Party.

March 24, 2020 - Urgently Needed - Prayer and Repentance
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 New International Version

Evangelical Fellowship of Canada calls for a Global Day of Prayer and fasting
My hope is that all our political leaders, would start to recognize that we are nothing without God. I feel a sense of urgency about this. Prayer and repentance is so very important right now and fasting if you are able. Here in Canada, we have all but abandoned God. We need only think of the attacks on human life, young and old alike. Now is the time: now the hour to turn to Him in prayer and beg Him for His mercy.

Message on the Combat against the Coronavirus, COVID-19ON MAR 21, 2020 by Cardinal Burke
"In the same light, a person of faith cannot consider the present calamity in which we find ourselves without considering also how distant our popular culture is from God. It is not only indifferent to His presence in our midst but openly rebellious toward Him and the good order with which He has created us and sustains us in being.
We need only think of the commonplace violent attacks on human life, male and female, which God has made in His own image and likeness (Gn 1, 27), attacks on the innocent and defenseless unborn, and on those who have the first title to our care, those who are heavily burdened with serious illness, advanced years, or special needs. We are daily witnesses to the spread of violence in a culture which fails to respect human life.
Likewise, we need only to think of the pervasive attack upon the integrity of human sexuality, of our identity as man or woman, with the pretense of defining for ourselves, often employing violent means, a sexual identity other than that given to us by God. With ever greater concern, we witness the devastating effect on individuals and families of the so-called “gender theory.”"

Only In God - based on Psalm 62
Antiphon
Only is God will my soul be at rest
From Him comes my hope, my salvation.
He alone is my rock of safety,
my strength, my Glory my God.
1...Trust in Him at all times O people and pour out your heart.
God Himself is a refuge for us and a stronghold for our fear.
2...Many times have I heard Him tell of His long lasting love.
You, Yourself, Lord reward all who labor for love of Your Name.
