Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter---

Martin Luther King Jr.

I will not become silent.

I will speak out!

I will shout!

I will scream!

I will let the world know abortion is murder!

I will also do this with great love and humbleness!

As Martin Luther King Jr. said," When you are right you cnnot be too radical; When you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative."

I am right and know in my heart the Lord has called me to fight this "Culture of Death."

I will also respect and pray for our 44th President of the United States, Barrack Obama.

I will follow the words of Lucy Larcom:

If the world seems cold to you, kindle fires to warm it.

Blessed be God forever!

Here I am, Lord; I have come to do your Will.

Tonight, I must turn all over to my Lord and trust that He will guide me in what I am to do so that I may contribute in the fight to combat the "Culture of Death."

I will work until I am bone tired to fight the "Culture of Death."

I will work to teach my children over and over again with much love that only God's Will matters and we are to know, to love, and to serve Him.

I will lovingly teach my children that they cannot stand by and let the innocent be killed.

I will also lovingly teach my children that we will not be one issue Catholics.

We will place life at the top of our priority; however, we will work to improve social justice issues within our country.

I will do this, so help me God, with much love, prayers, and humbleness.

Thank you God for letting me live in a country where I have a right to vote. Thank you God for letting me live in a country where I have religious freedom and the freedom of speech.

Thank you good for letting me join you in fighting the "Culture of Death."

Let me be your eyes, your ears, your hands, your feet, your voice.

Let me be the voice of the unborn, the poor, the hungry, the lonely, and the those who need my suport.

Let me do your Will with love, with humbleness, and with your guidance.

Blessed be God Forever!

Rosary now more than ever!

Abortion is Murder!!

I saw this on a website and wanted to repeat it:

A vote for Obama is a vote for dead children.

Will you be able to justify to these children on Judgement Day why you vote for a candidate that did not protect them from abortion??

Chose Life, Your mother did!!!

I will chose life!

Vote Pro-Life!!

I would like to see Obama tell Blessed Mother Teresa about what his first act as President of the United States would be.

I know that she would be horrified to hear about the Freedom of Choice Act. I know she would be saddened over the fact that Obama does not have the interest of the unborn in his heart.

Blessed Mother Teresa would be praying a lot for Obama.

She knew the value of life and she knew what true social justice was.

She lived with and served the poorest of the poor and she felt that abortion was murder. She felt that every person should have a chance at time.

Perhaps Obama, you should have found people like her to advise you on your policies.

Pray for those voting tomorrow that they will see Life as precious and will see Obama's life policies unbearable to live with.

Pray also for Obama that he will have a change of heart in regards to his extreme abortion views.

Please pray a rosary for life!

Blessed be God Forever!

Rosary Time!

There is no time more needed than the present time to be praying to Our Lady for her intercession. Please say a rosary for Life!

Our Lady is waiting to hear from you!

Blessed be God Forever!

My All Saints Day with 40 Days for Life!

Picture above are a few of the wonderful people I prayed with during my time with 40 Days for Life.

I spent time on All Saints Day with a wonderful and devout crew of Catholics in front of the Planned Parenthood Abortion Mill in Rochester, NY.

It was a bit nippy, but while we were praying the rosary the sun came through and seemed to be God smiling on us.

I had the little ones with me and wish the older boys could have joined us as well, but schedules did not allow it.

The people praying at the vigil site were kind, generous, and so loving.

We prayed and prayed and prayed.

I have to say that when I drove by the Planned Parenthood Abortion Mill to get to the vigil, I felt evil itself lurking in the air.

My stomach turned when I thought about this being a place where babies are murdered and I , first as a Catholic- Second as a mother- and third as a registered nurse that I could not run in there and do something about it.

How heavy my heart felt!

I turned it over to God and joined by fellow pro-lifers in praying!

We briefly discussed our concerns in regards to the election, but I know that if the election does not turn its favor to LIFE that this will only urge all of us to work harder and to have a stronger faith in the Lord.

I want to thank the wonderful 40 Days for Life crew I meet on Sunday, to Jose for all his hard work for organizing, and David Bereit, National Campaign Director40 Days for Life for the amazing job that he did.

I hope next year to organize a 40 Days for Life in my community and I encourage each of you to consider doing the same.

A close and dear friend reminded me that it is one thing to say you are pro-life and do nothing and it is another to get out there in the trenches so you get dirty.

