> Bill Young reflects on the 2020 election and the need for spiritual clarity amidst political turmoil, leading into a traditional prayer for the discernment of truth.

## Seeking Truth in a Time of Confusion

Today is Saturday, November 7th, the first Saturday of the month. I have a special prayer for today that I believe is very important: the Prayer to the Holy Spirit for Discernment of the Truth. We need this now because of the state of our country. Looking at the major media, like CNN, they called the race for Joe Biden without having all the information from Pennsylvania. There are serious questions about how votes were counted without poll watchers being able to actually see the ballots. If there was nothing to hide, there would have been observers from both sides present.

## Concerns Over Election Integrity

We see these reported 'glitches' in dozens of counties across many states, all seemingly favoring one side. In Georgia, we saw thousands of votes appearing for Biden with zero for Trump. In Pennsylvania, Trump was ahead by 700,000 votes, and the rule of law regarding the separation of ballots after 8 p.m. was not followed. It is not surprising to see this kind of corruption given the history of the Biden family and the influence of corrupt officials in Philadelphia.

## The Spiritual Battle

We must pray for the discernment of truth because God knows all. We have to accept that Satan works to blind the good and uphold the evil. This is a spiritual battle. St. Lucy of Fatima had a vision where our Lord stated that the great battle at the end would be about the family—Jesus versus Satan. Anyone who stands against the family is on the wrong side. We see this influence even within the Church, with some bishops and clergy aligning themselves with ideologies that oppose our faith and our freedom of religion.

## Faith and Perseverance

Regardless of the political outcome, I remain 100% supportive of President Trump and his family. Whether he wins or loses, I believe history may one day show he was one of the greatest presidents in a century because of what he endured. If the truth does not come out, it may mean the end times are closer than we thought. We may face persecution or martyrdom, but we trust that the Blessed Mother will eventually crush the head of the serpent and all evil-doers.

## Prayer for Discernment

In a world of 'deep states' and media manipulation, we must turn to the Holy Spirit. 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

O Spirit of God, who through your own light can distinguish between truth and error, help us to know the truth. Dispel the darkness and show us reality. Grant that we may recognize the true language of God in the depths of our soul; help us distinguish it from every other voice. Show us your divine will in every circumstance of our life so that we may make the right decisions. Help us discern the signs of God in all events, the proposals that He makes to us, and the teachings which He wants us to encapsulate in us. Grant that we may discern your suggestions so that we may not miss any of your inspirations. Give us your spiritual perceptions, which allow us to discover the love that demands, and grant us to understand all the generosity asked of us. And above all, lift our gaze to you, O Holy Spirit, wherever your activity touches us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

*In times of political and social chaos, the only sure way to find reality is to ask the Holy Spirit for the grace of discernment.*
