Battle Hymn for the Unborn by Lawrence D. Behr

My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord

He is bringing peace and justice to the nations of the world

Let the unborn leap for joy as St. John did at Mary's word!

Our Lord is marching on!

               Glory, glory, hallelujah!  Glory, glory, hallelujah!

               Glory, glory, hallelujah!  Our Lord is marching on.

 He is the Sun of Justice, Son Of God and Son of Man.

He is Wonderful and Couns'lor, Prince of Peace, the great I AM.

O how blest are those invited to the Supper of the Lamb!

His victory marches on!

               Glory, glory, etc

He will separate the sheep from goats for all eternity

He will vindicate His righteous words for all on earth to see;

"What you did to the least of My brethren, that you did to Me."

His justice marches on.

               Glory, glory, etc.

And you who've held His banner high through the long and fearsome night

He will welcome you with outstretched arms and seat you on His right:

"You were faithful in a small thing, you will rule now by My might!"

His love is marching on!

               Glory, glory, etc.

He became a helpless baby to be born in Bethlehem

All babies have the right to live and give glory unto Him

We will fight to protect the unborn, and never for'get them!

Our God is marching on!

               Glory, glory, hallelujah!, etc.

Cardinal Burke: Be agents of Mary's Immaculate Heart to combat 'diabolical forces' (lifesitenews.com) October 17, 2017

Cardinal Raymond Burke has summoned the faithful to become "agents" of the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in order to combat the "diabolical forces" that have been "unleashed upon the world" and are "entering into the very life of the Church."

Speaking at the 2017 Fatima Centennial Summit held at Buckfast Abbey, on October 12-13, exactly one century after the Miracle of the Sun, Cardinal Burke said these diabolical forces are working to draw souls away from the faith into a widespread apostasy. Such forces have entered even into the ranks of the priesthood, he said, leading some pastors to offer "poisonous fruits" to "the very souls for whom they have been consecrated to care spiritually."

"How easily today the unthinking member of the faithful can be deceived and beguiled by appearances, attractive gestures and flashy slogans, under which the substance is poison for his soul," the cardinal said....

"We have the assurance of Our Lady that her Immaculate Heart will triumph, that the truth and love of her Divine Son will triumph," the cardinal said. "We are called to be agents of her triumph by our obedience to her maternal counsel."