I think it is time for more of us to get dirty.

Blessed be God Forever!

Why I do what I do!

I do what I do to help be a better person, to love my neighbor, to help the homeless, to feed to hungry, to give time to the lonely, to defend life because I love God.

I also do it because I love these four kids.

They make me each day want to be a better person.

Loving them tells my heart that I must work to make this world a better place.

Loving them tells me that I must teach them that loving God means being a servant and by being a servant, they are to take care of the vulnerable, the homeless, the hungry, the poor, the lonely, and to care about those that make the laws in our country and VOTE!!!!

I must make sure that I leave no doubt in their minds what the Catholic Church teaches so that they will never come to a time in their life when they must ponder who the best candidate may be.

They will already have it written on their hearts: the one that supports the right to life and social justice issues.

Loving these four kids makes it imperative that I teach them that the Right to Life is the foundation of all other rights and without the Right to Life no other right matters.

Blessed be God Forever!

Will the real feminists please stand up?

The statue above is in my Village of Seneca Falls.

It is a statue of Amelia Bloomer (center) introducing Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

These women are the foremothers for the Women's Right Movement.

For those of you who do not know, Seneca Falls is the home of Women's Rights and the National Women's Hall of Fame.

A surprising fact to most is that these women were pro-life.

Next weekend, I have been asked to help re-enact this historic meeting of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

I will play Amelia Bloomer and my good friend, Michelle will be playing Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

I am very excited about this because it means that I am recognized in my community as someone who is Pro-life; this is considered to be a bit radical in the community I live in.

It is not common to find like-minded people.

The re-enactment will be followed by a short conference defending life with pro-life speakers.

The exciting speaker (for me) will be Sue Wills, Esq. from the National Bishops Conference, Pro-life Activities.

We will also obtain 100 signatures on the New Declaration of Rights for Women & Children:160th Anniversary Declaration of Rights for Women and Children

Recalling 2008 marks the 160th anniversary of the Declaration of Sentiments written for the First Woman’s Rights Convention at Seneca Falls, New York as well as the 60th anniversary of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, Feminists Choosing Life of New York presents a compilation of human rights documents and pro-life feminist philosophies related to a consistent life ethic and wherein opposes abortion ,euthanasia, the death penalty and embryonic stem cell research as violations of basic human rights and,

It is the right and duty of every woman, equally with man, to promote every righteous cause by every righteous means, and especially in regard to her children and their security of life and happiness.[i]

Whereas the child by reason of his or her physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection before as well as after birth.[ii]

Whereas the woman, by reason of her child bearing capacity needs special safeguards and care thus seeks legal protection and accommodation for said capacity, in the home, workplace, and society[iii],

Therefore let it be hereby resolved that

"Every Human being has the inherent right to life. This right shall be protected by law. No one shall arbitrarily be deprived of his or her life”[iv]

Women and their children must not accept their current situation when they are deprived of special care and assistance they need[v]. (Art. 25).

Women must have full legal protection against those who take the life of her child.3

Women and children shall be free from violence at home and in public and be assured full legal protection against those who threaten the life of a woman or her children.3

Women and children must have full legal protection against all forms of non-consensual sex3.

Women and children shall have full access to affordable health care including pre and post natal care.3

Women and children must have full access to quality, affordable child-care and after-school care.3

Women and children must have access to affordable, appropriate campus housing for all parenting students.3

Sentences of death shall not be carried out on pregnant women.**** (International Convention of Civil and Political Rights.5 (Art. 5)
The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.5(Art. 16)
[i] Declaration of Sentiments
[ii] UN Preamble Declaration of the Rights of the Child
[iii] Feminists Choosing Life of New York
[iv] Article 6: The American Declaration on the Rights of the Child
[v] Declaration of the Rights of the Child

NOW (National Organization of Women) will hold their convention at the Holiday Inn in Seneca Falls this same weekend and their BIGGEST agenda is pro-abortion/choice.

To counteract their pro-choice views, we will putting on this 160th Anniversary celebration to show that our feminist foremothers were pro-life and their strong commitment to Equal Rights for All Women and Children meant the unborn as well.

Please pray that in this town of pro-choicers that we will receive the support to show the world that pro-life is the only way to live!

Blessed be God Forever!

I'll take pictures and post them so you can see how things went!
