Just one more place where pro-lifers are being censored, and penalized!
SHAME on Twitter for closing the account!   SHAME!!!
And yes, I am going to share this ON TWITTER, and let them know EXACTLY where I stand!

Some parties NEED to be crashed... and spoiled.  Abortion is NOT something that should be celebrated.  Let's remember all the BIRTHDAYS that will NEVER be celebrated.

Homily 2013 01 30 Fr Mark Mary MFVA St Hyacinth Marescotti Virgin

A wonderful homily from Fr. Mark.

Three Great Homilies From EWTN

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

There are times when I wish that the homilies we hear on EWTN  could be compiled into a book, (or several books).  I would certainly buy it (or them)!

Salon Article Says Unborn Baby is "A Life Worth Sacrificing" | LifeNews.com

Salon Article Says Unborn Baby is "A Life Worth Sacrificing" | LifeNews.com

Here is a quote from the article:
Of all the diabolically clever moves the anti-choice lobby has ever pulled, surely one of the greatest has been its consistent co-opting of the word “life.” 
Excuse me?  Giving the word "life" its proper definition is
co-opting?  What about the way the pro-abortionists have
co-opted, no, make that DISTORTED the word "choice"?

JoyJotsJournal

I was reformatting my "Jots of Joy" page, and it got all messed up. C'est la vie!
Anyway, I decided to start over, (and thank God that we CAN start over!) and make
a separate journal.  Not a blog this time; a journal.

Tragic Anniversary

Today, January 22, 2013, is the 40th anniversary of the most tragic event in the history of our country: The legalization of abortion.

God help America.

Homily 2013-01-17 - Fr Anthony Mary MFVA - St Anthony

Another great homily from Fr. Anthony.

U.S. Bishops Call For ‘Nine Days Of Prayer, Penance And Pilgrimage’ Surrounding 40th Anniversary Of Roe V. Wade

Click  here for the article.

Fr. Anthony spoke about this at the beginning of his homily this morning.  (That homily will

be posted as soon as it is available on YouTube).

There is also a novena which we are asked to pray.

As for sacrifices, mine will be a simple one; I'm not saying that it will be easy, nor would I want
it to be easy.  
I'm going to do without coffee for the nine days beginning on the 19th.  Please pray that I persevere!

An Icon and a Stained Glass Image

Appropriately  for today, I've added an icon and a Tiffany stained glass image of the Baptism of Our Lord to my Rosary Art Collection.
