It’s not just a clever tagline. Your prayers really do bring about The Beginning of the End of Abortion. Case in point: over the last few years, 40 Days for Life campaigns in the El Paso, Texas area have helped put 3 different abortion facilities out of business…forever! And the good news keeps coming. Mark, who oversees multiple campaigns in the region recently announced that El Paso’s Planned Parenthood no longer has an active abortion license. “This means they are not able to perform any abortion…even chemical abortions under six weeks, which are still currently allowed by the Heartbeat Law.

Planned Parenthood in El Paso isn’t closed–yet. It can still refer women for abortions at other facilities. “But the fact is that God has now stopped abortions at 4 locations in 4 years!” Mark said.
With just one active abortion facility in the region, the El Paso area is closer than ever to the end of abortion!

Be aware, little children, that life is short…



Be aware, little children, that life is short…long for Heaven!


September 30, 2021 St. Jerome
Dear Family of Mary!

“Dear children! Pray, witness and rejoice with me because the Most High continues to send me to lead you on the way of holiness. Be aware, little children, that life is short, and eternity is waiting for you to give glory to God with your being, with all the saints. Little children, do not worry about earthly things, but long for Heaven. Heaven will be your goal and joy will begin to reign in your heart. I am with you and bless all of you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (September 25, 2021)

In her September 25, 2021 Message Our Lady spoke to us about eternity. She reminded us: “Be aware, little children, that life is short, and eternity is waiting for you to give glory to God with your being, with all the saints.” When we ponder eternity, we begin to understand how very short our years on earth are. Eternity cannot be comprehended. But we can at least tell ourselves that eternity is time that never has an end. Hours end. Days end. Years end. Eons end. But eternity will never end. Never.
And if we believe in eternity, if we believe in Heaven and Hell, then it becomes very important that we spend that eternity in the right place. Only life with God in Heaven can be imagined.
The question then becomes, “How do I live so as to find myself in Heaven for eternity?” Our Lady has told us already: “Pray, witness and rejoice with me because the Most High continues to send me to lead you on the way of holiness.” God has sent Our Lady to lead us into holiness, which is the only way to arrive in Heaven for eternity. Holiness is our way, Heaven our goal.
I want to share with you one of the most comforting Scripture passages I know, that deals with our future in eternity. It is long, but so worth the read!! It is from the Letter of St. Paul to the Romans:

Romans 8
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, indeed it cannot; and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
But if Christ is in you, although your bodies are dead because of sin, your spirits are alive because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you. So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh — for if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God.
We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.
What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies; who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, “For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8)

Dearest Mother, lead us on the way of holiness so that one day we will find ourselves in the love of God in Christ Jesus for eternity!

President Trump: Christians Can’t Support Joe Biden Because He’s Radically Pro-Abortion



As many in the US advocate to deny healthcare to a baby girl who survives an abortion, Catholics, Protestants, Evangelicals, and Orthodox Christians unify to end abortion. It’s also true at the global level that the vigil has united pro-lifers in countries around the world. Christians in Seoul are holding South Korea’s first-ever campaign. It’s off to a strong start. “On the first day, 75 volunteers participated,” said Joonil, who helps lead the campaign. “We never expected this large number of people.”
image
The Seoul team is bound by pandemic restrictions that prevent public gatherings…but they’ve gotten creative to keep their vigil law-abiding. “One volunteer prays in front of [our big sign],” Joonil reported. “The others pray, keeping their distance, standing or walking around the place focusing prayer for an end to abortion.” Vigil participants display a picture of an unborn baby, and enthusiasm is high. “Some volunteers thanked us for inviting this great campaign,” Joonil shared.

Stockport, England Joonil isn’t the only campaign leader to see greater-than-expected turnout early in the vigil. Steve in Stockport said finding vigil participants is difficult. Some people even deliberately avoid him to dodge his recruitment efforts! But Steve isn’t deterred. He continues building his campaign–one prospective participant at a time. 50 people attended his launch event last week. “All in all, a great job!” commented 40 Days for Life Director of International Campaigns Robert Colquhoun.

