Rank and file Democrats bristled at having God rammed back into their party platform by the president.

Here’s the question: how did they feel about the closing benediction by Cardinal Timothy Dolan?

This, the most prominent Catholic in America, harkened God powerfully:

“Let us Pray.

Almighty God, father of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, revealed to us so powerfully in your Son, Jesus Christ, we thank you for showering your blessings upon this our beloved nation. Bless all here present, and all across this great land, who work hard for the day when a greater portion of your justice, and a more ample measure of your care for the poor and suffering, may prevail in these United States. Help us to see that a society’s greatness is found above all in the respect it shows for the weakest and neediest among us.”

Sounds pretty good so far, but…

A very good Family friend has asked for continued Prayer for the “Darkhorse” 3rd battalion 5th Marines and their families

Here is the request:

Prayer  Needed/WANTED

We are asking everyone to say a prayer for “Darkhorse” 3rd Battalion

5th Marines and their families. They are fighting it out in

Afghanistan & they have lost 12 marines in 4 days.

IT WOULD BE NICE  TO SEE the message spread if more people could pass

it on. Nothing has been in the media about these guys because no one

seems to care.

They are: Justin Allen, 23; Brett Linley, 29; Matthew Weikert, 29;

Justus Bartett, 27; Dave Santos, 21; Chase Stanley, 21; Jesse Reed,

26; Matthew Johnson, 21; Zachary Fisher, 24; Brandon King, 23;

Christopher Goeke, 23; Sheldon Tate, 27.

All are Marines that gave their lives for  YOU this week.

Please Honor THEM

Thank       you.
