All Saints Day!

"What does it take to become a saint?............




-St. John Vianney - giving clues to the other children regarding who he is dressed as-

-St. Joan of Arc helping St. Denis give clues (St. Denis won the contest - winning a rosary blessed by the Holy Father)

(St. Denis was an early Archbishop, beheaded in Paris in 258AD. After the beheading he picked up his head and walked 2 miles preaching a sermon. The place where he stopped and laid is head is now a Cathedral.)

...Will it." - St. Thomas Aquinas

Blessed Feast Day, everyone!

Re: Pro-Lifer's First Ammendment Rights Violated

Update!

You may remember my post about the unjust arrest we witnessed at Planned Parenthood in Aurora. Our pro-life friend, Randy,was arrested at Planned Parenthood in March for trying to evangelize to one of the clinic workers from on public property. If you don't remember you can read the post here.

Anyway, the case has been dismissed. So, "they got the City to drop disorderly conduct charges against a peaceful picketer of Planned Parenthood!"

Happy Birthday!

Dear Dixi,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!


Love ,

Your "freaking annoying" little sister .

Right Here!

This is quite an oldie but a goodie. Conservative Jason Mattera goes undercover at an ObamaCare rally. It's both funny and sad at the same time. People are so misinformed!

Hopefully I'll be doing a "real" post next week!

Our Lady of Sorrows

Prayer to the Sorrowful Mother

Most holy Mother of Sorrows, by that soul-piercing martyrdom thou didst undergo at the foot of the Cross during the three hours' agony of Jesus, deign to assist me also, who am the child of thy Sorrows, in my agony, so that by thine intercession I may be found worthy to pass from my deathbed to thy blessed society in Paradise.

V. From a sudden and unprovided death,
R. Deliver me, O Lord.
V. From the snares of the devil,
R. Deliver me, O Lord.
V. From everlasting death,
R. Deliver me, O Lord.

Let us pray.
O God, Who for the salvation of mankind hast made for us in the most bitter death of Thy Son both an example and a refuge; grant, we beseech Thee, that we may be found worthy to obtain the fruit of His great love in our final peril at the hour of death, and to be made partakers of our Redeemer's glory. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Post!

Twas the last annual pro-life night at Kiddie Land. Sniff sniff...but us kiddies had fun while it lasted! Nice pictures, eh?

The day after Labor day I started another year of high school! Woot! At the beginning of almost every the year I find myself really excited about my new books, organizing and schedueling but weeks later or minutes later I find myself not following my own scheduel....

Day Two of school and guess where I am?! The fair, of course! I was obligated to go becuase my talented little violin virtuoso brother was in a "Fiddle Contest." The song on "My Playlist" thing is the beautiful song he played and guess what?! He came in 3rd place! Not bad for his first contest! Congrats, Jacob! Then, after he performed he won the "fire truck red" music stand they were raffling off. Lucky!....A loto ticket for his birthday next week dosen't sound like a bad idea right now. Oh, and I decided to post a picture of our adorable pet bunny who died a month or two ago. Almost every year the "Easter Bunny" leaves a bunny for my family. This bunny obviously didn't last very long. We don't know how or why it died. Dad said he fed it in the morning and that evning he found the poor thing dead in its cage- the rest of us were conveniently out of town that day. His name was "Paul Harvey." Paul, the year of St. Paul and Harvey, the movie. RIP, Paul!

Have You Forgotten?

"it's getting Crowdered in here."

I've been meaning to post one of these Steven Crowder YouTube's for a while and found this one to be somewhat relevant to the Health Care battle that's going on. Anyway, he's a pretty funny guy and he uploads a new video on YouTube just about every Thursday! Some videos are better than others so check 'em out!

Wowza!

Realizing it's already August...I'm back!....sorta!

Well, July came and gone but it was packed with fun. The way Summer is supposed to be! If only it slowed down just a little bit....

The highlight of our summer is and was the annual "Face the Truth Tour" with the Pro-life Action League. Mostly good reactions this year. People seemed to be very happy to see us this year though there were some counter protesters one day but they only invigorate us. ;-) Here are a few pictures:

The Kennedy Overpass

Slackers!...Nope! They were great and enjoyed it!Ooo...that's small....

That same weekend we went to Louisville, Kentucky for the Eternal Life Conference sponsored by the Cardinal Mindszenty Foundation. It was very enjoyable as Archbishop Burke was one of the key-note speakers. We had a pleasant walk around Louisville too.

Can you guess who Louisville is named after? Louis XVI (....and Marie Antoinette hehe)

We attended a High Mass at St. Martin of Tours Parish which was awesome. It had the first-class relics (skeletons) of Sts. Bonosa (Virgin and Martyr) and Magnus (Roman Centurion, Martyr) from 200 AD. Unfortunately, I lack pictures and can't seem to find much about them.

Then, on Thursday, my very excellent mother drove us up to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse. Wisconsin is beautiful and so is the Shrine!

Enjoy your summer!~

Happy 4th!
