Psalm 111
1 Praise the LORD!
I will praise the LORD with my whole heart,
In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.
2 The works of the LORD are great,
Studied by all who have pleasure in them.
3 His work is honorable and glorious,
And His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;
The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
6 He has declared to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations.
7 The works of His hands are verity and justice;
All His precepts are sure.
8 They stand fast forever and ever,
And are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He has sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever:
Holy and awesome is His name.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.
I must have missed it, but at what time does the graduation ceremony begin?
Thank you.
Welcome to Notre Shame and the Obamanation.
Hearing the President speak is one thing...ubt bestowing on him an honorary degree is honoring someone who stands in direct opposition to the most fundamental values of life and morality that the Catholic Church holds dear.
I hope and pray that many, many graduates do not attend, and that it is obvious. I also hope that large numbers of people who do attend, stand and turn their backs to Obama as he speaks.
This priest, and many others, understand the outragous nature of what is occurring on the ND campus today:
CATHOLIC PRIEST ARRESTED FOR UPHOLDING CATHOLIC DOICTRINE AT ND UNIVERSITY
We have an abject marxist ideolog in the White House, abetted by majorities of like minded anti-Americans in the House and Senate. God grant that we have the strength to blunt their plans and initiatives in 2010, and then to throw theem out in 2012.
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IN HIS OWN WORDS
NOW WE KNOW WHAT A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER DOES
OBAMA, THE STOCK MARKET, AND ENERGY
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S UPBRINGING
The funny thing is, Obama thinks this will be a net “positive’ for him.
He thinks once again he’s the brave Daniel entering
the lion’s den , and he’s going to stand up for the
‘progressive’ issue. The most recent polls indicate
that the American people have now swung for the first time,
more toward a pro-life position, than a pro-abortion position. Obama is too stupid to recognize that his cumulative package of social and economic remaking is responsible for this.I can’t wait to read the actual substance of his speech and see whether it’s merely
‘inspirational’, or whether he addresses the ‘accidental’
points of controversy which are what is now defining his
appearance. I am sure his speechwriters have been working for days on big bold and heartfelt ways to exploit the situation to his advantage. Enjoy your brief moment in the sun, Barry. It won’t be long before even your supporters come to think of you as a BAD IDEA. (”That’s not the Barack I knew”)
pro-life bump
bookmarked for later
But I know my hope is misplaced.
I bet you would see a bishop or two show up at an pro-criminal alien “immigration” protest.
Am I getting jaded and callous? Probably. I expect Church leaders to lead. I don't want to hear any more diplomatic talk from Bishops. I have seen too many “Pay, Pray, and Obey” Bishops and Priests. I thought as part of their vocation they were to fore go the comforts of this world for the sake of the souls of their flock.
Besides, why is is so risky for them to stand on a side walk and denounce what ND is doing? 80 or 90 Bishops writing a letter is OK but still a weak gesture. And where are the rest of them?
A pointed question to each of those Bishops: Why won't you sign and denounce ND?
Offer at Mass ping.

What IS a “CBR plane”??
EVERYONE,
Be sure to watch the arrest yesterday of a Catholic priest at Notre Dame.
Fr. Weslin as he is being arrested at Notre Dame asks why would Notre Dame arrest a Catholic priest for protesting the killing of babies?
Be sure to pass it on to your friends:

Bishop Edward U. Kmiec, bishop of Buffalo, has declined comment on the Notre Dame scandal. Why is the shepherd hiding? His obligation to the Magisterium requires that he interpret the truths of the Faith to the flock. A great evil is in progress and His Lordship avoids confronting the wolf.
Found this in a church bulletin link. The pastor who wrote it used to stand in front of a local abortion clinic praying. The clinic is no longer there:
