Audio (MP3)Video – Face of Pro-Life #107: Eileen Haupt, Raising a Down Syndrome Child
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010
Ave Maria! Leticia Velasquez and Eileen Haupt, co-founders of Keep Infants with Down Syndrome discuss what it is like to raise a child with Down Syndrome and what it has added to their lives and to their families. The benefits they received include greater patience, close bonds with their special family members and a new appreciation of the common gifts of life like walking and talking and the many other hings that take a longer time for Downs children to learn. They also learn how much children with disabilities can overcome difficulties and become productive, functioning members of society and even bring special talents. Both mothers relate how much religious devotion their Down children have. Ave Maria! +++ |

Ave Maria! Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost – Mass: EF, Iustus Es Domine – Readings: +++ therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called: 2 With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity. 3 Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 One body and one Spirit: as you are called in one hope of your calling. 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism. 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.

On Patient Endurance
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010One Minute Meditation  Patient Endurance
We experience daily just how difficult it is to promote the kingdom of God in our personal lives by fulfilling his will in every respect. No one who has tried seriously to live each day in this way will say it is an easy task. It can only be done with the help of God’s grace. That grace is always given to us, but we must learn to recognize it in the people and circumstances presented to us by God’s providence, in the thoughts and inspirations that tug at our minds and our hearts.
We know that we do not always respond to God’s grace, for his grace always demands of us sacrifice, renunciation of self-will, effort, and an untiring spirit of dedication – and the practice of these things does not come easily to the young, or the tired adult, or the old. Yet that is what the kingdom of God is all about.
Knowing how little of grace is accepted and realized in our own personal lives, we can imagine how much of his grace is spurned or rejected by those around us. In this way we come to understand, too, why there yet exists so much evil, sin, violence, wars, hatred, immorality, persecution of religion, and denial even of God himself in the world today. These things must follow, so long as men refuse to accept God’s grace and do his will. The kingdom of God, reintroduced among men by the Incarnation of Christ who came to set us a most perfect example of a man totally dedicated in all things and at all times to the will of the Father – cannot and will not be established until all men live each day of their lives according to his example.
