Choose Life Australia

We have been called, rather disparagingly, by those who currently seek to destroy, “the Nations of the Cross” (Libya, on the beach “A message signed in blood, to the nations of the cross”). And yes, Lord, we wear the cross as a badge of honour and we place it, with solemnity, on the tombs of those who have fallen and we are sobered as we survey those fields of crosses.

And we live in this “tension” between suffering and glory. Glory to God for our blessings, our present (but eroding) freedom, every new day the glory of His creation in all that we see and experience – held in contrast with the sufferings of our neighbour here and elsewhere.
