Today is the Memorial of the marriage of St. Joseph and Mary...
Jesus, Mary, Joseph- we love you, pray for us! Happy wedding anniversary, too!
God have mercy...
Equality...We have passed the threshold into one of the most important weeks in American history, and a convergence of three very important celebrations reminds us of it. Monday we celebrate the remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King, who worked so heroically and tirelessly to insure that all men and women might share in the American dream equally. Tuesday we celebrate the inauguration of the first African American president, Barack Obama. That an African American can be so elected is indeed a cause to celebrate. However, thursday we pray and do penance on the anniversary of the most infamous court decision in United States history, Roe v. Wade. All three are related.
Dr. King fought long and hard and suffered many things that all men and women in the United States of America might enjoy those truths that we hold to be self evident: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He was an American hero for so doing. This week we should rightly celebrate the fact that an African American can be and has been elected President of the United States. This is surely progress, both political and moral.
This all being said, it has to plague the conscience of any thinking person that in this country there is yet the most immoral and deadly form of prejudice and persecution imaginable against the most innocent and vulnerable class of human beings—the unwanted unborn. No matter what advances this country makes, moral, economic, social, or technological, so long as that blight on our national identity remains, all else will ultimately pale into relative insignificance.
God is not a disinterested spectator in the affairs of man. He knows every child by name from all eternity. He loves each one with His infinite love. God’s holy Catholic Church teaches that abortion in a single case is homicide. I assert that if this is the case, and it is, then the 50,000,000 homicides through abortion that have taken place in the United States since Roe v. Wade constitute genocide. God will not favor such a country, regardless of any other progress. Unless this outrage against God and humanity is stopped very soon, the United States of America, and in turn all of the Western world, will realize the death wish that it has manifest for several decades.
Every Catholic, Christian, Jew, and all people of good will and right reason must pray and do penance rigorously and daily from now on for the defeat of this heinous evil we call abortion. If we fail, then Western society as we know it will soon collide with a disaster it will not survive.
May God have mercy on us.

From our own, Fr. Clifford Stevens, at Boys Town...
Rich and I went to Mass this morning at Boys Town. Fr. Clifford celebrated Mass and gave us a history lesson in slavery and how that was finally brought to an end, and now his work for an end to the war on the unborn. Abortion can and must be stopped. We talked to him after Mass and he told us he's going to Washington D.C. to speak on March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation, when our LORD was conceived in the sacred womb of Mary, Ever Virgin. He is fighting the "good fight," and is one of the few remaining who knew Fr. Flanagan. He is an author and a wonderful holy man, fighting for those in our world who cannot speak for themselves. He needs many good lawyers to assist him in this fight, so if you're a lawyer, please consider how you can help. Peace of Christ.

Her wrists were too small for the chains...
St Agnes, virgin and martyr
Pray for us!
~ Saint Ambrose
Pray for us!
"There was little or no room in that small body for a wound. Yet she shows no fear of the blood-stained hands of her executioners. She offers her whole body to be put to the sword by fierce soldiers. She is too young to know of death, yet is ready to face it. Draggedagainst her will to the altars, she stretches out her hands to the Lord int he midst of the flames, making the triumphant sign of Christ the victor on the altars of sacrilege. She puts her neck and hands in iron chains, but no chain can hold fast her tiny limbs."
"In the midst of tears, she sheds no tears herself. She stood still, she prayed, she offered her neck."
"You could see fear in the eyes of the executioner, as if he were the one condemned. His right hand trembled, his face grew pale as he saw the girl's peril, while she had no fear for herself. One victim, but a twin martyrdom, to modesty and religion; Agnes preserved her virginity and gained a martyr's crown."~ Saint Ambrose

On this day, when our new President takes the oath...
Our Lady of America, pray for us!
We pray for our new President, Mr. Obama. We pray for his conversion of heart and soul
We pray for him and those in his administration
To see the true horror that abortion is
That the "scales" will fall from their eyes
That all of our leaders will soon SEE
That the "freedom to choose" murder
Is not freedom at all,
but slavery.
Slavery to Sin is not being free.
Babies torn, limb from limb
Are not free to one day grow up and vote.
How ironic that the same ones who are
"pro-choice"
Are so intolerant of others who only want
To love those babies and give them homes
And a life with a family.
