Aloha kākou. It is Holy Saturday (Pōʻaono Hemolele) also known as Easter Vigil. The time in-between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. It’s the seventh and final day of Holy Week. Holy Saturday is also known in other cultures as, Hallelujah Saturday (in Portugal and Brazil), Glorious Saturday (in the Philippines), or Easter Eve, and called “Joyous Saturday” or “the Saturday of Light” among Coptic Christians.
Holy Saturday, or Easter Eve, is the third and final day of the Triduum, or the “Three Days” leading up to Easter during Holy Week. On Good Friday we commemorate Jesus’s passion and crucifixion. The triduum begins on Holy Thursday and ends at the conclusion of Easter Sunday. It encompasses the evening of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and finally, Easter Sunday.
Unfortunately, Christianity has been under assault by the left for centuries since Jesus Christ first established his church upon the rock. Many people in politics, the media, and celebrity status have discriminated against Catholics. Mocked and belittled them for their adherence to their faith, Christians have been refused jobs and opportunities because of their faith.
In some countries, especially in African nations, violence against Christians by Muslims is growing. Islam has murdered and enslaved Christians with little or no world news coverage.
It is said that Christianity is the only religion where anyone can mock and discriminate against without any repercussions. Discrimination against any other religion would be considered Hate Speech. Say anything derogatory against Islam and you’re called “Islamo-Phobic.” Against Judaism and you’re called “Antisemitic.” These are just the religions that are considered protected classes. Now, the introduction of false religions is making its way into mainstream society.
Hate speech against Christians is common in unpolite society and on Unsocial Media platforms. Just as Jesus was persecuted for his faith in the Father, Christians have endured the same discrimination. Even in our own Nation of the United States, a supposedly Catholic leader, has banned all Christian symbols at the White House for Easter Sunday and has as declared Easter a day of “Transgender Visibility.”
I am outraged by this discrimination against Christians on this Holiest day of the year. But I remember the Sermon on the Mount and what it means to be a follower of Christ the Saviour.
As a Catholic, forgiveness is the hardest commandment for me. I can easily get offended and unleash my unique form of biting sarcasm. It’s easy for others to discriminate against Christian Catholics and that’s because Jesus commands us to be humble in in return. To turn the other cheek and go on to live our daily lives. It’s hard to forgive those that discriminate against us. To say a prayer for those that discriminate against us. I say again, forgiveness is the hardest commandment for me to follow.
On this Easter Virgil, I’m going to redirect my disgust and anger from this corrupt government discrimination towards Christians this Easter. President Trump issued a statement:
“It is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden’s White House prohibited children from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter Art Event, and formally proclaimed Easter Sunday as ‘Trans Day of Visibility’,” the Trump campaign said. “Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden Administration’s years-long assault on the Christian faith.”
Trending Politics posted this in-depth analysis of Pedo-Hitler Biden’s regime that is well worth the read. It goes through this regime’s history where the decline of morality begins with past Marxist democrat regimes. The wokeness and public shaming against anyone that would reject accepting the mutilation of children for transgender experimentation. We’re witnessing the decline of our civilization beginning with this nation’s posterity. The most vulnerable being taken advantage of by the least worthy of God’s grace.
The only way to stop this social contagion is to gather in unified prayer and determination. We must vote this debauchery out of government and keep it out, once, and forever. As President Trump is rightfully fond of saying, “They’re really after you, and I’m just in their way.” The persecution against Trump is just a marker for what plans Marxist democrats have for the rest of us. This is why we are being replaced with illegal aliens. It’s why our freedoms are being stripped away. The increased regulations, cost of living, and restrictions on our God given liberties. They’re all part of the front to transform America. It’s the continuation of what started with past presidencies. Now is our final stand against tyranny and restore America’s greatness. VOTE
