SHALOM (Pray for Israel)

For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. Deut 7: 6

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2: 9

God has never gone against his Holy Word, there is NO doubt ... Israel IS the chosen people of God, they were the recipient of the first covenant and although the Jews broke it according to the Holy Word of Yahweh, the Father Almighty in Jeremiah, but despite His Chosen People have broken the old covenant, God shows infinite Mercy to His people and let them know His plan of love:

"The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them," declares the LORD. "This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."  Jer 31: 31-34

Although, when that promise of God came, the new covenant in Jesus Christ and was rejected by the ecclesiastical hierarchy of that time, yet Israel continues to be the Chosen People of God despite their broken covenant .

Therefore it is the duty of every Catholic in their daily prayers for the people of Israel, that God gives the necessary graces and blessings they need to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we must never lodge hatred in our hearts, rather pray for all who rejects Jesus around the world for its salvation and especially for Israel.

Our Blessed Mother Mary in Fatima asked us to pray for all sinners for their conversion, Jesus asks us to pray for our enemies and those who persecute us; imagine the joy they’ll have when they see us that we pray for the conversion of the people where they were born and suffered.

Therefore, whosoever does NOT pray for Israel for their conversion, that is, prays for them to accept Jesus into their hearts, is not Catholic. Just as when Jesus was born, the Jewish shepherds and the wise men came together to worship Him, the same will happen in the end when we finally get together as brothers to worship and receive our King in His 2nd coming.

Pray for Israel and its conversion ... THERE IS NOTHING MORE CATHOLIC TO PRAY FOR THE CONVERSION OF MEN AND EVEN MORE IF IT IS ISRAEL.

SHALOM.