Pray for us, Holy Mary, Mother of God,
You who once carried the Creator of us all
In your womb
Who nursed the King of Kings at your breast
Who carried Him in your arms to be
Presented in the Temple
We are numbed and sickened that
You've also had to "mop the blood" of
the Holy Innocents at every abortuary in this country
And around the world.
A baby is never a punishment.
We pray for Mr. Obama to understand that.
For those who mock the Church for her stand
because the Day is coming when their eyes
Will be opened.
They will have to gaze into the eyes of every
Aborted child.
The Golden Eyes of God
Will then pierce their souls
And they will know as they've been known
We all will be known as we are known.
We pray for ourselves.
We pray for the unborn
We pray for Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness
(NOT pleasure)
To be granted to ALL
We pray that the war on the unborn
Will stop.
Pray for us, Holy Mother of our
Blessed country
That has forsaken her God...
Pray for us to return
To Him with our whole heart
We will hear your pleas, Holy Mother, to
Pray and fast for this President
And for our children
And for this lost and wicked generation.
We will humble ourselves and repent
We will turn to Him, our Maker
and Redeemer and pray for this
Our great nation
For our land to be healed of its
Sin-sick and sin-stained ways
Because one Day, every knee will bow
And every tongue will confess
And every tongue will confess
JESUS IS LORD!
Either with great joy and reverence
Or with horrific fear
and terrible trembling
And in the end,
We know this...
It's either heaven
or hell
that will welcome
each and every one of us
For eternity.
Eternal Joy
Eternal Pain
You, O Lord, have
Given us true 'freedom of choice'
The CHOICE is ours.
O Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners now
And at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Wedding Canopy...
Interesting to note: The Chuppah, a Jewish Wedding component, is basically a piece of cloth held up by four poles. Some people use a tallit prayer shawl for the Chuppah cloth. The Chuppah is open on all sides, which is reminiscient of the hospitality Abraham and Sarah showed guests in their open tent. The Chuppah is usually held outside, under the stars, just prior to sundown, as a reminder of the blessing given by God to Abraham, that his children will be as numerous "as the stars of the heavens."
So when we saw the crucifix (posted below) beneath the canopy, (which is kind of rare) my friend and I again had to pause, for we'd only just discussed this at breakfast yesterday, before going to Hebron.
A contemporary, yet conservative Jewish wedding I found on line. Jana & Daniel. If you'll notice the interesting comment, in the "Before the ceremony" paragraph. There's a reference to a "Catholic custom."

Behold, the Lamb of God...
We beheld Him...our breath taken
in a collective gasp
a reverent silence
surrounded us
permeating our souls
awed by the vision
stilled by the reality
We beheld Him
If I'm ok and you're ok, what's He doing up there?...
Crucifix at Sacred Heart Church, Hebron, NE.
about 2.5 hours west and south of Omaha.
My friend, Paula, and I went there yesterday. It was a spontaneous desire for a mini pilgrimage. Neither of us had been to this church before, but I've been reading many books where "Hebron" has "popped up."
This is kind of curious, too, that I was in Mr. Horab in Wisconsin last April, for a Life in the Spirit Seminar evening. Rich and I then happened to wind up in Tabor S.D. last Oct. and now Hebron. I've found out in recent reading that Hebron was where St. Elizabeth lived, when Mary went to visit her. What does it all mean? I've no clue...yet. With a penchant for history, (even moreso as a Catholic) I would like to know how these little towns and small cities decided on the community's name. Curious.
Anyway, when Paula and I arrived, the entry was so dark, we held open the large outter doors to peruse what was posted on the bulletin board. Of course MANY seminarians were to be seen (Lincoln NE diocese after all) and so when we closed the outter door and opened the door to the sanctuary, this is what we saw. It took our breath away. I have never seen a crucifix like this one. We made a visit for about 45 minutes, praying for our nation, and our own private intentions. Graces have come from this little pilgrimage.
