The Unborn, Abortion, Voting, Fatima # 12 of 12
Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2007

This is the final transcript # 12 of a talk from a tape by Fr. Gregory Staab, O.M.V. given at St. Peter Chanel Catholic Church in Hawaiian Gardens, Ca. on Oct. 12th, 2002, with the Immaculate Heart of Mary Spiritual Retreat, My Love Will Triumph, Tape M 1273, What Happened at Fatima, available at St. Joseph Radio, in the City of Orange. (714) 744-0336, 800-500-4556.

“We have the duty to respect the right to life and rights of every human being from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. And this is an important issue for God when we vote. God is there in the voting booth and that’s the moral action when you go into the reality of the voting booth. Are we an only issue people? Do we have just one issue? Is this the only issue we have? No, but this is a disqualifying issue! If somebody says that it should be legal to kill a human being, that person is automatically disqualified! He does not even exist for us on the ballot. That’s not the only issue.

“We have many other issues that we look at in the reality of when it comes to an election. But that is a disqualifying issue. Do I hear an Amen! Disqualifying Issue! The American Bishops speak of this whole reality like a house. There are many aspects to the house. You have the walls and you got the ceilings and you’ve got furniture inside. Then you have the foundation for the house. The very foundation of the things we should be looking for is the right to life itself! Everything else deals with quality of human life, education, employment and health care. These deal with quality of human life. This is the right to life itself. That’s the foundation upon which everything else is built. And if the foundation isn’t there, everything collapses and everything falls apart.

“What would happen if everybody would vote for people who are pro-life? The laws would eventually change in our country. And with that, our eyes would be opened in many other ways in helping other people. We’d see how we could help other people in many, many other ways and we’d have the genius, and we would have the help of all kinds of human beings. {Those) as well who are being snuffed out to give us that light and that wisdom that we need from God to be able to help the problems of our society.

“Any right to kill the innocent undermines every other right of the human person. Ultimately, what we are involved with is a spiritual battle. If murder is present we know it well, that the Devil who is called a murderer from the beginning is involved. And so the very heart and the very soul of the pro-life movement is the reality of prayer and fasting.

“And that is the message of Our Lady of Fatima. The Angel of Fatima told the children to be making many little sacrifices, sacrifice themselves in any way that they could for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for the sins by which God himself is offended. And she said in this way, you will bring peace to your country. The Angel of Fatima said that. Our Lady of Fatima said pray the Rosary every day for peace in the world, and as long as abortion exists we know that there is not peace in the world. So a very important part of our intention when you pray the Rosary is for an end to abortion, is for a change in mentality in our country so people can come to see more clearly what is really taking place.

“Something that has just begun in our parish here is we have a Holy Hour every week just for that intention. It’s every Wednesday night from 8:15 to 9:15 P.M. here before the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with the Rosary and other prayers begging Our Lord to remove the scales from people’s eyes so that we see more clearly the value of human life and that life be respected from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. Let’s say a final Hail Mary asking Our Lady to touch our hearts.

“Something, too that we want to pray for, we want to pray not only for an end to abortion, but it is very important as well that we pray for all the people who have had abortions. So that they can recognize that they can be forgiven. They can receive the mercy of God. They can be healed. Hail Mary {is prayed}. Blessed Gianna Beretta Molla! Pray for Us.”
