Part 2: Anti-Abortion Movement Split Spills onto Presidential Race

Link to Story below:

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/groups/prolife_action/index.html

so what does this mean?
Well from a standpoint of choices and politics..
I think it necessary for Catholics and Pro Lifers alike to understand values.

Going back to our open topic of Sanger and IPPF, the values we talk about where in fact tainted on purpose, very strategically in order to create a new culture. Rich, Educated people that didn't want to loose the power and prestige.

Perhaps this sounds much like a Hollywood movie, but it all stands true nonetheless.
The Eugenics programs and Abortion programs were designed initially for the poor, later to the developing countries where education was becoming a major push. If these countries ever gained on the US elites, then we would see new leaders and new powers. The fact is for the past 90 years the abortion movement really has been an elitist group. Check their books and standings, the truth is in the facts.

So what can we do. what does this mean. The first thing is to be open to God's calling for each of us. There was a struggle in Will Wilberforce because he had wanted to seclude from society and only serve as a monk to God, but God had plans for him to go beyond that. So we must too, not hide and seclude ourselves from secular society.

Boycotting and hiding only make our power over the abortion group weaker.
Because we are no longer marketable, we are no longer buying and adding to the economy, we really become a true minority and aren't worth investing into.

And here's the second warning although pro life supporter numbers are going up, or should I say, pro choice numbers are going down, the definition on the street of what pro life is, is not the real values laid out by Jesus and Mary.

Contraception use is high, even among the "faithful", drug and alcohol abuse is still high, teenage pregnancies, premarital sex, masturbation, living out a homosexual lifestyle still high on lists.

Sex ed in classrooms still feature books like "its perfectly normal" a book that couldn't be more pornographic. Videos like blue dove and the last train still are shown in classrooms in developing nations. And 34% of IPPF funding comes from our tax dollars.

We must continue to not just defend, but to engage the culture of Life, it must be the norm, and not in a cafeteria style, choosing here and there, but in a very open, God-fearing and God-trusting way.

oh and here's a fun read for you, a big no brainer report: Keep the family alive:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/03/AR2007120301797.html

I'll continue again on a large idea that we can participate in. Meanwhile, continue your preparedness for our Savior Jesus Christ. The Holy Family is coming to down!

God Bless

NOVENA-OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE /PATRONESS OF THE PRO LIFE MOVEMENT

Our Lady of Guadalupe Novena


Our Lady of Guadalupe is the Patroness of the Pro-life Movement. In preparation for her Feastday, Priests for Life invites all believers to join in a special novena for life from December 3 through 12th by saying the prayer below, indicating to us that you will be saying it, and getting as many others as possible to say it as well.

The image of Our Lady, given to St. Juan Diego (whose feast is Dec. 9), shows Mary as pregnant with Jesus. The Aztec Indians, among whom this image circulated, practiced human sacrifice because they believed the gods were against them. This image proclaimed the Gospel that “God is with us” (Emmanuel) and that therefore we can have the hope that gives us the courage to say “Yes” to life, just like Mary did.

In our day, the image is helping to end child sacrifice as it is brought to abortion facilities worldwide.

Novena Prayer for Life to Our Lady of Guadalupe

Oh Mary, Mother of Jesus and Mother of Life,
We honor you as Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Thank you for pointing us to Jesus your Son,
The only Savior and hope of the world.

Renew our hope in him,
That we all may have the courage to say Yes to life,
And to defend those children in danger of abortion.

Give us your compassion
To reach out to those tempted to abort,
And to those suffering from a past abortion.

Lead us to the day when abortion
Will be a sad, past chapter in our history.

Keep us close to Jesus, the Life of the World,
Who is Lord forever and ever. Amen.

Part 1: Research on IPPF and Life

The following is a collection of research I have been conducting.

This link provides the leading 15 prolife (labeled as anti-choice in PP) organizations.

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/news-articles-press/politics-policy-issues/abortion-
access/antichoice-organizations-6127.htm

I was reading the other day on Margaret Sanger.
Boy, does her life story make me sad, a ilttle upset as well.
Anyways, her actiond started International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), she loved sexual intercourse. straight forward. She could have cared less about women's rights and family rights. She was interested in promoting hedonisitc values and concepts. Contraceptives and Abortion were products of her work, and she had a systmatic way implementing it. A method still in use today in mnay developing countries. In the next set of blogs I will continue to write on the life of Margaret Sanger and the work of IPPF. Not that any of this is new, actually, there is a autobiography that states her involvement in many things that Planned Parenthood has hidden from the public.

