My Pro-Life Life

This is a very pro-life concept. These people are people , and are treated here with dignity. From  openculture.com : If you've ever been to Japan, you'll know that in Japanese restaurants, mistakes are not made. And on the off chance that a mistake is made, even a trivial one, the lengths that proprietors will go to make things right with their customers must, in the eyes of a Westerner, be seen to be believed. But as its name suggests, the Tokyo pop-up Restaurant of Mistaken Orders does things a bit differently. "You might think it's crazy. A restaurant that can't even get your order right," says its English introduction page. "All of our servers are people living with dementia. They may, or may not, get your order right." Un-Japanese though that concept may seem at first, it actually reflects realities of Japanese society in the 21st century: Japan has an aging population with an already high proportion of elderly people, and that puts ...

"Thus saith the Lord: A voice was heard on high of lamentation, of mourning, and weeping, of Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted for them, because they are not."        -- Jeremiah 31:15  From Marian Helper , Summer 2019, p. 36: Upon the passage of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion throughout the country, the Marian Fathers had this to say in our Summer 1973 issue of  the Marian Helpers Bulletin. America,  You Are Not  Free! "Your children within you ..." St. Luke, Ch. 19, v, 43       Newsweek, October 5, 1970, carried an article on "Abortion in New York", and in the statistics of the article were the following:          Operations................................................................................................................................ 20,000      Deaths....................................

La Visitation  by Philippe de Champaigne From a pamphlet published (with a Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur) by Youth for Life, an Austrian organization: First day: For the recognition of man in the image of God God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Gen. 1:27) Let us pray. Eternal Father, You have created man in Your own image and breathed into him an immortal soul. You Son has offered up His life for the salvation of each on of us. Grant that the world may recognize that You are the origin and ground of human dignity. For Your sake, may they come to love, honor and protect the life of every human being -- from the first moment of their conception until their natural death. We ask this in the name of Christ, our Lord. Amen. Second day: For the recognition of the family as the basic unit of society And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. (Luke 2:17) L...

From Fr. John Zulsdorf ( wdtprs.com/blog ): I have written about the breath-taking, throat-choking, eye-blurring composition of Philip Stopford, “Lully, Lulla, Lullay”. This is the “Conventry Carol” about the Holy Innocents, a carol in some ways so heart-piercing that it seems out of step with Christmastide, except that the joyous season embraces also Childermas, and that the wood of the crib foretells the wood of the Cross. The words of this  lullaby of perfect pain  are: Lully, lullay, Thou little tiny Child, Bye, bye, lully, lullay. Lullay, thou little tiny Child, Bye, bye, lully, lullay. O sisters too, how may we do, For to preserve this day This poor youngling for whom we do sing Bye, bye, lully, lullay. Herod, the king, in his raging, Charged he hath this day His men of might, in his owne sight, All young children to slay. That woe is me, poor Child for Thee! And ever mourn and sigh, For thy parting neither say nor sing, Bye, bye, lully...

I sent the following letter to the Governor of Tennessee: Dear Governor Lee, I recently read in our local newspaper that you “support a push to ban abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected.” As someone who is actively pro-life, I would like to thank you for taking such a stance. It is very encouraging to know that there are government leaders who are willing to defend life. I will pray that the heartbeat bill passes, and I have had a Mass said for your intentions. This was his reply: Thank you for contacting me regarding your concern about the sanctity of life. Listening to and learning from Tennesseans is very important to me, and I am dedicated to a better understanding of your concerns. I am committed to being a pro-life governor, believing that life begins at conception and every human life is sacred. One of the most important responsibilities of government is to protect the God-given human dignity of every life at every stage. As governor, I am committed to w...

      This sermon was delivered by Fr. Kevin Drew of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph for the 5th Sunday of Ordinary Time, February 10th, 2019.      Are you a doctor? You said a “doctor!”      That was a very distraught Steve McQueen in the 1963 movie Love with the Proper Stranger . McQueen had just arranged for his female acquaintance, the young Natalie Wood (whom he had impregnated) to have an abortion.      McQueen and Wood had been duped. They paid money and were told to go to an empty office building in Manhattan where they would meet a doctor. But when they entered the cold and empty office, McQueen sensed they had been played. He asked the stern looking woman, “Are you a doctor? You said a ‘doctor!” And the woman, not a doctor, just looked at him and said, “Take it or leave it.”      When McQueen told Wood they were getting out of there, she caught a glimpse of the abortionist’s tools on a...

The sermon begins at about 29:00. https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=vnC-YtQpbk4
