We have to thank Our Sunday Visitor for the Thanksgiving prayer the Scheidlers, all 32 of us around the family table, will be saying at our Thanksgiving Day meal in the old Scheidler home.
The prayer is as follows:
Lord, we thank you for the goodness of our people and for the spirit of justice that fills this nation. We thank you for the beauty and fullness of the land and the challenge of our cities. We thank you for our work and our rest, for one another and for our homes. We thank you Lord (here each member of the family who wishes to mention a particular good he or she is especially thankful for). For all that we have spoken and for all that we keep in our hearts, accept our thanksgiving on this day. We pray and give thanks through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Try to attend the massive rally at the Aurora Planned Parenthood at 3051 New York Street from 9 to 11:30 a.m. this Saturday in Aurora. I have to miss the event to speak to students at DePaul University in Chicago and then to People Concerned for the Unborn Child in Pittsburgh, but my prayers are with all the good pro-lifers who attend the rally in Aurora. As Eric says, our plan is to shut them down.
The League is sponsoring a Face the Truth tour in Indianapolis this weekend. If you are an Indiana caller, meet the tour at 86th and Meridian at 9 a.m., Castleton Square at 11:30 and Lafayette Square at 3 p.m. Last year’s Indianapolis tour was one of our best out-of-towners with ten-to-one positive response.
Here’s a headline that the secular humanists promised us we would never have to worry about, that it just wasn’t going to happen; but which is in the papers today:
This is what storytellers used to call chimeras. You know, human upper torso, horse’s body, four hooves, two hands; or human body with an eagle’s head. Writers have fantasized about human-animal chimeras for centuries. But scientists told us they wouldn’t let it happen, and now here we are on the cusp of a new medical freak show spawned out of human cells and animal eggs.
Saturday’s Pro-Life Vigil at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Orland Park and the prayer march to Planned Parenthood Express was a powerful witness to the deep concern people in the southwest suburbs have for the great crime of abortion, and their determination to end it. More than 700 prayer warriors attended an 8:30 a.m. Mass, offered by Bishop Garcia-Siller with seven concelebrating priests and two attending deacons.
I spoke to students, faculty and parents at Christendom College in Front Royal, VA Saturday at Commencement Exercises and must say I was very favorable impressed with everything about Christendom—people, liturgy, location—like a little bit of Heaven at the entrance to the Blue Ridge Mountains.
What the world saw on Monday on the Campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg was wanton destruction of human life, at least thirty-two murders, one suicide and nearly thirty wounded.
You Can Stop Wanton Killing
The world reacted as it should, with a sense of disbelief, regret, a sense of loss, waste and confusion. Innocent lives were snuffed out needlessly, aimlessly, diabolically, by the will of a crazed psychopath. Every person’s death is a loss to society, and society can only sink into a melancholy with the question, unanswered, “Why?”
Happy 198th Birthday of President Abraham Lincoln. I almost said Barack Obama, since the newly announced Democrat contender for President of the United States is trying so hard to put on the mantel of the Great Emancipator that he is probably wishing he were born on Lincoln’s birthday.
Another new year, another chance to set things right, and that means working mightily to stop abortion on demand in America.
We never thought back in January of 1973 that abortion would still be legal thirty-four years later. We thought that if we could only reach the good old God-fearing, people-loving American masses with the truth that abortion is murder, this thing would be over in a few years. We didn’t know how hard it would be to spread the truth in our country, so famous for its free exchange of ideas. Nor did we appreciate at that time how determined the death peddlers would be to promote their culture of death, and how big their lies would be.
On Saturday, Dec. 23, the Pro-Life Action League will visit four abortion facilities in Chicago for our fourth annual “Empty Manger” Christmas Caroling Day. “The Christmas story is a story of hope and joy brought into the world by a newborn baby,” commented League Communications Director Eric Scheidler. “We want abortion-bound mothers to know that their unborn babies are a gift, too.”
The League has saved babies from abortion in past years when their mothers heard the caroling. “One mother told our counselor that hearing ‘Silent Night’ made her think about how Mary said yes to God—and then she couldn’t go through with the abortion.”