Ann Arbor, Michigan The Ann Arbor campaign hosted a Jericho March, joined by more than 125 people of all ages. “It was such a blessing to be led by Lutheran and Presbyterian pastors and Catholic clergy!” said Ann Arbor leader Sandie. “The pro-life movement brings us all together in such a powerful way.”

Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So, too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. —Luke 10:30-34 Father, we are moved by the lesson of the Good Samaritan, who allowed compassion to influence him more than fear. Give us the same heart. Grant that we may never count the cost of standing up and speaking out for the unborn. See today’s full devotional

Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, Archangels



I am with you and with the saints and angels intercede for you.


September 29, 2021 SS. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, Archangels
Dear Family of Mary!
This is the Feast of the three Archangels, Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael! We know that we are in a serious spiritual battle in these days. Our Lady has been with us for over 40 years now, leading us in the fight for souls. As she told us in the message below, she is interceding for us along with the saints and ANGELS! So we should be calling on these three Archangels every day.

July 25, 2014 “Dear children! You are not aware of the graces that you are living at this time in which the Most High is giving you signs for you to open and convert. Return to God and to prayer, and may prayer begin to reign in your hearts, families and communities, so that the Holy Spirit may lead and inspire you to every day be more open to God’s will and to His plan for each of you. I am with you and with the saints and angels intercede for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Here is a prayer to each Archangel through which we can ask for their intercession:
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. O glorious prince St. Michael, chief and commander of the heavenly hosts, guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits, servant in the house of the Divine King and our admirable conductor, you who shine with excellence and superhuman virtue deliver us from all evil, who turn to you with confidence and enable us by your gracious protection to serve God more and more faithfully every day. Amen

Most glorious Prince, Archangel Raphael, be mindful of us and pray for us, here and in every place, to the Son of God. O God, who gave your servant Tobias the holy archangel Raphael for a companion on his journey, grant that during our earthly pilgrimage we may always be protected by his watchful care and strengthened by his help. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen…

Blessed Saint Gabriel, Archangel! We beseech you to intercede for us at the throne of divine mercy: As you announced the mystery of the Incarnation to Mary, so through your prayers may we receive strength of faith and courage of spirit, and thus find favor with God and redemption through Christ Our Lord. May we sing the praise of God our Savior with the angels and saints in heaven forever and ever. Amen.
And one prayer to Our Lady, Queen of Angels:

August Queen of Heaven, sovereign Queen of Angels, you who at the beginning received from God the power and the mission to crush the head of Satan, we beseech you humbly, send your holy legions so that, on your orders and by your power, they will track down demons, fight them everywhere, curb their audacity and plunge them into the abyss. Oh good and tender Mother, you will always be our love and our hope. Oh divine Mother, send the Holy Angels and Archangels to defend me and to keep the cruel enemy far from me. Holy Angels and Archangels defend us, protect us. Amen.

  BENEATH ALL THE TALK ABOUT “CHOICE” 
 By Julie Grimstad  
  The problem of suffering has confronted mankind ever since Adam and Eve lost paradise. Suffering – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual – is an inescapable element of human life. Fortunately, modern medicine is able to relieve physical pain, or at least reduce it to a tolerable level in nearly all cases. People hurt physically less now than ever before.
 
Ironically, just as we are making real progress in pain management, as well as in addressing the needs of the total person, “death control” is being proposed and, in fact, practiced as a solution to the problem of suffering. Numerous organizations exist with the primary aim to make it legal for someone who is suffering to request and receive assisted suicide or euthanasia. Proponents of euthanasia and assisted suicide claim that death is fundamentally a matter of choice. Those who oppose “choice in dying” are unjustly accused of wanting to force people to suffer unbearably. Is this true? NO!
 
The mental anguish, loss of control, social isolation, economic hardship, and other sufferings that often accompany serious illness and debility are more likely to undermine a patient’s will to live than is physical pain. Our culture glorifies health and self-sufficiency. It treats suffering as a thing without value, which must be eliminated at all costs. This climate makes it difficult for people with incurable conditions not to despair. Beneath all the talk about “choice” is the (usually unspoken) view that those who are very ill, old, or disabled should be put out of their (and our) misery. This attitude may be a loaded gun pressed into the hand of a person, who, at a time of great vulnerability, feels that he would be better off dead and his loved ones would be better off without him.   
 
