Pfleger to move out of rectory

"For now, Pfleger is not going to spend another night at the rectory. He hopes to be staying in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood, where he has had a role in transforming it in the last 30 years."

More St. Sabina

Why does church need Pfleger fill-in?
"Maybe they thought we need a priest to come in for mass. I don't know," she continued. "But we always have someone to do the mass. . . . We can have masses in the absence of a priest, just using consecrated hosts. We were trained to do that at CTU."

And do they all meet their Sunday obligation under these conditions? or does this occur only during the weekday Mass?

Please Cardinal George...please!


And as Fr. Charles Becker (Archdiocese of Chicago) stated this a.m. at Mass on EWTN - we should all pray and fast! (Fast -Wed. & Fri.)

Feast of the Visitation & Immaculate Heart of Mary

Fr. Mark: Tantum Portasti Gaudii






Magnificat
My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.
And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

More on MN- SJA - "Heart of the Beast Theater" - HoBT

Some readers have asked whether this is truly a MASS...you'll find here a Chronology of events leading up to the participation of HoBT puppets in the 'liturgy'.

"In fact, the program actually didn’t end with Palm Sunday. Jesus (the HoBT puppet) returned on Easter Sunday and lead the animals (also HoBT puppets) in procession around the church as we all sang "Lord of the Dance"."

[snip]

"Rehearsal day has arrived. All the HoBT puppets are here for us to see and enjoy. It is a time for everyone to become familiar with them so that no small ones are afraid. We ran through our entire liturgy so that everyone is comfortable. The children are divided into three groups with a leader and they will follow one of the Disciples. It is a fun afternoon. We are ready and excited for Palm Sunday."

"Palm Sunday is finally here. We are so prepared to participate in the liturgy."

[snip]

"Easter Sunday Mass: The rest of the Mass centered on Farmer Rick Klehr and his baby animals. We celebrated a New Life. It was a befitting end of our Lenten journey. What a glorious season."

Orate Fratres still has the post...but because this is so horrific and scandalous to the mind and soul many can not fathom the severity of this situation.

More Sen. Ted Kennedy - from Fr. Euteneuer - "Spirit & Life"®

Spirit & Life®
"The words I spoke to you are spirit and life." (Jn 6:63)Human Life International

e-NewsletterVolume 03, Number 21 Friday, May 23, 2008

The "Last Lion" of Abortion

Sen. John McCain responded to the news of Sen. Edward Kennedy's brain tumor saying that Ted Kennedy was the "last lion of the Senate." Nice words, but hollow. Clearly Kennedy has been a forty-year force to reckon with in the US Senate, but lionizing him for his headstrong political partisanship over four decades is a little like saying that sticking around for a long time and being opinionated qualifies as a "legacy." That very record of anti-life advocacy is the measure by which his soul will be judged.

While I pray for Sen. Kennedy's recovery from a brain tumor, I pray more for his recovery from the cancerous metastasis of abortion ideology in his soul. Ironically, in the same years in which abortion has become less and less acceptable to the American public, it has become more and more of an obsession for Sen. Kennedy. Prior to Roe v. Wade, Sen. Kennedy had actually held a pro-life view of the sanctity of life. In a letter to a constituent he said, "While the deep concern of a woman bearing an unwanted child merits consideration and sympathy, it is my personal feeling that the legalization of abortion on demand is not in accordance with the value which our civilization places on human life. Wanted or unwanted, I believe that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized - the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grow old." (See http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=31615)

However, post-Roe, Kennedy's record of recognizing the "value which our civilization places on life" has been, shall we say, less than stellar. In fact, he has a 0% record of voting in favor of life, and there is not one life-related issue in which his vote reflects a concern for the weakest members of our society, let alone the concern that his supposed Catholic faith places on them. Senator Kennedy
Is rated 100% by NARAL for his pro-choice voting record.
Voted NO on banning human cloning.
Voted NO on banning partial birth abortions.
Voted NO on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.
Voted NO on criminal penalties for harming an unborn child during the commission of another crime.
Voted NO on maintaining the ban on military base abortions.
Voted YES on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines.
Voted YES on $100 million to "reduce teen pregnancy" by hedonistic sex education programs and contraceptives.

Is a sponsor of pending radical legislation in the Senate to promote special protections for homosexuals in the workplace.
(See http://www.ontheissues.org/Social/Ted_Kennedy_Abortion.htm)

In other words, Kennedy has spent the better part of his long political career promoting the forces that kill and maim and destroy all the things that we hold sacred. What a shocking example of public service for a man who purports to call himself Catholic.

A month to the day after illicitly receiving Communion at the Mass of the Vicar of Christ in our nation's capital, Sen. Kennedy seems to have been given a real wake up call. When all moral voices go unheeded, the prospect of death tends to focus the mind on the truth. Let us all pray for his conversion from a career of abortion advocacy, for his enlightenment and for a peaceful death, something denied to all aborted babies in this country.

Sen. Kennedy's voting record on the life issues
Sen. Kenney used to be pro-life
Sincerely Yours in Christ,

VeriChip News

I'm sure they're not gone for good...just yet....

VeriChip never attracted the patients or revenues to match the attention it gained after announcing human-injectable RFID technology. The company has been a lightning rod for criticism by RFID opponents and privacy advocates. VeriChip cited privacy concerns and negative media coverage as risks to the business in its 2007 10-K report. It also acknowledged that people may not be willing to be implanted and that physicians may be reluctant to recommend the procedure. The document warned that the VeriMed system may not gain enough acceptance to continue as a business, an analysis that may soon prove true.

Who knows what will happen next.....but for now - we THANK YOU GOD!

The Sisters of St. Francis say they sold the property to the group because they wanted to make sure the land continued to be used for "peace and harmony." They did not want to see the church razed for housing.

VeriChip Markets Its Implantable RFID Tags and Services Direct to Consumers
Cost: $149, a consumer can have a passive 134 kHz RFID chip implanted in your arm.
"According to Scott Silverman, CEO and chairman of VeriChip, the company changed the name of its system from VeriMed to Health Link because the new moniker is expected to have a wider appeal for consumers."
Participating: 900 East Coast hospitals have set up the program-of the 900 only 200 have completed training. There are 600 people in the US with the implanted chip. "However, the company expects that number to rise as hospital employees gradually make it a standard practice to scan the arms of unresponsive patients being admitted to an emergency room in order to access their identity and medical records immediately." The company is running ads and hopes to have a 1000 "new participants"...I hope not...Silverman says..."If, three months from now, nobody gets the chip, we will have to look at our business model."
YES- SCRAP IT! BLESSED MOTHER TAKE OVER!
