Ave Maria Meditations
 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23) + The Culture of Death, that is what Venerable John Paul II called our modern society. We have an ever expanding culture and society that legalizes the taking of the lives of the unborn and is now gazing at where other populations can be reduced as well. The profitable and defended abortion industry provides a win-win for the demonic agenda against life. The life of the unborn child is taken immediately. But abortion (and the contraceptive hormone pill ) is linked to the development of cancers in the mothers later on. That physical life could potentially be taken as well. But the spiritual death of all involved is something we cannot guage. The death of souls.
+
The abortion industry is protected by law. Often uniformed officers are outside to guard the facility. It is like guarding Auschwitz. The killing is legal. The performing of the act by some who call themselves ‘medical professionals’ is a travesty. Their souls are at stake too. There are the multitudes who vote for ‘the woman’s right to choose’. To choose what? What to have for lunch? No, to choose to take the life of another, to stop a beating heart.
+
It all starts long before the appointment to see the abortionist. It starts with the society that encourages pre-marital sex and co-habitation. It starts with an ‘educational’ system that mandates ’sex education’ for children to the early loss of their innocence and the experimenting of sexual encounters. These things are so main stream and have been for so long that it seems the ‘norm’. This indoctrination into sinful habits brings dire consequences.
+
God is merciful. He knows so many people hardly know right from wrong, especially the young people. But the wages of sin is still death even when one perhaps cannot recognize sin. God is the Author of life! Sin can be repented of. While there is life, there is also the hope of eternal life. Jesus forgives. We pray for all those entangled in the Culture of Death, that they will come to know the mercy of God through true repentance; we pray for the conversion of hearts.

The stone for the tomb of the unborn babies’ bodies rescued from the Boulder Abortion Clinic–article posted at the end of the homily
St. Matthew’s Gospel (Mat. 2: 1-18) describes the events that took place in Bethlehem at the time of Christ’s birth and King Herod’s order that all male infants, two years old and younger, then living in and around Bethlehem be killed. He ordered this in an attempt to kill the new born King who he saw as a threat to his own power. The Book of Micah in the Bible predicted that the Messiah would come from Bethlehem: “But you, Bethlehem out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.” (Micah 5: 2) We call these Holy Innocents martyrs because (more…) |
Ave Maria! Pierluigi Molla is the son of Saint Gianna Molla who died in 1962 after giving birth to his little sister. St. Gianna developed a fibroma in her uterus during the second month of her pregnancy which required immediate surgery to save her, but since it would certainly terminate her pregnancy she put it off to save her child. Despite the best efforts of the doctors they could not save the heroic mother. Pierluigi came to Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine in La Crosse, WI to give a pro-life talk on the first anniversary of the opening of the Shrine. While he was there he graciously consented to an interview with Fr. Peter, the rector of the shrine, and shares his memories of his mother and his thoughts on what her life gave witness to. Ave Maria! |

And, finally, about his new non-profit organization Mantle of Guadalupe (Espanol) with which he goes on world missions to give help to the pour and is helping to build a hospital for pregnant mothers in a downtown LA Latino barrio. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! In Part 2 of 3 Eduardo answers questions about how he had to start his own film company in order to avoid playing degrading, immoral roles and the difficulties and obstacles on the road to success. He relates his involvement in promoting adoption, then how much actors in Hollywood struggle with immorality but how it is worth the struggle, and finally his status as a role model. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! In this third and last part Eduardo discusses how the movie Bella effected so many people, the audience, the actors, the film crew and also many pregnant mothers who changed there minds about aborting their babies. He also covers his views on the need for morality in art, on politics and his hopes to use his films to unite people and even to influence Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, whom he is planning on meeting. God Bless you Eduardo! Ave Maria! |

Ave Maria! In this episode, Corinn talks with regular guest Peter Wolfgang, head of the Family Institute of Connecticut, an organization designed to strengthen the family in Connecticut. Peter & Corinn discuss the history of the deterioration of marriage in the past 20 years in our country, and where we stand right now in this fight. Marriage is an institute that predates society &, in it’s natural form, benefits the individual & society. Thanks to contraception laws in the 60s & the no-fault divorce laws of the 70s, the sacredness of the marriage bond – which is a covenant before God – has eroded to the point of allowing unnatural, depraved unions to be called marriages in our western world. Peter explains the whole gamut of issues surrounding the crisis of marriage in his usual thoughtful, energetic, & engaging style. Ave Maria! |
