The Olympics in China distracted us while a dire situation was occurring in Europe. Russia invading Georgia may only be the beginning. According to news reports, Poland, Ukraine and the Czech Republic may all be next.

Russia has not changed its goal. The majority of the people are peaceful, but the people in control of the government still want to control the world. They are just using a different strategy. We must face the reality that our country is in grave danger.

Russia needs to be consecrated religiously as advised during World War I, but still is not done. The pope, with the bishops, must consecrate Russia specifically to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as was requested by Our Lady of Fatima.

The only way to have real peace is prayer, sacrifice and moral living. The people of the United States, with our freedom of religion, can do much to have this accomplished.
