Ave Maria!
The pro-life movie October Baby is out now (for over a week) and I am finally getting around to blogging about it. (Thanks to all those who emailed me.) It is about a woman who survived an abortion attempt and was raised by her adopting parents and her journey to find her biological mother and to forgive after she learned the facts of her early life. It was produced by Samuel Goldwyn Co. a division of MGM and has received some favorable commments even from secular critics like this from LA Times Gary Goldstein:
Further, it has performed well at the boxoffice, coming in (more…) |
As we have blogged about here on AirMaria the HHS Mandate on Contraception is a serious impingement on religious liberty that affects everyone’s First Amendment rights. There will be a nation wide rally at 12 noon to 1pm on Friday March 23 to stand up for our rights and will take place at hundreds of locations around the country. God willing, the AirMaria team will be going to the one in Hartford where none other than Joe Scheidler will be speaking. You can listen to Raymond Arroyo speak with Professor Alvare about her open letter to Obama and Sebelius telling them they don’t speak for all women, and explain why the HHS Mandate is unconstitutional. PLEASE NOTE

Ave Maria Meditations
Almighty Father and Lord of life, You have entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding and protecting human life with the utmost care from the moment of conception to natural death (Gaudium et Spes No. 51). During this holy season of Lent, a time of both penance and great hope, stir in our hearts a greater love for you and for each other. During these 40 days of spiritual renewal, lead us (more…) |
Ave Maria! Fr. Thomas Ward of St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Binghamton, NY, expounds on the sacred truth of the Dignity of the Human Person. This Truth is under attack on all sides by the one who is the “Father of lies” and “Murderer from the beginning.” Father Ward explains how tolerance of lies and sin ultimately leads to the destruction of human life, and the loss of souls. He then exhorts us to respond with uncompromising truth, generous kindness, and universal charity, all of which must animate the merciful work of the Pro-Life movement. This sermon was given for the Annual Pro-Life Prayer Service organized by the Broome County Right to Life Committee. Ave Maria! +++ |

January 22nd marks the sad anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion across the United States. More than 50 million unborn children have perished since. This statue in Slovenia shows a bit of the anguish that many mothers come to know after their abortions. Let us pray that the truth of the value of all life, born and unborn, will be once again championed all over the world.
Eternal Father, Source of Life, open our hearts to see and desire the beauty of Your plan for life and love. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit so that our love will be generous and self-giving and we may be blessed with joy. Grant us great trust in Your mercy. Forgive us for not receiving your gift of life and heal us from the effects of the culture of death. Instill in us and in all people a sense of the sacredness of every human life. Inspire our efforts to protect and care for the most vulnerable, especially women who are pregnant and their unborn children, the sick and the elderly. Strengthen us in the hope that with You nothing is impossible. We ask this in the Name of Jesus who by His Cross makes all things new. Amen. From the Sisters of Life |
Ave Maria Meditations
The Child is born! The secret was shared first to humble shepherds who had been told the news by the light of glory of the Angels. They were the first to adore HIM: the shepherds coming to see the Good Shepherd in His newborn state. There had been difficulties and hardships before the birth, and at the time of the birth, and more to come after the birth. But The Child had been born and the world would never be the same. Every child is made in the image and likeness of God. For every child conceived, there is a plan. And every child, in some way, changes the world around them. Let us all do everything we can to give them the chance.
