Newly revealed information about al-Qa’eda’s plan of attack suggests it will be a multi-pronged approach on multiple fronts, in multiple locations, by multiple means–including assassination.
Let’s hope that the capture of key figures involved in the plot and their hard drives will convince al-Qa’eda leadership that the operation has been so compromised that it needs to be called off.
Let’s also pray that the information that has been captured is sufficient to let the authorities capture the rest of terrorists involved in the plot and to continue to disrupt al-Qa’eda operations.
Lord, hear our prayer.

Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

You are up against Evil itself, the one who has warped these evil men.
Pity them for they have been deluded. Pity them for they will be felled eventually and eternally.
We have God and Christ and the Spirit and The Sacrifice and the Saints and the Angels on our side. They do not abandon their own.
The enemy only has the Defeated One, who is destined for destruction himself, and who cannot even save himself.
May God place St. Michael the Archangel at the helm of Homeland Security.
I’m not worried. pResident Bush keeps telling us we’re safer. And anyway, the administration was apparently so unconcerned about al-Qaida that they blew the identity of a double-agent that our new (formerly Taliban patron) friends in Pakistn had inside the organization.
