Air Maria

40 Days for Life returns this fall! At least 500 tiny humans were spared due to the prayer, fasting, and witness last year. What efforts could we not spare to get this beautiful work better known?

Even in the New American version (better in New Jerusalem), do you think that the plaintive cry of the psalmist urges on our pro-life/loving pursuit of truth, efforts? I invite you to read and pray it with me. Do you have a favorite pro-life psalm? Today is the (rather new-Post Vatican II) feast of Our Lady, Mother of the Church–our congregation’s patronal feast day. Let us invoke her for the Church.

Ave Maria!

Hello-Hola-Bonjour-Buon Giorno, etc. Do you believe that the U.S. can have a pro-life victory this year (or sooner) and spread the good news throughout the world, through pro-life media reform? I do. The Friars are working for this, too. How do I connect with them? The Franciscans of the Immaculate offer Holy Mass at our Motherhouse (www.sistersofcharity.com) and, as you can see, we still work together. I teach Spanish at our all girls’ high school (www.ahfbaltic.org); “direct” the drama–we will do the musical Oliver! this fall; and–joy of joys–moderate our pro-life club, which the students named T.O.P.-Life Club. They have posted wonderful highway billboards in Southeastern Connecticut in the pro-life fight and we now host Pro-Life Coffee Houses to help fund the billboards. (more…)
