It is estimated that 5 BILLION abortions have been performed in the last 100 years and Fatima has never said a word about abortion. 16 “When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. 17 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled” ….by a double miracle in Matthew 2:16-18. 18 “A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.” By a double miracle Rachel was raised from the dead 600 years after her death and her voice was heard in Ramah which is 6 miles away from her grave. She was weeping for her children and refused to be comforted. Nobody else has ever done what Rachel did.
Leader:"A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning— Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they are no more." Matthew 2:18 Response: Lord, have mercy on the children who were never held. For the infants of Bethlehem, slain by Herod’s fear:We remember their cries, silenced by power.R: Rachel, mother of sorrow, intercede for them.

For mothers who grieve in secret, burdened by shame or regret:We ask for healing, mercy, and the embrace of divine compassion.

And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you. But He answered them, saying, “Who is My mother, or My brothers?” And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers Mark 3:31–34 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. SomeonetoldHim,“Look,Yourmotherandbrothersare standingoutside,wantingto speakto You.” But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers? For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”…Matt 12.50 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.” He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.” Luke 8:19–21
Even Protestants insist these passages did not "downplay" or "minimize" Mary, but -- instead -- actually honored Her and were all about teaching a spiritual principle. evidence-for-the-bible.com/…-jesus-disrespect-his… __________________________________________________ QUOTES found at that link: Jesus’ words were not a rejection of Mary, whom Scripture consistently presents as faithful and obedient to God. What Jesus Is Not Doing Jesus is not: * Dishonoring His mother * Rejecting Mary * Minimizing her role * Denying their relationship He is showing what truly made her blessed. Scripture elsewhere makes clear that Jesus honored His mother and fulfilled the Law’s command to honor parents. So this passage cannot contradict that. Instead, Jesus is teaching a kingdom principle. Jesus’ point is not about Mary personally. It is about a widespread false confidence among the people of His day: the belief that biological lineage equals spiritual standing. Many believed they were secure …More
Happy Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary! Queen of Heaven and Earth, Mother of all Mankind, Mediatrix of all Grace, Co-Redemptrix! This Feast was placed directly beside the Feast of the Sacred Heart because Jesus revealed that He expressly wanted His Mother's Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart to be elevated and honored along with His. When Sister Lucy questioned Our Lord as to why He would not convert Russia without the solemn public consecration of that nation specifically, Jesus answered: "Because I want My whole Church to acknowledge that Consecration as a Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, so that it may extend its homage later on, and put the devotion to This Immaculate Heart beside the devotion to My Sacred Heart." facebook.com/…-the-heart-of-my-mother-jesus-sai/7…
Tue Jun 9, 2026 - 4:36 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — If you were to ask the average pro-lifer to name the leading international abortion network of the 21st century, nearly everyone would answer, “The International Planned Parenthood Federation.” They would be wrong. While IPPF reports performing approximately 6.5 million abortions a year through its network of providers and member associations, these numbers are dwarfed by DKT International. According to DKT, in 2025 alone it supplied a whopping: 6.5 million mifepristone/misoprostol combipacks, 31.1 million misoprostol tablets, 275,000 Manual Vacuum Aspirators, each one of which can be reused dozens of times by simply changing the attached cannula (“tube”) that is inserted into the uterus to extract the baby. So how many cannulae did DKT supply? 31.1 million. While it is true that not every one of the tens of millions of abortion pills or MVA cannulae marketed by DKT resulted in an abortion, many of them did. Let’s say that a quarter of …