She also was a fond believer in Eugenics (Cleansing of the race), thats right, actually some of her books and publications were translated to German and used by German scientists during the second World War, I wouldn't be surprised if they influenced some concepts of the holocaust.

She was fiery for sure, and her influence seemed rather large.
But I leave you with this, if the above organizations know these things, how many are willing or able to develop a new culture in the world. Yes I am speaking of the culture of Life, but I am also speaking of a strong NGO to not just go against, not to just defend life, but to promote it, via media, books, publications, seminars, clinics, everything Sanger created, there can be a good version created as well.

If this interests you, perhaps you have recieved a similar calling. Comment on your thoughts and watch out for the continuation of this topic.

It is ok to work secular for the Kingdom of God, for to seperate oneself from society, only prevents us from knowing and changing the darkest of hearts. We are called to bring light to the world, even Jesus instructed us that a lamp should not be covered or put in a place low, but should be placed high upon the mountaintops for the whole world to see.

Are you willing to Expose and Explain then live as an example of Christ?

Love and Prayer to God

My God, because You are so good, I love You with all my heart
and for Your sake I love my neighbor as myself.
If I love You, Lord, it is not just because of heaven,
which You have promised;
if I fear to offend You, it is not because hell threatens me.
What draws me to You, O Lord, is Yourself alone; it is the sight of You
nailed to the cross for me, Your body bruised in the pains of death.
Your love so holds my heart that, if there were no heaven,
I would love You still. If there were no hell, I would even still fear
to offend You.
I do not need Your gifts to make me love You, for even
if I should have no help of hope at all
of all the things I do hope for, I would still love You
with that very same love.
Amen.

Saint Teresa of Avila

A thought on the struggles of Life

Do not be afraid
Worry not
for your name He has called
and the yoke you shall carry is light, let down your burden

go to HIM and HE will give u rest

then Go and make disciples of Men, Go and live in the light, Go and bring the hearts of many to the One who can unite them all. And if today you hear His voice, a voice in the wilderness, harden not your hearts,

but open your hands, your heart, your spirit...
Live a life that allows the invisible, the mystery of the eternal love of God be made visible through the life of your body, the life of your light

Amen

Filipino Americans demand for apology from ABC and Desperate Housewives Petition and a Loving Reaction

So here's an interesting one:

Filipino Americans demand for apology from ABC and Desperate Housewives Petition

amazing how these days, we try to live out as Christians, helping many.. but the laughing point comes down to a
sentance that a writer feels is worth the laughs.. and this coming from a company such as ABC, a child company of Disney that pushes Family Friendly viewing.

Just another intersting thing to talk about, and something to take to heart.
Our children hear everything, see everything and read everything..

The world is listening.. imagine what we could do if we only witnessed for the World the beauty of God's Love.

So in our reaction, let us try to show that Love right now, a major wrong has occured, but let us react in Love.. do not slander, just promote the love of God and the blessings and gifts He gives all of us Filipinos, in fact.. that he gives everyone.

Pray for ABC and Terri Hatcher and the writers, I hope they see it is more than just a mistake in a line, but a way of programming that has to change.

God Bless

PRAYER TO
SAINT MICHAEL
THE ARCHANGEL
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen..

The Holy Rosary

Excellent Catholic resources

Let us go out and make diciples of Men, let us pray, fast and witness for Christ, witness for Life.

What do families do? they love... :)

Jesus Freak and Living Single

I was asked today about what a person gets out of marriage verus livign single..
I walked away for awhile to think about it..

I returned with this though "there is a difference of living single and being single"

To live single means a life where you find happiness and dedication to our one God, it is much like that of taking a vocation of the Holy orders, meaning, to remain pure in your life and chaste so you can concentrate on serving God

But i dont think many of today's youth are thinkking about Single this way..
So what do you get in marriage?
The commitment, the vow provides happiness, a gift of Life and a reflection of our Lord's union with the Church, we are called and made for eachother, and thats that.

So as a single, do you live as a single or just be a single?
God's love for us calls us to purity, calls us to greater things, it calls us to Love others.

With todays world of instant gratification and happiness, no wonder so many cant see beyond the blinders of society to see real Love.

Once again, Love is the answer, and living single, although hard, and keeping pure, although hard is achieved from a love of God, and love for whoever God has ready for you.

An email I read this morning said dare to be different, even if society wants you otherwise. I agree.. be different Love Jesus with all your heart and soul, and let him work wonders in your life, to be Single is to be ready and armed and entrusting fully in Jesus our Lord.

I think being a freak for that is well worth it.

Believe and Live!