My heart is burning to BE with Jesus. But my flesh is weak. I tarry at home, or go off to do other things, when He whispers "Come, come to me, come now and visit me." But I do believe yesterday, when I heard that whisper, "come" I could have done nothing else. I'd have possibly gone by myself, but I was glad to have my friend with me. I think she needed this time with Him there, too. In preparation for this TIME...this week, this inauguration of a man we really know so little about, that will affect generations to come, and whom at this point, seems to be against choosing FOR Life. (FOCA)
Jesus calls us to carry our cross daily, to be crucified with Him, and then, one day, to rise in glorious raiment. For our sins, he suffered and died. How can we think we won't ever have to suffer? How can we think America, the "land of the free" (NOT "Freedom of Choice!") Home of the Brave, (not cowards of appeasement with the enemy of our souls) that we will endure, if we believe we don't have to suffer? They hated Jesus. They will hate us, too. Are we prepared to 'hang on the cross' with Jesus? I need DAILY conversion. I pray to grow in holiness where faith and hope and love will be victorious and the fear and anxiety will decrease and be snuffed out. I pray to be always aware of even how damaging venial sins are.
I don't know about you, but I'm "not OK." I need a Savior! I AM a sinner who longs
to become at least a "little" 's' saint.
Another reply from 'atlasdoc2' to my You Tube comment...
So, then we agree, if killing is morally wrong, then killing is morally wrong. Right? No exceptions? Did you or do you support the actions of our government and military in Iraq? If so, how can you justify the killing of innocents (estimates are more than 100,000)? There is nowhere to run from 2,000 pound armor-piercing bombs either...How about death row? Do we have the "right" to put anyone to death? If you can somehow justify killing people in the above situations, then how the hell can you seriously fault a young mother, especially a victim of rape or even worse, incest for making the toughest decision of her life?Once again, all you can see are the symptoms of the problem, not the problem itself. For instance, the economy is the direct result of the failed policies of the current administration, brought about because people who may be just like you were scared and fooled into believing they needed to be protected from a boogie man. Well where is the boogie man now?
I've answered this but if any of you would like to "chime in" please feel free. atlasdoc2
I've prayed and will continue to pray for this person's extremely sadly, horribly misguided soul.
In another reply, I sent the reading today from 1st Corinthians.
The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
14
And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.
15
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!
17
But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.
18
Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body.
19
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own;
20
you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body
How is it, I asked of this person, that anyone can glorify God in their body if they aren't allowed one? If a babies body is ripped limb from limb while inside the mother's body, that seems to conflict this message. Also, how does that mother glorify her body by murdering the baby inside her womb? And then I asked this question: "Was Hitler right?" If he wasn't, why? For he did what was only "right" in his eyes. He had every "right" to his "freedom of choice." RIGHT? OR was it only "right" because it was just Jews and Catholics (and some Protestants) who were gassed and tortured to death?
So I would hope that some of you will take a moment and write this person. At least pray for him or her. This is the sorry state of affairs, and the dreadful mindset we've come to, by the horrific "relativism" that has been shoved down our collective throats for decades. Preached at our youth, no longer in higher education, but down to grade school for years in this culture of death. If, and "if" is sounding less "ify," If FOCA is signed by Mr. Obama on the 21st,in plain English - "We're toast."
The faithful must pray, do penance and pray pray pray! Pray the rosary! Pray for folks like this and write them while there's time. There is Divine Mercy for all NOW.............but mercy isn't mercy without JUSTICE. Don't tell me that Jesus can take seeing his babies, Mary's babies, being torn limb from limb inside the wombs of their mothers much longer. He's more patient than I would be, but then, I'm not God...thank God!. Let's LET GOD BE GOD and quit trying to be Him. Stop the insanity of believing women have the "right to choose!" Choose what???? Murder??
We are the 'creatures' and we can't make anything out of nothing. Only God can. Let us pray for Divine Mercy and hope that we remain faithful to the end of the persecution that is surely on its way. This is the SPIRITUAL WAR, going on since the beginning, and Satan is now in full gear, and his minions are duping people right and left (no political pun intended.) The blood of the innocents is crying out for Justice. The Right Arm of Justice will sweep across this land because Justice is never late. It will first sweep through the House of God and I pray to have the gift of 'final perseverence' to endure, and not "wimp out" when the persecution, of whatever kind, ensues.
