Del Rio Texas Lifechain 2014 - Amistad Pregnancy Care Center APCC

Image
(Email received) I would like to share of few pictures from our lifechain here in Del Rio Texas, I counted 130 people, each year its getting bigger, everyone was excited to join the prayer chain.  Del Rio Texas has a new ecumenical Pro Life organization called  Del Rio 4 Life , this year they wanted to help organize the lifechain and help our crisis pregnancy center.  Our crisis pregnancy center is the one that has been organizing the life chain in the past, so when Del Rio 4 Life offer to organize the lifechain, I new they were God sent.   After the many lifechains we have organized the fruits are now showing,  St. Joseph Life Teen and Edge youth  group came to support the Lifechain while collecting baby items for our local crisis pregnancy center.  It is my hope that with the support of Del Rio 4 life organization Del Rio Texas will able to conduct a more uniformed and larger chain.  I also made this short 3 minute flipagram, its a short video of some of the

A clearer picture of vocation as little handmaids

Image
(Email received) Dear little handmaids, my sisters, I would like to share a portion of my prayer journal entry of Friday, October 17, 2014: …[I start wondering at this point if what I have written for the little handmaids has any value, and the Blessed Mother (speaking to my heart) says:  “It’s all part of the picture, my child.”  An image comes (to my mind) of the whole scene of the Crucifixion.] Later, as I’m working, I ask the Blessed Mother what part of the picture the little handmaids are, and St. Mary Magdalene immediately comes to mind. I remember the images of her and Our Sorrowful Mother, as portrayed in The Passion of the Christ. I understand that, as Mary Magdalene had a spiritually intimate relationship with Jesus, profoundly loving…she also had a very close, loving relationship with Jesus’ Mother. I understand that Mary Magdalene is, perhaps, the greatest model of a repentant sinner, who  “loved (Jesus) much because she was forgiven

Stop Planned Parenthood mega-abortion center under construction in San Antonio, Texas

Image
(Email received) Greetings  Pro-Lifers! On Feb. 1st, 2014, Archbishop Gregory Aymond of New Orleans, stated the following..."There is no justification, including economic hardship that will make a direct or indirect relationship with Planned  Parenthood or any abortion provider, acceptable... All citizens of the New Orleans area must stand together for a peaceful community, not one with more abortion and more Planned Parenthood."  Since late June 2014, construction has stopped at a planned abortion center in New Orleans.   Praise God!  Now, in city of St. Anthony, news broke of the planned location of new mega-abortion mill planning to kill over 200+ babies a month...In the heart of the medical center at 2140 Babcock. http://www.mysanantonio.com/default/photo/Jeffrey-Hons-president-and-CEO-of-Planned-6988154.php Further sickening is the sheer number of abortion rooms in this center, re

Afterwords: A Ministry of Mercy

Image
Afterwords:  A Ministry of Mercy -           Every moment of life is a gift of God’s Mercy -           Unleash the miracle of forgiveness and mercy for ourselves and our loved ones -           Jesus reaches out in love, forgiveness and mercy to those who hate, attack and dishonor Him; pray that we may do the same -           Unforgiveness is the cause of so much brokenness and unhappiness in our lives, may we learn to use the key of forgiveness to unleash the miracle of mercy for ourselves and our loved ones -           There is an enormous disparity between the powerful resources available to the forces promoting the culture of death and the means at the disposal of those working for a culture of life and love; however, we have faith in God our Father and Lord, in His goodness and mercy that God is preparing a great new springtime of Christian life which will be revealed when Christians are docile to the action of the Holy Spirit May we know the

October 17, 2014: Del Rio News-Herald * Letter to the Editor * "In the spirit of Fiesta de Amistad"

Image
In the spirit of Fiesta de Amistad To the Editor, A Fiesta de Amistad Fable: Memo, the Mexican Mouse and Norton, El Ratón Norte Americano were the very best of friends and they spent many a day atop Amistad Dam, playing the famous “rat and mouse” game, it’s similar to the infamous “cat and mouse” game, but Memo and Norton knew there was no playing around with cats. Cats were the enemy. Memo and Norton hated cats, they despised cats, they detested cats; all they wanted to do was degrade and destroy cats. They had always hated cats and they will always hate all cats, whether they are Mexican Cats or Gatos Norte Americanos; that is just the way things are with Memo and Norton. Don’t even bring up the subject of cats, because they will rant and rage on and on, and they will tell you all the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad things about cats. Now I know some of you are disgusted to learn that there are rodents atop Am
