Mary, good question.

If understood in the sense of factions, agenda-driving, and moral compromise, then no, no one has a vocation in politics.

If understood in the sense of mutual cooperation with others in order to ensure the common good, then yes, everyone has a vocation in politics.

When someone is political, I mean that they are divisive and overly concerned about the affairs of this world.

I’m talking about the woman with pictures of Palin plastered on her refrigerator and dumb “lipstick on a pig” placards everywhere. I’m talking about the man who dresses exactly like Obama and recites phrases from the “Audacity of Hope” like mantras.

And these folks are more common than I ever imagined.

Agreed. Difficult times may be ahead, and prayer is needed. We must make atonement for the sins of our nation, to ensure God’s blessings on our children.

We must also pray for our new President. He needs our support, and our Lord’s grace. Our country is going through difficult times.

(On top of the Psalm I said every day for the same intention.)