St. Joseph, pray for us! St. Joseph, who guarded and protected Jesus and Mary, pray for these irresponsible fathers, boyfriends and husbands, of these women, so many just girls, who go to abort their own child by the thousands every single day. Pray for this horror to cease in our world. Mary mopped up the blood of the Most Innocent Man, her "baby Boy"... when he was scourged for our sins at the pillar. She's been mopping up the blood of Jesus at every abortion mill and from every single abortion everywhere for centuries and I do believe she is tired. She's weary. She's able to do so, being FULL of GRACE. But I don't know of too many husbands who could watch their wife mop blood day after day, seeing the tears on her face fall and mingle with that innocent blood. Mary's Spouse is the Holy Spirit. He is PURE LOVE. And LOVE covers a multitude of sins. Love never ends, but immorailty will.
Every house needs a house cleaning, and cleaning has begun. When a house is cleaned, part of the cleaning is to throw away what is no longer of use. Or what has been broken and no longer works and if it can't be repaired, it is cast into the garbage to be taken to the dump. Same goes for the House of God. Same goes for a refrigerator. Do you ever clean your refrigerator and throw away old moldy food? Or do you keep it and think it to be good? The same goes for a garden being pruned. Branches and trees, vines or other plants that do not produce are they not simply burned or made into compost?
Arrogance is not the way to God. When Americans raise a defiant fist, shake it at God and all that is Holy, and demand their RIGHTS and the EVIL "FREEDOM OF CHOICE ACT," then we best wake up and smell the sulphur! The stench of sin can only be endured for so long. I can't help but somehow feel, in my inmost heart of hearts, in my gut, that the "shoe is about to drop." The night is far spent. The DAY of Judgment is close at hand. Today, tomorrow, 10 years, 100 years...that's "close" to God who's not in "our time." However, we DON'T KNOW when that DAY will be for us. I could die today, or tomorrow, or in 10 years.
At that moment, I will have to give an account for my life, and I will NOT be able to Blame anyone for anything. The blame game will be OVER. Even BUSH can't be blamed for your bad choices or mine! That might come as a real shock to some of you, but believe it or not, God doesn't hate George Bush! He doesn't hate you and he doesn't hate me, but HE DOES HATE SIN! So, stop it. Get right with God. If you voted for Obama because he's "Pro Choice" and you're a Catholic, then please, look inside yourself, listen to God's warning now, and go to confession ASAP, because the CHURCH will be the first to be judged. God said so.
I've heard Omaha NE. is 60% Catholic. Our "Catholic community" and Douglas county went for Obama. Did we put the economy before Mary's babies? Before Jesus? That is a very scary thing to contemplate. Catholics who voted for Obama DEFIED the Church and her warning to CHOOSE LIFE. Who was just ignorant and who was actually defiant I have no idea. All I know is time is running out and for so many deliberate crimes, the Church and the earth will soon be shaken. Repent. Get to confession. God loves you. Love Him back, amend your life and CHOOSE LIFE.

Holding his Savior...
St. Joseph, the humble, obscure carpenter, from the scorned, obscure village of Nazareth, holds the One who created the dome of Heaven in his arms. How wondrous! How complete must have been his awe and amazement, the awareness of his divine mission spoken by the Angel, in a dream, to care for the Creator of all the universe! To teach his "apprentice" son how to turn the spoke of a wagon wheel, and hammer a hub, when this Very "apprentice" had spoken the heavens into existence, naming every single star!

A prayer worn and a prayer ascending...
This is a T-Shirt that some friends of mine designed. We are wearing these on the 20th, and gathering for soup/and prayer that night to pray for our country and our President-elect. I harbor no ill will toward Mr. Obama. My friends don't either. This is a PRAYER, not a quip or a racist remark, so any comments that some might want to write calling me or my friends racist will be read, but not posted. We aren't. I have black friends, and Mexican friends, and Chinese friends, and all kinds of friends. This is a prayer, "Come to your Mama" means just that. St Gerard and many Saints called our Blessed Mother, Mama, Most Holy. She is our Mama, and we ALL need her! We all need to "Come to her" every day and ask her intercession for our souls and our country. She loves us all. She loves Obama and his family. She wants us all to live in Peace and make peace with God through her Son, Jesus, who suffered and died on the cross for the salvation of all people, all races, all creeds. So, we pray,Hail Mary, Full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
