Just last month one of the highest-ranking Cardinals in the Vatican alerted Christians that the moral struggle we are facing in the world today “is a war.” It is “critical at this time that Christians stand up for the natural moral law,” especially in defense of life and the family, said Cardinal Raymond Burke. We are, he said, “well on the way” to the persecution of Christians in America.
“If Christians do not stand strong, give a strong witness and insist on what is right and good for us both as and individuals and society,” the former Archbishop of St. Louis warned, “this secularization will in fact predominate and it will destroy us.”
For the past 15 years, LifeSiteNews has been cataloging on a daily basis what many can see is the decline of Christian civilization throughout the world. However, in the last year it seems the times are harder, the finances tighter, the stakes higher, the pressures greater, the threats more severe and the temptations to abandon the fight stronger.
We know and feel these pressures just as you do. And, as the saying goes, ‘when the going gets tough, the tough get going’. You are the tough ones!
You’re there for your children, for your grandchildren and to be true to your faith in God and His designs for life and family. So what do we do now that the forces of the culture of death seem to be on a major offensive?
It’s straightforward, actually. Now is the time to redouble our efforts in the face of growing persecution. We must now press ahead more than ever before. We must put more of our time, talent, and treasure into this battle for lives, hearts, and ultimately for souls.
Will you join the fight by supporting our Christmas Campaign? We have only raised a fraction of our goal and are counting on you!

At LifeSiteNews we are in critical need of your most generous donations. Your support keeps millions of people around the world aware of what is happening on the most important battlefield on earth – that of morality – the battle for souls.
Around the world people of faith who hold dear to the culture of life are recognizing the darkening times, and that this time may indeed be a final struggle before an intense time of ‘persecution’ as Cardinal Burke suggested.
For all of us however, this time IS the final battle.
Our lives, in terms of eternity, are very brief – only a moment. What are we doing with that time, that short time we are given? What are we doing with that treasure, that small treasure we’ve been given? Are we putting our time and treasure toward the good fight?
That’s where our efforts need to be. When our life comes to an end and the final battle is done – at least for us personally—we want to be able to see that we’ve been faithful with that time and treasure we were given.
So I’m asking you now to make a substantial contribution to LifeSiteNews, to this work, to this fight for the culture of life. A contribution worthy to be able to say— yes I made a significant contribution to the good fight, I made a sacrificial donation – I used my treasure wisely.
The overall battle is indeed won. However, there remains a major struggle ahead prior to that final victory. During that deadly final struggle it will often seem, as it does at times today, that the powers of darkness are prevailing. Yet, those are precisely the times when we can best show our dedication and love for God and His Truth.
When times are good and things come easy it is hardly a show of love to give a little from plenty. However, when times are tough, it is only true love which gives much from poverty.
For each one of us the final battle is waging right now. Are you ready to fight the good fight? Please help us reach our goal this Christmas. Only 2 weeks remain!
