                   Abortions on a Sunday? Even on the Lord’s Day, there are abortionists open for business. As hard as that may seem to believe, it’s true. Your prayers are needed so women don’t make a mistake that will cost their babies their lives — and will perhaps affect them in ways they can’t even imagine for years to come. But even for those who have made that mistake, there is eternal hope. Here are a couple of stories of hurt … and healing. UNEXPECTED CALL I’m going to keep the location confidential for this first story. “I received a call from a woman telling me she had gotten information about our campaign from a local church,” a local leader said, “and she wanted to know if she could help. Her voice was a little broken, as she explained to me that people just don’t realize how they might feel later.” The caller went on to say that women who think abortion is the answer just don’t realize that years later, they’ll be wo

DALLAS, TEXAS Close to 250 faithful gathered at a city park across the street from the Dallas late-term abortion facility where the 40 Days for Life vigil is taking place. Kickoff rally participants signed up for vigil hours while visiting with local pro-life ministries at tables set up throughout the park. The rally began with praise and worship, followed by remarks from area pastors. Dave Sterrett, who serves on the 40 Days for Life board of directors, gave the keynote talk. "A couple of special messages resounded throughout the evening," said Lauren Muzyka of the 40 Days for Life national team. "Speakers highlighted the special role that men play in defending the gift of life, as well as the hope we have in God -- that He is big enough to conquer and end the evil of abortion in our land."

(Received in email) I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, 'This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received. I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world. Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section. The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them." I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth. Finally at the farthest end

Dear Friends, President Obama has taken the battle to us regarding life and liberty. Now we’re taking the battle to him! Join me and Priests for Life Youth Outreach Director, Bryan Kemper, on Sunday, September 30 at 12 noon, right across from the White House in Lafayette Park in Washington, DC to pray the Rosary. This prayer service, in which I will be joined by many other pro-life leaders, will be followed by a rally at which I will give the opening speech. This event, called “Acts 5:29” and organized by my long-time friend and colleague, Rev. Pat Mahoney, is part of our continuing effort to bring attention to the unjust HHS mandate and a renewal of our intention to disobey the mandate. On August 1, I issued a memo to all of the Priests for Life employees, consultants and prospective employees stating our intention to disobey. You can view the video and read my statement at http://www.priestsforlife.org/hhsmandate/conscientious-objection.htm .     Find out more a

A professor in a college ethics class presented his students with a problem. He said, ‘A man has syphilis and his wife has tuberculosis. They have had four children: one has died, the other three have what is considered to be a terminal illness. The mother is pregnant. What do you recommend?’ After a spirited discussion, the majority of the class voted that she should abort the child. ‘Fine,’ said the professor. ‘You’ve just killed Beethoven.’ Pattie Mallette was sexually abused as a child and, by age 14, was already using drugs and alcohol. When her hardships became too much to bear, she attempted suicide by throwing herself in front of an oncoming truck. Then, while staying in a psychiatric hospital during one of the darkest points of her life, she discovered God through a friend and became a Christian. This conversion, she said, gave her peace of mind. But, after just six months, she relapsed back into bad behaviour and, at age 17, discovered she was pregnant.

  October, the month dedicated to the Holy Rosary, is fast upon us. We recall that Our Lady of Fatima especially asked us to pray the Rosary every day for peace and conversion. October 1st marks the Feast of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, one of the truly great exponents of Catholic doctrine, who was made a Doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II.    

In this presidential election we are challenged to reconcile our strong feelings, opinions and habits with what Catholic social teaching tells us is right and just, as we are faced with our commitment to our faith versus our public choices in the voting booth.
