A Must-See Video!

EWTN

3 hrs · Edited · 

You will definitely want to share this far and wide. The Today Show -- yes, the Today Show -- aired this segment on "The Secret Lives of Babies." It discusses "life in the womb -- and it's much busier in there than you might expect!" The Holy Spirit is obviously at work getting the truth out in the secular media. Praise the Lord! Thanks to the Susan B. Anthony list for bringing this to our attention!

I love the title of the first chapter:

Playfair and the Reader Simultaneously"

[non-fiction]

(Kindle book)

{Sunday books}

Bible books(s) read this week:

I've finally faced the fact that I'm not going to be able to buy the entire series, so I'm reading the books I already have, and reading the online synopses of those
I don't have.  I'd rather read a synopsis for free than spend money on an abridged
version.

"Happy is the Heart"
by Sarah Birnhack
[children's fiction, Jewish]

"All The Time You Need, The Greatest Gift In The World" #
by Robert R. Updegraff
[nonfiction]

Giving Yourself Away," which the author wrote under
the pen-name David Dunn. )
This book also offers good advice, and interesting anecdotes.

Planned Parenthood Suggests Teen Girl “Poop” on Her Partner for “Sexual Exploration”

That disgusting organization, Planned Parenthood, sinks to
a new level of perversion.  I did not watch the videos; I have
too much respect for my stomach.

Excuse me for sounding crude and childish but....

"The Diamond in the Window"
"The Swing in the Summerhouse"
"The Astonishing Stereoscope"
by Jane Langton
[fiction, fantasy, ages 10 and up]
I like the stories, but unfortunately
the author writes erroneously about
the doctrine of the Real Presence
in "The Astonishing Stereoscope."
What's worst of all is that the character
speaking erroneously is a priest.
I'm planning to address this in a review
on amazon.com, but it could take awhile.
After all, it is understandable that a non-Catholic
could be mistaken about Catholic doctrine.

Planned Parenthood Sued for Doing Abortion on Raped 13-Year-Old, Returning Her to Rapist

Planned Parenthood Sued for Doing Abortion on Raped 13-Year-Old, Returning Her to Rapist

 This is disgusting, but not really surprising. They don't care if a minor is being sexually abused.
Their business is KILLING THE UNBORN, not protecting victims.

Abortion Activist: “So What if Abortion Ends a Life? I’m Still for Abortion”

Abortion Activist: “So What if Abortion Ends a Life? I’m Still for Abortion”

What a sad attitude towards the lives of the innocent unborn.

Sunday Books Revisited

This is taken from an older post. New material is in blue.
On Sundays, (and that means from Evening Prayer 1 to Evening Prayer 2), I put aside whatever non-Catholic book or books I may be reading. On Sunday, I read only Catholic books.
The books can be fiction or non-fiction, but they absolutely MUST be something I'll want to carry into the next week. Dull, dry books are NOT welcome!
This may seem like a restriction, but it is actually an enhancement of the most beautiful, precious day of the week. And, as a bonus, I find that I enjoy the non-Catholic books all the more for having put them aside for a day.
I stopped doing this for awhile; that is, while there were some books I read ONLY on Sundays, I decided that any good, wholesome book was suitable for Sunday.   Now, however, I've decided to go back to reading ONLY Catholic books on Sundays.
I'd like to make it clear that I do not consider it a sin to read non-Catholic books on Sunday.  This is a matter of personal preference.