It is not easy to resist the popular mindset that some people are better off dead. Often, however, selfishness is what makes this idea appealing. True compassion means sharing another’s pain; it does not kill the person whose suffering we cannot bear or whose needs we don’t want to concern ourselves about. Genuine concern requires that we saturate with love and tender care those who are suffering, assuring them that their lives are precious to us, and they are worthy of our attention and protection.
 
Those of us who are sick or old must in turn be willing to humbly accept the care we need – medical care, of course, but also the personal care that our families, friends, and communities offer us. Our human task, whether healthy or sick, is to cherish each other.
 
Both giving and receiving care demonstrate genuine respect for human dignity and the sanctity of life.

SAVE THE DATE! Attention Oklahomans and Others from Surrounding Areas On Saturday, October 9, 2021, 6:30 to 8:00 pm, Dr. Joseph Eble will be addressing the question Are “brain dead” patients truly dead?   For more information, Click Here!

MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Healthcare Advocacy and Leadership Organization is to promote, protect, and advocate for the rights of the medically vulnerable through direct patient and family interactions; through intercessory prayer; through community education and awareness programs; and through promotion and development of concrete *”life-affirming healthcare”* alternatives for those facing the grave consequences of healthcare rationing and unethical practices, especially those at risk of euthanasia and assisted suicide.

*”Life-affirming healthcare” is defined as medical care in which the paramount principle is the sanctity of life, which means that the life and safety of each person come first and each person receives medical care across their lifespan based on their need for care and never with an intention to hasten death, regardless of their abilities or perceived “quality of life.”

The Texas Heartbeat Act took effect in the Lone Star State this month. The new law prohibits abortion once an unborn baby’s heartbeat can be detected…and it’s already having a tangible impact at 40 Days for Life vigil sites throughout Texas. “Two abortion-minded women came to us after their baby was protected through the Texas Heartbeat Act,” wrote Theresa, the 40 Days for Life leader in Houston. “One is happy to have her baby now. One…has not confirmed she wants to carry but has been told by an abortionist that she legally cannot get an abortion.” That mom is getting medical assistance from a pro-life doctor. If she ultimately keeps her baby, it would make her the 9th mom to choose life–in one day at the Houston vigil site.
image
The Texas Heartbeat Act is generating headlines around the world. But what is it? How does it work? And will it survive a multitude of legal challenges? Recently, 40 Days for Life General Counsel Matt Britton joined The 40 Days for Life Podcast to break it all down. Tune in for Matt’s hope-filled analysis by visiting: 40daysforlife.com/texas-heartbeat-act-end-abortion

Dallas, Texas Annette in Dallas reported a baby spared from abortion the first hour of the vigil! “A young woman and her grandmother stopped to talk to one of the sidewalk counselors in front of Planned Parenthood in South Dallas,” Annette said. “After a few minutes of conversation, all three agreed that she should keep her baby!”
By the end of a six-hour shift on the sidewalk, that same sidewalk counselor saved another baby by sharing resources available to help the family with two born children. “She knew in her heart that she didn’t want to abort her baby,” Annette continued. “She just felt alone and desperate.”

Syracuse, New York Prayer warriors in New York face a dramatically different legislative environment compared with Texas… …but their enthusiasm is not diminished. “Our opening prayer service was beautiful,” wrote Jeanie, the longtime leader in Syracuse. “These incredible faith-filled warriors are some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet.” Jeanie said two pastors led participants in prayer…plus, a priest who was ordained 71 years ago closed the event by praying from his car. “We are expecting miracles,” Jeanie said. “Come, Holy Spirit!”

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed. —Luke 4:18-19 Lord, send us to the poorest, the most broken, the most captive, the most blind and the most oppressed in the world, the innocent pre-born children in their mothers’ wombs that are scheduled for destruction.

