Here's the English-translation from V.I.S. -Vatican Information Service.
MAR 18, 2005 (VIS) - In the Holy See Press Office this morning, Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, presented the Pope's Letter to Priests for Holy Thursday 2005. Also present at the press conference were Archbishop Csaba Ternyak and Msgr. Giovanni Carru, respectively secretary and under-secretary of the congregation. The eleven-page document, dated March 13, has been published in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Polish. Cardinal Castrillon affirmed that this year's Letter has a special resonance because it was signed in "a place marked by the Cross of Christ," Rome's Gemelli Hospital. "In the silence of his suffering," said the cardinal, "the Pope, with the example of a life given 'to the end', repeats the Pauline affirmation: 'we preach Christ crucified, ... the power of God and the wisdom of God,' loving all men with Christ's charity and completing in his own body what is lacking in the passion of the one Savior and Redeemer," these last words a reference to Colossians 1, 24. The cardinal went on: "From his own cross, the Pope indicates to each priest the unfathomable dignity, conferred upon him by ordination, of being able to pronounce, 'in persona Christi,' the words that instituted the Eucharistic mystery, and of receiving the capacity to transform his own priestly existence into a radical gift for the Church and for humanity." "Conformed to Christ, we priests are called by the Pope to transform ourselves into Eucharistic bread, giving thanks to God with our own lives, for the work of salvation achieved by His only begotten Son." The prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy indicated that the Holy Father "reminds us of 'the obedience of love,' that grateful obligation with which we have been entrusted, to give ourselves entirely to the People of God, an obligation that we assumed on the day of our priestly ordination and that finds expression, as an example for all the faithful, in following the authoritative discernment of bishops, imitating Christ Who at the last Supper entrusted Himself to the Church. What we are giving is our autonomy, even our legitimate autonomy, a giving against which modern culture rebels as it seeks self-realization in reason unfettered by any limitation." "Once more, in this year of the Eucharist, the Holy Father introduces us with love to the 'mysterium Paschae' which is the great mystery of faith. ... With the gentleness of faith, we are invited by the Pope to reverently safeguard the liturgical norms that not only protect the sacredness of the Rite but give it luster. We priests will accept his words in order to be custodians of the Eucharist, in a continuous vigil and in all corners of the earth, and on our knees before the Tabernacle we will place all our solitude." Cardinal Castrillon concluded by highlighting the fact that "despite the passing of the years, strengthened by the Pope's words, we will spread the youthfulness of God Who is in us and irradiate it to those we meet on our way. ... The Holy Father assures us that from priestly sanctity will grow new life for the Church, with vocations that will guarantee the ardor of new evangelization, nourished by the bread of eternal life."

Terri has saved a LIFE!
Almighty God, thank you so much for the life of Terri Schaivo. Already she has saved the life of at least one person who was going to be starved and dehydrated. The doctor was pushing the family to terminate his life. But, his dear sibling was already so mad about what Terri has been put through these many years, that this caring person absolutely stood his or her ground. The brother has now recovered. This person praises Terri for saving the brother's life. God, she is very unique and dear to us. She has exposed the evil at work in our world in this right to die movement. She is standing against that evil and so are we. Thank you, dear God, for giving us Terri. Please give her a good night's sleep and spare her life so that we may have her with us for many years. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Read this one! Unbelievable!
"The Senate has a narrowly focused bill that deals only with the planned abortion of Terri Schiavo, allowing her standing in federal court, which would immediately stay a Florida court's ruling which would allow Planned Parenthood's Boca Raton office to perform the controversial abortion procedure, now scheduled for March 18.
The House, however, passed a more broadly defined bill on Wednesday night. In it, "persons" — defined as "any born individual who is presently outside the womb and in at least the 50th trimester of life" — are given the right to take their case to federal court after the state court route has been exhausted. The House bill does not grant an automatic stay for Schiavo despite support from House leaders like the ultra-conservative Rep. Tom DeLay, the House Majority Leader.
But even with an agreement between the Senate and House, sources told The Jawa Report on Thursday that Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) has "dug in" against passage of the Senate bill by unanimous consent. He is a well-known pro-choice advocate and in a recent press statement said that,
"Michael Schiavo has a right to terminate his wife's life. His wife's body belongs to him. What he does with Terri's body is nobody elses business."
Wyden then added in a press-conference on the steps of Capital Hill,
"My personal view is that 132nd trimester abortions are wrong. However, I believe that such decisions are
best left to a couple and their doctor."Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay today (3-17-05 ) released the following statement: "It's unconscionable that Senate Democrats led by Senators Harry Reid and Ron Wyden would not allow a vote to move forward on critical legislation the House passed last night to save and protect Terri Schiavo's life. House Republicans knew we had a moral obligation to act and we did just that last night. As Terri Schiavo lays helpless in Florida, one day away from the unthinkable and unforgivable, the Senate Democrats refused to join Republicans to act on her behalf."
Everyone should contact Sen. Harry Reid (D. Nev.) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D.OR.)

