Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty,… Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” Romans 12:15-19

Do not confuse religion and politics. Neither faith nor love belong to any specific form of government, any particular economic model, nor any political party. Paying taxes is not the same thing as almsgiving, and social programs are not the same thing as charity. Laws on the books cannot replace love in the hearts. You cannot tax or legislate or vote your way to heaven.

Election Day 2024 Prayer

O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Savior, the Prince of Peace; Give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions. Take away all hatred and prejudice, and whatsoever else may hinder us from godly union and concord: that as there is but one Body and one Spirit, and one hope of our calling, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of us all, so we may be all of one heart and of one soul, united in one holy bond of truth and peace, of faith and charity, and may with one mind and one mouth glorify thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favor and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Therefore let us in everything obey God and not contradict him, even although what he says, seem contrary to our reason and intelligence: let his word prevail over our reason and intelligence. For his word cannot deceive, but our perception is easily deceived. Therefore, when he says, “This is my body,“ let us yield, let us believe. St. John Chrysostom’s Homily l###ii. on St. Matthew.
