Hannity Lessons Learned -

AWESOME! Fr. is using this technology to teach...video emails! Whoa! Go Fr. 'E'!

This is his 'net' into the deep - Education on Contraception:

To aid this effort, in the next few weeks I will send out a series of brief video email presentations on certain aspects of the contraception issue in order to give you some tools to help others understand the issue more clearly. Send them to family and friends just to get the message out more widely. Below I attach the upcoming schedule, and I look forward to assisting you in the evangelization of our whole society:

March 30: Does birth control really prevent abortion? (video email)

April 5: Holy Thursday—the Gift of the Priesthood (regular written Spirit and Life format)

April 13: NFP: Is this Catholic birth control? (video email)

A busy week...in the U.S.

And while South Carolina was passing their ban...New Hampshire, the House Judiciary Committee recommended the passage of civil unions Thursday...

The New RFID Passport
Unbelievable! Look at what it says inside! It quotes Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson...

"For this is what America is all about.

It is the uncrossed desert and the unclimbed ridge.

It is the star that is not reached and the harvest sleeping in the unplowed ground.

Is our world gone? We say "Farewell."

Is a new world coming?

We welcome it - and we will bend it to the hopes of man."

Lyndon B. Johnson

This is NOT GOOD! GOD HELP US!

More issues in the 'accepting' denominations

Today...
Episcopal-Anglican rift deepens - U.S. bishops say no to a key demand

The Episcopal Church moved closer Wednesday to a showdown with the worldwide Anglican Communion, even as the church's bishops emphasized their desire to remain within that body.

The bishops ended a crucial meeting near Houston with a news conference and a letter in which they rejected a call from Anglican leaders to allow dissident conservative congregations in the United States to be overseen by a separate body that could include leaders from outside the country.

And I take issue with this term...'dissident conservative congregations'....PLEEEEZZZE!

Again, won't this put a 'crimp' in discussions-'dialog'? Episcopal ecumenists hopeful about Catholic-Anglican future (Fri. 3-17-07)

Yesterday...
Episcopalians brace for possible church split

Episcopalians across the country reacted today to news that Episcopal bishops appeared to be taking steps toward rejecting several demands made by top Anglicans of the American church, steps that could push the two bodies toward a formal split.

The bishops were to hold a 1:30 p.m.(3-21-07) PDT news conference today to explain Tuesday's decision to refuse a demand by Anglican leaders that they provide a special vicar for orthodox congregations and dioceses that oppose the Episcopal Church's positions on issues of homosexuality and biblical teaching.

The Episcopal Church is the American branch of the worldwide Anglican Communion, the world's third-largest Christian denomination with 77 million members.

Sweden set to legalize gay marriages

Nations that have legalized gay marriages:

1. Belgium
2. Canada
3. The Netherlands
4. Spain
5. South Africa
6. Is Sweden next?
7. ?

Sweden's predominant Lutheran Church said last week it would be willing to marry gay couples in church if the law is changed, but that the ceremony would be given a different name than wedding.

Won't this put a 'crimp' in our discussions-our 'dialog'?

Annunication Novena Day 7- The Conversion of Souls

Archangel Gabriel go ahead of our prayer this day to open, minds, ears, hearts, and souls to hear the love of FATHER GOD. O, Holy Spirit enlighten them so that they will be receptive to this grace and enable them to accept, internalize and utilize this grace to do the FATHER'S WILL in all things at all times. We ask all this in the Name of JESUS CHRIST, by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT and by the will of GOD THE FATHER.

Annunciation Novena for the Conversion of souls

I greet you, Ever-blessed Virgin, Mother of God, Throne of Grace, miracle of Almighty Power! I greet you, Sanctuary of the Most Holy Trinity and Queen of the Universe, Mother of Mercy and refuge of sinners! Most loving Mother, attracted by your beauty and sweetness, and by your tender compassion, I confidently turn to you, miserable as I am, and beg of you to obtain for me from your dear Son the favor I request in this novena:

(mention your request).

Obtain for me also, Queen of heaven, the most lively contrition for my many sins and the grace to imitate closely those virtues which you practiced so faithfully, especially humility, purity and obedience. Above all, I beg you to be my Mother and Protectress, to receive me into the number of your devoted children, and to guide me from your high throne of glory. Do not reject my petitions, Mother of Mercy! Have pity on me, and do not abandon me during life or at the moment of my death. Amen.

HAIL MARY

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and in the hour of our death. Amen

HLI - Contraception the Love Killer

This is an article written by John Mallon. I so recommend this article and request that you pray before you read it. Please ask the intercession of Archangel Gabriel and the Holy Spirit to go ahead of all to open minds, hearts, and souls so that all will be receptive to the grace waiting to be bestowed upon all through this article and pray that all accept it, internalize it, and utilize it to do the FATHER'S Will in all things and at all times.