I will not give up my peace on this either. NOR my HOPE OR FAITH! GOD IS BIGGER THAN MICHAEL!
Transcript: Michael Schiavo on 'Nightline'
(GET A PAIL OR GARBAGE CAN)
BURY: "Your wife's family and their supporters have been arguing in the most graphic terms that what you are going to allow happen on Friday, in their words, is in effect condemning your wife to a cruel death by starvation. I'd like you to address that charge from them."
SCHIAVO: "That's one of their soapboxes they've been on for a long time. Terry will not be starved to death. Her nutrition and
hydration will be taken away. This happens across this country every day. Death through removing somebody's nutrition is very painless. That has been brought to the courts many of times. Doctors have come in and testified. It is a very
painless procedure.Terry can't — she has no cortex left. She doesn't feel pain. She doesn't feel hunger. So what's going to happen is slowly — her potassium and her electrolytes will slowly diminish and she will drift off to a nice little sleep and eventually pass on to be with God."
This info from a friend (thank you!): Did you know that Michael Schiavo is a medical professional? That's right -- he's not a construction worker or a bank teller, he's a currently-licensed REGISTERED NURSE (Fla. license #9164785 exp. 4/30/05) and a REGISTERED RESPIRATORY THERAPIST (Fla. license #5965 exp. 5/31/05). This information was obtained from a Lexis-Nexis public records search. He, of all people, should know that Terri's death by starvation and dehydration will be excruciatingly painful.

Vatican Says Pope to Leave Hospital Today
Thank YOU and Praise YOU FATHER! Thank YOU and Praise YOU JESUS! Thank YOU and Praise YOU HOLY SPIRIT!

The question is finally raised-“Have we adopted a false sense of privacy by which we do not confront, discipline or visit with our spiritual children?” he asked. “Do we abandon our spiritual children by defining our call to the priesthood as a 9-to-5 profession, with an attitude of ‘Don't call me after hours?’”
I have a vocation as a wife and mother. A priest's vocation is well defined by his parish as he is the "father" of a parish family. I know that because of my vocation I am to accept ALL moments of "service"-walking the floor waiting for a teen to come home, attending to a sick child, preparing and feeding my family--this is MY vocation. I can not at a mere whim decide that I need a vacation nor can I decide that I shall not meet the needs of my family. I am ready 24 hours a day to take care of my family.
Many priests have succumb to this thinking. I pray that all priests will accept the graces and prayers that Catholics are offering around the country in churches and chapels before the Blessed Sacrament. That they will be refreshed and renewed by these prayers and sacrifice. We continue to pray and offer our support as always.
Archbishop Sheen, Terri, & the Francisan Friars-We need a Miracle
Franciscan Friars praying to Archbishop Sheen for miracle for Schiavo
Eternal Father, You alone grant us every blessing in Heaven and on earth, through the redemptive mission of Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ, and by the working of the Holy Spirit. If it be according to Your Will, glorify Your servant, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, by granting the favor I now request through his powerful intercession. Lord, grant that Terri Shiavo’s life be spared and grant her a healing that the world may know the value of every life.

Businessman Offers $1 Million to Keep Terri Schiavo Alive
I don't know if I pray that Michael takes the money or not because the thought of it is so horrendous. If he does take it -what does this say about him? something that we already knew?
Prayers of support and protection are needed for Father Nuno Serras Pereira a "Portuguese Catholic priest (who) will be launching a public campaign, with advertisements in the Portuguese press, where he will indicate his refusal to give communion to Catholics who use contraceptives, who seek the assistance of science to conceive a child or those who are in agreement with the country’s actual legislation on abortion."
Father Nuno Serras Pereira explains: “Being unable to enter into personal contact with all parties involved, I inform all Catholics who have advocated, contributed or promoted the death of innocent human beings will be informed of their incapacity to receive Holy Communion”.