The Most High continues to send me…



The Most High continues to send me to lead you on the way of holiness!

September 28, 2021
Dear Family of Mary!
Here again is the message for September 25, 2021 from Our Lady, Queen of Peace in Medjugorje:

“Dear children! Pray, witness and rejoice with me because the Most High continues to send me to lead you on the way of holiness. Be aware, little children, that life is short, and eternity is waiting for you to give glory to God with your being, with all the saints. Little children, do not worry about earthly things, but long for Heaven. Heaven will be your goal and joy will begin to reign in your heart. I am with you and bless all of you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (September 25, 2021)

Pray, witness and rejoice with me because the Most High continues to send me to lead you on the way of holiness.

Our Lady makes it very clear that it is God who has sent her to be with us in these days in Medjugorje. These 40 years of Our Lady’s presence have been a gift to us from the Heart of the Father, a free gift of grace to us! This plan came from the Love of the Trinity. It was God’s initiative to send our Mother to us.
God has sent Our Lady to earth several times throughout history. These visits from Our Mother always come at a time when we need her most. But I can’t think of a time when we have needed her more than today. After centuries of struggle, it would seem that the world has wrenched itself out of God’s hands. So much sin and rejection of God!
And so, Our Lady has come to us in Medjugorje to accompany us through these years, teaching us, keeping our minds and hearts on God, showing us the way of faith and love, and giving us courage. Haven’t we needed her!
I thought I would assemble a short litany of Our Lady’s words about the Father sending her to us, as they will comfort us and encourage us for the days ahead. Mother is still with us. The Most High continues to send her to us to lead us on the way of holiness.
Let us ponder and give thanks to the Father who has sent us Mary:
God sends me to you…

God sends me to help you and to guide you towards paradise, which is your goal. Therefore, little children, pray, pray, pray. (09/25/94) – Mother thank you for coming to us!

God sends me to you out of love, that I may help you to comprehend that without Him there is no future or joy and, above all, there is no eternal salvation. (04/25/97) -Mother thank you for coming to us!

Put Holy Scripture in a visible place in your families, read it, reflect on it and learn how God loves His people. His love shows itself also in present times because He sends me to call you upon the path of salvation. (01/25/99)

There must be holiness in the families, little children, because there is no future for the world without love and holiness – because in holiness and joy, you give yourselves to God the Creator who loves you with immeasurable love. This is why He sends me to you. (01/25/20)

May everything you do be for the glory of God, and then Heaven will fill your heart with joy and you will feel that God loves you and is sending me to save you and the earth on which you live. (09/25/20)

Dear children, In this time of God’s signs, do not be afraid because I am with you. The great love of God sends me to lead you to salvation. Give me your simple hearts, purified by fasting and prayer. Only in the simplicity of your hearts is your salvation. I will be with you and lead you. Thank you. (09/02/07)

With a motherly heart, today I want to remind you, namely, of God’s infinite love, and the patience which ensues from it. Your Father sends me and waits. (02/02/09)

God the Father is sending me to show you the way of salvation, because He, my children, desires to save you and not to condemn you. (05/02/11)

Nothing is more important than unity in my Son. I will help you because the Heavenly Father is sending me so that, together, we can show the way of grace and salvation to all those who do not know Him. (05/02/12)

I am your mother. I am in the Kingdom but am also here with you. My Son is sending me anew to help you. Therefore, do not lose hope; instead, follow me – because the victory of my heart is in the name of God. (12/02/14)

Dear children, my real, living presence among you should make you happy because this is the great love of my Son. He is sending me among you so that, with a motherly love, I may grant you safety; (07/02/16)

My Son is sending me to you – the mother who is the same for everyone – that I may teach you to love, to comprehend that you are brothers. He desires to help you. (11/02/17)

Pray, witness and rejoice with me because the Most High continues to send me to lead you on the way of holiness. (09/25/21)

Thank you, dearest Mother, for coming to us with so much freedom and humility, to help us to find our way to your Son. Thank you to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, for sending you to us in these days!