This touched me deeply:

Little girls do not grow up dreaming of hopping from bed to bed and contraception, they dream of a man who will sweep them off their feet, love them forever and having his many children. A cynicism born of the sexual revolution has brought emptiness to the hearts, wombs and lives of far too many modern women. This emptiness and pain can be avoided or redeemed and healed by the love of Christ and adherence to His teachings. The Catholic Church believes in such dreams because God wrote them on the human heart. And there are men who long for such a woman to love and cherish.

Real lovers want to give without reserve in God’s own superabundance creating more hearts and lives to love. Contraception is like kissing through a screen door and real love cannot tolerate obstacles. Contraception breeds selfishness and separation that drives a wedge between husband and wife that kills love. Real lovers want their love to explode into the posterity of future generations for all of eternity. This is the kind of passion and fulfillment God wants for His children. Contraception limits what should be boundless. It spits in the face of this glorious passion and love’s true abandon; and that is why it is a sin. It seeks to “tame” love, thus killing it. The Catholic Church is the last bastion on earth of true romance. The modern world has suffocated love and made sex a thing of deadness.

Also, men have been programmed and brainwashed with the notion that they can't/shouldn't have children or many children. They think their masculinity is on the line for they fear that they will not be able to provide for more children. They look at numbers and not at the blessings! There are a number of other reasons men contracept: 1. they believe that children are a hindrance to acquiring material goods 2. they don't believe that they have a role in pro-creation--that the woman does everything and 3. they don't want responsibility...you can fill in the rest of the list...the outcome is always--Leaving GOD out!

Can a nun run for public office?

Nun Seeks Borough Council Seat in Pa. --A Sister of Mercy....hmmm!!!

Wemm, 66, a Sister of Mercy, said she sought permission from her order and from the Almighty to run for the office.

"He says, 'This is your decision. I'm with you and holding you in the palm of my hand,'" Wemm said.

[snip]

If she wins, Wemm wouldn't be the first nun to serve in an Allegheny County municipality. Sister Mary Gregory Schessler of the Sisters of St. Francis is a Millvale council member.

Roll Tide...Roll...that is the Pro-Life Tide too!

Researcher says pro-life efforts paying dividends

A social scientist at the University of Alabama says pro-life laws at the state level are effectively reducing the number of abortions nationwide among both teens and adults. But his research into the effectiveness of such legislation, he contends, has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media.

Never! Nope- not me!

Glass-bottom deck to open 4,000 feet above the Grand Canyon floor

Visitors who have marveled at the Grand Canyon's vistas will now have a dizzying new option: a glass-bottom observation deck allowing them to gaze into the chasm beneath their feet.

If man was meant to look at this view GOD would have provided us with wings. HE didn't so why should this be a great thing to do?

I think this would be what purgatory is....the fear of falling into *#!!

13 More Diabetics 'Chipped'

13 Diabetics Implanted with VeriMed RFID Microchip at Boston Diabetes EXPO

At the Boston Diabetes EXPO, physicians implanted VeriMed RFID microchips in conference attendees who signed up for the voluntary procedure. The VeriMed Patient Identification System, which utilizes an implantable RFID microchip in combination with a handheld RFID scanner and a secure patient database, provides immediate access to important identification and health information for patients who arrive at an emergency department unable to communicate.

Why would you voluntarily do this?

New Book Introduced on End of Life Issues

Book on End of Life issues presented at San Antonio symposium

"A Will to Live: Clear Answers on End of Life Issues" is the second book in a series of recently launched by Basilica Press entitled "The Shepherd’s Voice," a collection of books written by Bishops in a question and answer format, addressing key controversial issues of pressing interest for today’s Catholic.

The first book of the collection was "Catholics in the Public Square," by Bishop James Olmsted from Phoenix.

Archbishop Gomez said he began considering writing this latest book in the year 2000 when his mother died after suffering from Alzheimer’s disease for almost a decade. He said the memories of his mother's passing were awakened when the world "witnessed with horror the death of Terri Schindler-Schiavo. This tragic event aroused a wave of doubt in many Catholics regarding the meaning of life and death, about our final hours, about what dignified death really is and what it is not.”

Toledo cardinal denounces blasphemous and pornographic catalogue as crime against Spain

Our Lady of Fatima pray for US!

The Archbishop of Toledo, Cardinal Antonio Cañizares, said this week a government-sponsored pornographic and blasphemous catalogue that insults the Virgin Mary and Jesus is a “crime” that is helping to” undermine and destroy” Spain.

JPII & Al Qaeda

That day in Manila when Al Qaeda wanted to kill the Pope

It was a banal incident, a fire in an apartment, a fire in an apartment that caused Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’ s plans. Blueprints for the assassination of John Paul II were found alongside plans to blow up American planes mid flight.

[snip]

But at the time the episode had little effect on the Popes visit to Manila. On the 15th, a day of splendid sunshine, the John Paul II celebrated World Youth Day, before one of the biggest crowds ever to attend a public event: 4 perhaps 5 million people. No one has ever been able to calculate the exact numbers of people who gathered together in prayer and celebration.
