Christmas Novena Prayer Hail and blessed be the hour and moment In which the Son of God was born Of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires, [mention your request] through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother. Amen

The Supreme Court’s pro-abortion  Roe v. Wade  decision was argued on faulty constitutional grounds from the very beginning. In this interview with LifeSite’s Jim Hale, constitutional attorney Adèle Keim of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty explains why Wednesday’s Supreme Court hearing on Mississippi’s law restricting any abortion over 15 weeks could result in a reversal of the 1973 Supreme Court decision that wrongly made abortion a constitutional issue. “Mississippi has gone all the way to the Supreme Court to fight for this one proposition,” said Keim, “that  Roe v. Wade  was incorrectly decided nearly 50 years ago and it should be overturned.”

  1. Your example is where everything starts “The future of humanity passes by way of the family,” wrote Pope St. John Paul II (No. 75). By extension, the future of your family passes by way of … yes, your own personal example. Do our children see us as parents who are leading them consistently and lovingly in prayer? “Only by praying together with their children,” John Paul II writes in a striking passage, “can a father and mother — exercising their royal priesthood — penetrate the innermost depths of their children’s hearts and leave an impression that the future events in their lives will not be able to efface” (No. 60). When life gets difficult — when the inevitable temptations and hardships are encountered by our children — will the “innermost depths” of their hearts bear a permanent, convincing impression of God’s tender care for his people and of our faithfulness in mirroring that care for our children? Please God, yes! 2. You can’t outsource your role as primary educato

  The most powerful and successful nation in history stands on the brink of destruction. The power obsessed, quasi-religious secular leftists are implementing agendas to destroy our Christian Founded Republic, replacing it with suffocating big government Socialism, leading to third world inflation, shortages of everything, drug addictions, cruel poverty, and runaway crime in government dependency. Some of you remember Obama’s world-wide apology tour for America’s greatness upon his election, and his eight years of anemic I.8 percent GDP growth. It was as if they hated America, constantly condemning her as irredeemably racist, while she is melting pot most likely the least racist nation in human history. Today our ruler’s ignore reality, fundamental laws of economies, spending us into bankrupting poverty as pathological dishonest secularist, wanting to be dictator gods. They whisper, the spending orgy will cost nary a cent, reducing poverty as it drowns us with inflation after only te

  Blessed are the Pure in Heart: The Holy Family Camelia Murphy   Dear little handmaids and friends, You could consider this an early Christmas, only 2 pages long. Through the Holy Spirit, it is a perspective of the Reason for the Season. O, come let us Adore Him! Cami little handmaid Little Handmaids of Our Sorrowful Mother www.sorrowfulmother.net And Mary said, "Behold I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." (Lk 1:38) “Blessed are the Pure in Heart” The Holy Family A couple weeks ago the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and mind in the Silent Voice in which He communicates to me: “Write about purity.” My first reaction, which was also silent, and wordless, was a reaction of my heart, which I translate into words: “Are You sure You don’t have the wrong person? I know nothing about purity.” But, of course, He already knew that. Since then, He has been teaching me about purity, and has led me to the Holy Family, who could be

The best tips for staying focused in prayer involve the basic who and what questions, Fr. Josh Johnson says. St. Theresa of Avila, a Doctor of the Church, said that whenever we pray, if it is to be authentic, we need to know who we are talking to and what we are talking about. This is why the Church gives us traditional vocal prayers, to help us focus on the who and what of our prayer so that it’s not all in our heads. Prayer in silence can be more difficult, because it’s easier for your mind to drift when your prayers are not vocal. However, praying out loud can also be distracting to others, so be considerate if you are praying out loud and there are others around you trying to pray. In such situations, keep in mind that prayer can also be written down. Bring a prayer journal with you to prayer. By writing it down, we can see the words addressing who we are talking to and what we are talking about. Be sure to check out Fr. Josh’s book, Pocket Guide to Adoration ( https://ascens

 

NOT ONE MORE PENNY to Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) NOT ONE MORE PENNY Amid the myriad scandals plaguing the hierarchy today, one facet that always needs to be stressed is the finances. The bishops' money is really  our  money, the money of the laity. Church Militant's Joe Gallagher reports on how some laity have had enough of their donation money funding far-left activism. Michael Hichborn, founder and president of the Lepanto Institute: "The CCHD [Catholic Campaign for Human Development] is knowingly financing an organization that is directly promoting abortion, is partnered with Planned Parenthood and is heavily involved in the advocacy for homosexual activism." Catholic media across the country are teaming up to shut down the CCHD — the national anti-poverty program of the U.S. bishops.  In what many are calling the " Deception Collection ," the CCHD has had decades-long involvement in advocating for programs that directly contradict Cat

  I watched Shucks Tudd’s Meet the Press disinformation last Sunday. It was all about horrible Donald Trump, and lovable Joe Biden.  Old Shucks was pushing Republican Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland to run against Trump, thinking a barley Republican, near Democrat candidate was the perfect one to beat Trump. It was really a silly program; shucking and jiving about voters really didn’t intend to vote for Virginia’s new governor Glenn Youngkin, and the 13 newly Republicans State legislators, taking control of the Senate.  The voters were misled, dedicated to believing their children were indoctrinated rather than educated in school. They were so dumb they didn’t believe that Joe Biden received 81 million votes, breaking by far Trump’s new record of near 75 million votes, in the same election campaigning from his basement. They didn’t mention that Obama’s CIA director, John Brennan redacted notes revealed, and that Trump’s Russian collusion was Hillary’s paid for colluding with Russia

At the March for Life, we celebrate the beauty of adoption. Adoption has a critical role in saving lives, creating families, and offering hope to women and parents across the globe. Birth mothers, adoptive parents, and all adopted or waiting-to-be-adopted children are in our prayers in a special way this month.  At our recent 2022 March for Life Theme Debut, a good friend of the March for Life, Ryan Bomberger, reminded us of the depth of sacrificial love inherent in adoption. As one of 10 adopted children in a family of 15, Ryan and the Bomberger family truly embody the spirit of adoption as the loving embrace of life in spite of hardship.  Watch the clip below to hear Ryan’s incredibly touching story.   Participate in National Adoption Awareness Month by sharing pro-adoption resources and by learning about common myths encouraging mothers to abort their children instead of choosing adoption.  Check out these great adoption resources: 

  The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health on Dec. 1. The Mississippi law at stake in this case bans abortion after 15 weeks. The question before the Supreme Court is whether all pre-viability bans on elective abortions are unconstitutional. This is the case that could overturn Roe v. Wade—the Supreme Court decision which made abortion legal in all 50 states.  To register for a National Virtual Prayer Gathering and to help spread the word, visit  www.prayfordobbs.com .

  Blue Virginia turned Red, with dark blue New Jersey not far behind, and the GOP added 13 more Democrat congressional seats to the midterm target list, for a total of 70 after election night successes. Underdog businessman Republican Glenn Youngkin, surprisingly beat favorite, former Democrat Governor Terry McAuliffe. Republicans Winsome Sears, an impressive immigrant lady from Jamaica, was elected as the first Black Lieutenant governor, attractive Hispanic Jason Miryes Attorney General, and Virginia flipped 7 Senate Seats for Republican control. New Jersey was even more surprising. Democrat Governor Murphy received an unexpected scare from novice Republican Jack Ciattarelli. Googling the latest, it looks too close to call, maybe headed for a recount.. Edward Durr, a truck driver said to spend only $153, defeated New Jersey Democrat Senate leader Sweeney, the longest serving leader in history. Perhaps after 2020, America is having honest elections?? Newly elected Durr said he was
