The news about starvation deaths, mostly of children in GAZA, as a result of conditions of war, primarily caused by Israel's blockade of food aid into Gaza, is grabbing more and more of my attention and disrupting my typical prayer schedule and duties at the hermitage.
LINKS TO NEWS ARTICLES ABOUT STARVATION IN GAZA:
I had already been following the effects of the cuts made to humanitarian efforts by the Trump administration. "[T]he Trump administration has shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) , which funded the majority of U.S. humanitarian and development assistance worldwide to people in some of the worst crises." (OXFAM)
The United States halted humanitarian aid around the world during Elon Musk's slash-and-burn campaign that was advertised to eliminate "waste, fraud and abuse" but which succeeded only in sacrificing crucial functions of our government, which included the prevention of starvation around the world.

ASSOCIATED PRESS: AP: Children die as USAID aid cuts snap a lifeline for the world’s most malnourished
INTERNATIONAL CRISIS GROUP: ICG: U.S. Aid Cuts Make Famine More Likely and Easier to Hide
Every time I think about it, I try, in vain, to hold back tears and I end up weeping for some minutes. I feel I am being called to take control of my attention span and focus a portion of my prayer time for the benefit of the starving and suffering people.
I OFFER UP MY TEARS FOR STARVING AND SUFFERING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD.
CHILDREN IN GAZA ARE STARVING TO DEATH WHILE TRUMP RIPS UP THE ROSE GARDEN FOR THE SAKE OF AN EXPANSE OF CEMENT AND UNMOCKS THE WEST WING TO BUILD A GROSSLY TACKY BALLROOM.
BEHIND THE SCENES, CHILD RAPIST AND TRAFFICKER GHISLAINE MAXWELL HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE CUSHIEST PRISON FOR WOMEN THAT IS MORE LIKE A RESIDENTIAL RESORT FOR BAD ACCOUNTANTS, WHILE THE FBI HAS REDACTED TRUMP'S NAME FROM THE EPSTEIN MATERIALS, AND TRUMP IS OBVIOUSLY POSITIONING HIMSELF TO PARDON VILE PEDOPHIHLE / RAPIST / CHILD TRAFFICKER GHISLAINE MAXWELL IN EXCHANGE FOR PROTECTING TRUMP FROM EXPOSURE IN THE EPSTEIN FILES.
AT THE SAME TIME, IT HAS BEEN REVEALED THAT THE "GIFT" FROM QATTAR OF THE LUXURY AIRPLANE (THAT TRUMP IS SAID TO BE PREPARED TO TAKE WITH HIM WHEN HE LEAVES OFFICE ) IS GOING TO COST A BILLION DOLLARS TO RETROFIT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE USED AS AIR FORCE ONE.
TRUMP JUST RETURNED FROM SCOTLAND, WHERE THE PEOPLE LOATHE AND DESPISE HIM. THEY PROTESTED AGAINST HIS VISIT (WHICH COST THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS ABOUT TEN MILLION DOLLARS, EVEN THOUGH HIS ENTIRE PURPOSE WAS A PERSONAL ONE - SO THAT HE COULD OPEN A NEW PORTION OF HIS PERSONALLY OWNED GOLF RESORT. (THERE IS A VIDEO OF HIS CADDY HELPING HIM CHEAT AND THROWING A FAKE BALL ONTO THE GREEN WHEN TRUMP FAILED TO HIT THE REAL ONE INTO THE RIGHT SPOT.)
THE GRIFTING AND COVER UPS NEVER STOP.
OUR FATHER...
HAIL MARY....
GLORY BE...
FATIMA PRAYER...
JESUS PRAYER...
AMEN

NARRATIVE:
The contrast between the starving children and the gross, tasteless extravagance of Trump's rebuilds just kills me. I burst into tears and wept for several minutes. I can't remember crying for myself in that way. My heart is broken for those children, just like during Trump's FIRST administration, when he ripped children out of the arms of the parents and imprisoned them behind chicken wire to sleep on cement. (TO THIS DAY - about 1,000 of those children were NEVER RETURNED TO THEIR PARENTS because Trump didn't give a crap about making sure that the parents and children were reunited.)
[MORE WEEPING ON MY PART.]
I am so unhappy about what is happening in our country. Trump and his vile toadies are doing everything evil that should not be done, and destroying everything good, wholesome and right.
OUR FATHER...
HAIL MARY....
GLORY BE...
FATIMA PRAYER...
JESUS PRAYER...
AMEN

NARRATIVE:
I watched WASHINGTON WEEK tonight. First I listened to their report on the children starving in Gaza and how Bibi Netanyahu is blocking food from entering the area. (I remember reading about how Musk crushed USAID, and the resulting starvation of the children in the Sudan and other areas, which continues.) THEN I watched/listened to how Trump is tearing up the grass in the rose garden and replacing it with CONCRETE.
AND THEN there was the piece about how Trump is closing down the West Wing and TURNING IT INTO A LUXURIOUS BALLROOM for big parties.

THEN, on another program, I hear about how Trump is making noises that make it appear that he is on the verge of pardoning pervert Ghislane Maxwell, who groomed and then joined Epstein in raping school girls.

Please pray for the renewal of our national moral fiber and the resurrection of our compassionate Christian heart. But, most of all, please pray for the Lord to save the world's children from people like Donald Trump, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the Right Wing Lie Machine.
God bless us all.

OUR FATHER:
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,

As we forgive those who trespass against us,
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from Evil.
Amen
HAIL MARY:
Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Now and at the hour of our Death.
Amen.

Is now, and ever shall be,
World without end,

Especially those most in need of thy mercy.

Have mercy upon me,
a poor sinner.
