  Personal reflection: People who have opposed every American military involvement, suddenly have changed and are now calling for no fly zones over Ukraine and direct combat with the Russians which could end in a nuclear exchange costing untold millions of lives.

 

  I am not sure!  If he was determined for Ukraine to win, he would put real hurting sanctions on Russia, as Trump did. I read that Kerry paid Iran 100 billion, 17 billion or 10 billion, but google had nothing concerning the new Biden/Kerry deal with Iran. Washington Free Beacon, on 3-18 reported that “Russia’s top state-controlled energy company, Rosatom, is set to cash in on a $10 billion contract to build one of Iran’s most contested nuclear sites, as part of the concessions granted in the soon-to-be-announced nuclear agreement, guaranteeing sanctions on both countries are lifted. Rosatom is set to work on the Bushehr nuclear plant in Tehran. According to the Free Beacon, ‘Russia and the Biden administration confirmed on Tuesday that the new nuclear agreement includes carveouts that will waive sanctions on both countries, so that Russia can make good on this contract. “The column further states that “Biden is set to give major concessions to Iran.” One will allow Russia t...

 

Personal reflection: If everyone just doesn’t drive for two (2) weeks  we can flatten the curve on the gas price at the pump.  

O Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, in this time of trial we turn to you.  As our Mother, you love us and know us: no concern of our hearts is hidden from you.  Mother of mercy, how often we have experienced your watchful care and your peaceful presence!  You never cease to guide us to Jesus, the Prince of Peace.          Yet we have strayed from that path of peace.  We have forgotten the lesson learned from the tragedies of the last century, the sacrifice of the millions who fell in two world wars.  We have disregarded the commitments we made as a community of nations.  We have betrayed peoples’ dreams of peace and the hopes of the young.  We grew sick with greed, we thought only of our own nations and their interests, we grew indifferent and caught up in our selfish needs and concerns.  We chose to ignore God, to be satisfied with our illusions, to grow arrogant and aggressive, to suppress innocent liv...

 

Do Priests Remember Your Sins? We’ve all wondered about it. When we go to Confession, does the priest remember our sins? Many Catholics would love to take the opportunity to seek out forgiveness during Lent but are held back by fear. In this short video, Father Mike shares how priests really feel about hearing your sins in Confession.

  After the end of WW1 in 1919, Uncle Joe Stalin simply took over Ukraine, making her part of the communist Soviet Union. The Ukrainians considered themselves a Central European people, like the Poles, resisted.  In 1932, not wanting to lose the breadbasket of Europe, Uncle Joe simply, as communist dictators do, took away the fertile farmland, leaving the resisting Ukrainians to starve.  He would teach them a lesson to obey his dictatorial demand, sort-a-like, you better wear your mask, and take your shot, or we will punish you by withholding money from Moscow, or reasonable facsimile of the capital of another nation, say---perhaps Washington D.C., until you do! Well, Ukraine really did starve under Uncle Joe Stalin.  In 1933, without a crumb of bread, 17 people died every minute, more than 1000 every hour, about 24,500 every day!  So many died Uncle Joe Stalin refused to release the unexplainable next census, and either killed or sent the census takers to the...

 

 

 

  The Catholic Diocese of Culiacán told politicians who voted to legalize abortions in Sinaloa, Mexico this month that they may not receive communion. “Can a deputy or any person who professes to be a Catholic, while openly cooperating or legislating against life, receive Holy Communion? No. You cannot approach Sacramental Communion,” diocese official Father Miguel Ángel Soto Gaxiola told lawmakers,  according to the Catholic News Agency . Last week, Sinaloa became the seventh state in Mexico to legalize the killing of unborn babies in abortions up to 13 weeks. Most states still protect unborn babies from abortion, but  a ruling by the national Supreme Court last year decriminalizing abortion  has emboldened abortion activists to push for pro-abortion laws across the country. Soto Gaxiola said Catholic lawmakers who voted to legalize abortion may not receive communion or become godparents in the diocese, according to CNA. By voting to allow the killing of unborn babi...

  This Administrations doesn’t even like America! The inflation cost of every household is $296.00 per month, as of March12 and growing. We shut down our world dominance in oil, starting the first day of Biden’s presidency. Biden shut down our Keystone pipeline from Canada to Houston, and opened the Trump closed Nord Stream 2 pipeline from, Russia to Germany, assisting Russia ability to supply Europe’s crude oil. Why? Hunter Biden’s deals with the Russian Oligarchs? When the Democrat, pushed by events, and Republicans in Congress, threatened to pass legislation forbidding buying oil from Russia, what did Biden do? He first tried to arrange a deal with Communist Venezuela. Biden lifted the Trump sanctions against Iran, and John Kerry took $11 Billion to them, returning to Obama polices, favoring our enemies and punishing our friends. Then Biden agreed to buy oil from Iran. Saudi Arabia wouldn’t answer Biden’s desperate call for ramping up their oil to America. Maybe they agreed wi...

  Pro-life groups from across the country have come together to promote March 25 as the Day of the Unborn Child, Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, announced today. “The Day of the Unborn Child has been officially established in many nations, in some cases by the Church and in other cases by the civil government. Elsewhere, the day is observed by individuals, families, and organizations. “The day is observed in many Christian Churches as the Annunciation on which, as we read in the first chapter of Luke’s Gospel, Mary says yes to the angel’s surprise announcement that she would conceive Jesus in her womb. Nine months later, of course, we celebrate his birth on Christmas. “The celebration of March 25 as the Day of the Unborn Child was first recognized in El Salvador in 1993 and has grown rapidly. In 2003, the first Provida International Congress in Madrid with representation from over 20 countries in Europe and the Americas institutionalized March 25th as...
