A higher calling for today...

Many of us live very stessful lives balancing work and family obligations...some of us are suffering financially with job loss at this point. However, we have a higher calling that can elevate us out of the miseries and distress of this temporal world.
Currently, our leaders in Washington, DC continue to attempt to push through 'healthcare' legislation that is in its essence, anti-life, even as a majority of the American people have rejected this.
Prayer is essential to the defeat of this diabolical legislation. Thus, take courage and contact your legislators--via email, or telephone call--and let them know of your opposition to this anti-life agenda.

A reflection for today.......Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother, "See him; he will be for the rise and fall of the multitudes of Israel. He shall stand as a sign of contradiction, while a sword will pierce your own soul. Then the secret thoughts of many may be brought to light." Luke, 2:34-35

As we oppose the anti-life agenda let us ponder these words, "There must be a deep unity among the works of charity on behalf of life...for at each of its stages and conditions, human life is sacred and inviolable, a gift that is indivisible." The Gospel of Life, 87

Finally, to follow Christ is to be essentially a sign of contradiction in a world that insidiously promotes a culture of death. Have courage, meditate and pray--this is our essential calling.
