A Great Day for Humanity
On May 1, the world learned that Osama Bin Laden is dead - killed by U.S. ground troops with the cooperation of officials in the country where he had found shelter, Pakistan.
It was a day of divine justice. Bin Laden, who presided over the killings of thousands of innocents has met his end. This same day (the first Sunday after Easter) is known to Catholics as Divine Mercy Sunday. What was the divine mercy shown this day? I do not believe that it was for the soul of Bin Laden, who never showed any signs of repentance (although I have prayed for his conversion). Rather, the mercy was on the thousands who have mourned the deaths of loved ones and who wanted and needed a sign that there is justice on this earth.
The beatification of Pope John Paul II on this same day seems more than coincidental. It seems that the heavens opened to show the glory of God, His mercy, and His righteousness.
In Ezekiel Chapter 7, Scripture says, "Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send my anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations. Any mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee and ye shall now that I am the Lord.
...An end is come, and end is come: it watcheth for the; behold it is come."
Yes, the end has come to the evil Osama Bin Laden. Hallelujah. God bless our President, God bless President George W. Bush, God bless our troops, and God bless America.
