I’ve never seen a bishop do that, except maybe for an illegal immigrant rally. But I agree that they should.

I pray that God will give us the wisdom that we seem not to possess and the ability to do His will. I fear for my country.

It has never been so clear as it is today, that the devil is working double-time to destroy everything in his path. He is strong and powerful, because Christ allows him to be. We, however, have a stronger opponent in Christ Jesus, BUT we need to call upon Him.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta wrote my husband years ago (link), and suggested he read Fr. John A. Hardon's work for answers regarding the Catholic Church. Since I take nothing Mother Teresa says lightly, I searched out Fr. Hardon, and in 1996 (he's since passed away), he had the answer to ending abortion, but 14 years later it still exists. Could it be that people in general do not listen to great Catholics (Blessed Mother Teresa is on her way to sainthood!) until their heads are literally in their laps?

My daughter told me when she was only 4 years old (she's 19 now), "If you listened harder to what Jesus is trying to tell you, you'd feel better." She has no recollection of saying those words. We have no doubts they came straight from heaven, through her, to me. I've been trying to "listen harder" ever since. Here's Father John A. Hardon on abortion:
"Let me repeat in the clearest words in my disposal. I would restate our thesis in two propositions. Proposition #1 There is no stopping abortion without an ocean of grace from Jesus Christ. No way will human means stop abortion. #2 The principle source of this grace is the Holy Eucharist." [emphasis; mine] Fr. Hardon also puts great emphasis on Reconciliation at the link ...
Pray to kill the bill/save the babies

Daily Mass is available at most parishes.

"This administration and its supporters are nothing but unscrupulous scum.

Dan 4:17
This matter [is] by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

Hmmmm....

Without doubt. It is a gift of the spirit, and known as "a word of wisdom." They just pop out of people's mouths when they are needed.

Mrs D these groups were started during the 60-70’s Womens lib, radical welfare rights groups. The Church took no action then and they have festered under the surface for decades. They NOW feel embolden to show their TRUE nature.

They never disdavowed abortion forcefully.

I just posted this earlier today to a different thread, but I think it is applicable here. While the dems spend their time on this health care takeover, they leave it to us to worry about employment for Americans in these troubled economic times.

Here's a prayer to Saint Joseph that my daughter gave me when I bought my own business a little while ago:

Prayer to St. Joseph for Employment

Dear Saint Joseph, you were yourself once faced with the with the responsibility of providing the necessities of life for Jesus and Mary. Look down with fatherly compassion upon me in my anxiety with my present inability to support my family.

Please help me find gainful employment very soon, so that this great burden of concern will be lifted from my heart and that I am soon able to provide for those whom God has entrusted to my care.

Help me to guard against discouragement, so that I may emerge from this trial spiritually enriched and with even greater blessings from God. Amen.

There is an ever present battle of good and evil. IMO, there is no fence straddling or leaning, you're one way or the other.

Every literate person has the ability to know right from wrong. Prayers won't help these people. Being judged by their maker, will.

You have to read this on Pelosi and her speech this morning. Beware, some rough language.

The nun who spoke with Cavuto today didn't know who Fr. Frank Pavone. I guess she hasn't seen EWTN or visited www.priestsforlife.com. If anyone knows who that nun was today, she needs to watch EWTN and visit priests4life because she's saying things in Jesus' name but it's ashame because Obama regretted voting to save Terri Schiavo and she trusts Obamacare to not cover abortions. Further, the nun today said 50 million would be covered, amen.

The Cavuto nun is uninformed imo.

The radicalized nuns likely haven't ever watched EWTN. I'm a Lutheran and I watch EWTN. EWTN's in Alabama with their news bureau in D.C.

Oh that goes without saying. They also managed to get the Habits removed.
So the NUNS could fit in with the groups.

People think groups like this are just an annoyance. Surprise.
EWTN is very calming, I love to watch it.
