" Even now, says the LORD, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping and mourning: Rend your hearts and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in love, and repents him of the evil. Who knows if he will not return and will not repent, and if he does not leave a blessing behind him, offerings and libations for the LORD your God? "Blow the trumpet in Zion! A fast, call a solemn Assemble the people, form a holy meeting! Gather the elders, gather the children, even infants at the breast! So that the spouse of his home, the wife of his room! Between the porch and altar weep priests, servants of the Lord, and they say: Lord, spare thy people! " (Joel 2:2-17) . Who now hears the voice that resounds in the Church? If the square of the city a voice of thunder sounded from heaven, saying, "Save, O people, that the Lord spare you!", maybe someone will hear and he wakes up he ecstasy of his pleasures, desires and wine. priests continue to plead, "Save us, O Lord!" But the Lord is the answer just yet terrible, "I will not spare, for there is none who seeks to be spared."
Everyone stands turning his back to the Lord , they turned from Him and have forgotten.
