Notre Dame Scandal

"The fort is betrayed even of them that should have defended it." - St. John Fisher

After my mother saw the holy pro-life Fr. Westlin (yes, a Catholic priest!) get arrested at Notre Dame Friday - on a video from Jill Stanek's website- my (cool!) mother wanted to drive to Notre Dame as soon as possible. Thus, we arrived there on Saturday afternoon.

Outside the main entrance to the campus stood about 50-100 Pro-Lifers. There were at least 15 of us on each corner.

The Pro-Life plane was flying above us all day Sat. & Sunday.

The "Truth Trucks" were out in full force too! Awesome drivers!

"A nation that kills it's own children is a nation WITHOUT HOPE" - Pope John Paul II

"Our tax $ funding abortions world wide - Mexico City Policy"

Prayer warriors! I took this picture while I was kneeling on the corner holding a Malachi sign with my sister. :)

We decided to spend the night rather then driving back and forth from IL to South Bend. Anyway, we went to a rally with Dr. Keyes shortly after he was released from jail Sat. night. Mr. Randall Terry and Dr. Monica Miller also spoke and we saw Jill Stanek.

We ended our day with Eucharistic adoration with Bishop D'Arcy back on Notre Dame's campus.

Sunday- We found Fr.Pavone and attended the ND Response (on Campus) Outdoor Mass.

Walking back from Mass we wittnessed two arrests, one, the lady in white. While being escorted the second person, a man, said "Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever!"

The Pro-Life plane hovering over Notre Dame Grads!

Unfortunatly we didn't get the chance to protest with the Pro-Life Action League instead we stayed at the Main gate (Angela and Notre Dame Dr.) for most of the day.

Sunday night we went to a another gathering with Fr. Corapi and Dr. Keyes.
Here is some of the video I took:

There may have been other speakers but we had to get home. It was a great ending to a busy week!

Jill Stanek has great posts on the protests on her website too!

Oh my Josh!

"It was the first political event I've ever been a part of that I've ever been so proud to be a part of," - Josh Groban quoted by OK magazine after singing for President Obama's inaugural celebration.

Warning, you'll probably want to fast after reading this post too.

He was also involved in the highly liberal organization, Rock the Vote, which encourages illinformed young people to vote.

I found out about Groban's political views while watching these two videos here and here.

I for one, am starting a boycott. I put away his Cd -with my mom's already buried Bruce Springsteen CD, so I won't be tempted to buy any more of his music with my money....which would end up in some liberal's organization's pocket until he has a conversion.

Pray a Novena to STOP the FOCA

I just received this e-mail and wished to pass it along!

Please read the information below and join us in prayer and fasting January 11-19, 2009.

The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) will be signed into law if Congress passes it on January 21-22, 2009. The FOCA is the next sick chapter in the book of abortion. If signed into law, all limitations on abortion will be lifted, resulting in the following:1) All hospitals, including Catholic hospitals, will be required to perform abortions upon request. If this happens, Bishops vow to close down all Catholic hospitals - more then 30% of all hospitals in the U.S.2) Partial birth abortions will be legal and have no limitations.3) All U.S. taxpayers will be funding abortions.4) Parental notification of abortions on minors will no longer be required (regardless of age).5) The estimated number of increase in abortions is 100,000 annually.Just as important, the government will now have control in the issue of abortion. This could result in a future amendment that would force women by law to have abortions in certain situations (rape, Down Syndrome babies, etc) and could even regulate how many children women are allowed to have.Needless to say this information is disturbing, but sadly true. As Catholics, as Christians, as anyone who is against the needless killing of innocent children, we must stand as one. We must stop this horrific act before it becomes a law.

PLEASE JOIN US IN saying a novena and fasting from January 11-19. For Catholics, the prayer of choice is the rosary for the special intention of stopping the FOCA. For non-Catholics we encourage you to pray your strongest prayers with the same intention for 9 consecutive days.

We hope and pray this will branch and blossom to become a global effort. Please do the following 3 things:1) Pass this information on quickly (so as many as possible can start praying on January 11)2) Say a novena from January 11-19, asking God to prevent the FOCA from becoming law in the U.S.3) Fast at least 2 days during this novena (either a complete fast of bread and water, or a Lenten fast of no meat and meals limited to 1regular meal and 2 lesser meals during the day).Remember that with God all things are possible and the power of prayer is undeniable.

Please sign the petition on the left too!
