“Dear children! Nature is awakening and on the trees the first buds are seen which will bring most beautiful flowers and fruit. I desire that you also, little children, work on your conversion and that you be those who witness with their life, so that your example may be a sign and an incentive for conversion to others. I am with you and before my Son Jesus I intercede for your conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Changes to the Mass Words
There are a few changes that will take place this coming Advent Season -

Explanation of the changes can be found here.
Or you can watch the following videos from Loyola Press.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that You will make all things right If I surrender to Your Will; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen Reinhold Niebuhr

Pro-Life Advocate Dr. Bernard N. Nathanson Dies
Dr. Bernard N. Nathanson died on Monday, February 21, 2011.
Dr. Bernard Nathanson may God give you Peace. Your conversion and commitment to saving babies, makes you so much like St. Paul. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him..May his soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace. Amen.
"Dr. Bernard N. Nathanson, a campaigner for abortion rights who, after experiencing a change of heart in the 1970s became a prominent opponent of abortion and the on-screen narrator of the anti-abortion film “The Silent Scream,” died on Monday at his home in Manhattan. He was 84." Part of an article from The New York Times
(The following was part of an email from the National Right to Life.) In the early 1970s Dr. Nathanson was director of the largest abortion facility in the world, New York City's Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health. He wrote that he was “personally responsible” for 75,000 abortions, and performed about 5,000 abortions.
In his 1979 book, “Aborting America,” Dr. Nathanson gave an insider’s account of the creation of what was then called the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws (NARAL), since rebranded as Naral Pro-Choice America. In that classic Dr. Nathanson explained how he and others cynically fabricated and exaggerated statistics about the number of abortions and the number of deaths from illegal abortions at the same time they consciously adopted a strategy of systematically vilifying the Catholic Church hierarchy.
As a fellow New Yorker, Jeanne Head, NRLC Vice President for International Affairs and United Nations Representative, knew Dr. Nathanson first as a foe and then as a friend. “Dr. Nathanson was probably one of the individuals most responsible for Roe v. Wade and, once he realized his error, he dedicated the rest of his life to reversing it,”Head said. She explained that she heard about “Aborting America" when it was in galley form and may have been the first pro-lifer to speak to him after he had finished co-writing the book with Richard Ostling.
In 1984 Dr. Nathanson unveiled “The Silent Scream,” a mesmerizingly powerful video which shows sonogram images of an unborn child frantically trying to avoid the abortionist’s instruments. Former New Hampshire Sen. Gordon Humphrey, told Time Magazine at the time that the film represented “A high technology Uncle Tom's Cabin, arousing public opinion just as Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 antislavery novel ignited the abolitionist movement.”
Head added, “It would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of his book, “The Silent Scream,” and his later video, “Eclipse of Reason” in driving home the sheer horror and brutality of abortion.”
For many years Dr. Nathanson described himself as a Jewish atheist, but in 1996 Nathanson was baptized a Catholic by Cardinal John O’Connor
I have posted these video's for you to view - please know that Dr. Nathanson made these with the hopes that every woman that entered a clinic for an abortion would be shown these.
They are very graphic and should not be viewed by young children.
Dear God, Forgive us for allowing these things to happen to our fellow human beings and give us the strength to keep fighting to stop abortions. Amen.

The White Picket Fence
When I was a little girl growing up in a family that had many problems, including mental illness, all I ever wanted was to meet a prince and be taken to a home with a "white picket fence".
For me the picket fence represented everything that my parents didn't have. Someone to share love with. Someone to do things with. Someone that would always be there and someone to raise a family with. Some one that could provide for us too.
My mother and father had love, I can see that now because they are still together long after 50 years. Because of my fathers mental illness, he never wanted to do anything with mom or us kids. When I was a little girl I begged mom to divorce dad so that she could marry someone that would take care of us and her. I know that was wrong now, but as a child - you look for any way out of a bad situation that you can find. To me, my mother is a saint for taking care of him all these years. That takes great strength and courage.
And of course that someone that could provide. My dad only worked when he wanted to and never worked after his low to mid forties ~ at least he quit drinking around that age too. My mom supported us the best she could. Us kids all worked, all in all it taught us to be who we are today. Unfortunately our younger brother, the baby, acquired the mental illness with a vengeance and has been institutionalized since his mid thirties ~ but that is another story.
Getting back to the white picket fence. My husband and I celebrated out thirtieth wedding anniversary last week. I look back at how blessed I am to have him and know that he is my "white picket fence". He came and rescued me when I needed it and we have been rescuing each other ever since. He is a wonderful father, loving husband and a provider that goes beyond the call of duty.
Now don't get me wrong, we have had numerous financial difficulties, but God always provides at the right time and we get by.
For every door that closes, another door opens. We are starting over again - I don't even want to count how many times we have had to do that, but we are doing it together!
We have been blessed with a large family that continues to grow everyday!
I want to take this time to thank God for all the wonderful gifts that He has given me ~ especially for my "white picket fence". AMEN.

Our Lady's message to Mirjana Soldo of February, 2nd 2011.
"Dear children; You are gathering around me, you are seeking your way, you are seeking, you are seeking the truth but are forgetting what is the most important, you are forgetting to pray properly. Your lips pronounce countless words, but your spirit does not feel anything. Wandering in darkness, you even imagine God Himself according to yourselves, and not such as He really is in His love. Dear children, proper prayer comes from the depth of your heart, from your suffering, from your joy, from your seeking the forgiveness of sins. This is the way to come to know the right God and by that also yourselves, because you are created according to Him. Prayer will bring you to the fulfillment of my desire, of my mission here with you, to the unity in God's family. Thank you."
Our Lady blessed everyone present, thanked them and called us to pray for priests.