But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of an innocent child, murder by the mother herself. MOTHER TERESA They who have not signed up to strive for the crown are not required to undergo the labors of the contest. Those who haven’t gone down to the track don’t smear themselves with oil, nor get covered with dust. Trouble comes only to those on their way to glory. The perfumed spectators prefer to watch, not to join the struggle, nor endure the sun, the heat, the dust and the rain.” ST AMBROSE Let us be neither dogs that do not bark nor silent onlookers nor paid servants who run away before the wolf. Instead, let us be careful shepherds watching over Christ’s flock. ST. BONIFACE I tell you quite frankly that whenever I see sinners, I grow restless, I cannot quiet down, I cannot be consoled, my heart goes out to them. To give you an idea of how I feel, I'll draw a comparison. If a loving mother saw her …More
“Those who hold the reins of government should not forget that it is the duty of public authority by appropriate laws and sanctions to defend the lives of the innocent, and this all the more so since those whose lives are endangered and assailed cannot defend themselves. Among whom we must mention in the first place infants hidden in the mother's womb. And if the public magistrates not only do not defend them, but by their laws and ordinances betray them to death at the hands of doctors or of others, let them remember that God is the Judge and Avenger of innocent blood which cried from earth to Heaven.” CASTI CONNUBII, ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XI, 67
“The priests of the Lord must therefore, so far as reason and prudence suggest, impose salutary and suitable satisfactions, in keeping with the nature of the crimes and the ability of the penitents; otherwise, if they should connive at sins and deal too leniently with penitents, imposing certain very light works for very grave offenses, they might become partakers in the sins of others.” Council of Trent, Session XIV, CHAPTER VIII “connive in sins” various descriptions Connivance is the act of allowing wrongdoing to be covered up or overlooked, whether actively or passively; "Connivance" derives from the Latin coniveo: "to close the eyes, to overlook."; In theological terms, connivance is a useful term, especially for the passive allowance of immoral behavior; culpable indifference or criminal sympathy with the sin; Wink at his fault, and forbear to accuse and punish him; indifference to precise regulations of religion, indisposition of heart towards "perfect holiness"; a loose …More
Light penances for grave sins do more harm than good—they condemn the penitent to even greater torment in purgatory and make the priest complicit in the sins. Moreover, does a woman understand the full gravity of her sin after receiving three Lord's Prayer prayers as satisfaction for an abortion? Will she refrain from repeating the sin next time?
I really like his smarts, he has a PHD in theology and has the ability to answer questions with unusual intelligence and understanding. He is just all around excellent.
Well known Catholic Anwers apologist says all of Fatima's predictions, timelines and visions have either already taken place or the timeline has expired and there is no more to expect from Fatima. PS: don't blame me, I am an opponent of Jimy Akin ever since he lied on camera and in a book that abortion is NOT a religious issue.
We are waiting for the 100th anniversary of the request for the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart (2029). And as we know on the 100th anniversary of request regarding the consecration of France to the Sacred Heart an ominous event took place (1789).
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27 Leo has done nothing to protect the unborn orphans sentenced to demonic murder by their mother.
Oct 13, 2022 · Receiving communion in the hand was the common practice of the Church in both East and West for the first 800 years of Christianity, and it was … Early Christian Communion in the Hand - Church Life …
@chris griffin Of course, since our Lord told the Apostles to take the chalice of His Blood just after supper, then any sort of Eucharistic fast is also a similar disobedience of our Lord, isn't it?
You are like a dog with a bone with no meat on it! The University of Notre Dame - that den of heresy! Look fella, you are completely and utterly wrong about Communion in the hand - WRONG! You are actually promoting the desecration on the Holy Eucharist, the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is amazing that you are so hung up on the words "Take and eat" and not "This is my Body" and "This is the Chalice of my Blood". Maybe if you can get through your brain fog and meditate/reflect on those words and Who it is that says them you just might let go of the bone that you are growling on. By the way, Communion in the hand was not common and standard in the early centuries of the Church. Laudetur Iesus Christus!
When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. Luke 24:30-31 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread. Luke 24:35 This is exactly Communion in the Hand as Jesus practiced it. The two men eyes were opened by Communion in the Hand. It could hardly be clearer with two explicit references in such a short section. I urge all Catholics to immediately start receiving in the Hand exclusively and immediately as Jesus described in the Gospel of Luke and continue lifelong. I urge you not to delay. In stead be like the two men at Emmaus. Proof of Communion in the Hand from Jesus Himself
Jesus specified the form of Holy Communion as "Take and Eat", not "Open your mouth and stick your tongue". Communion on the tongue is simply another tick of satin to encourage Catholics to disobey Jesus in mass.
1. Aquinas (and St. Agustine also) said that early gestation unborn babies are vegetable and animals before becoming human. Pro-abortion Catholic President Biden and Catholic Speaker Pelosi both quoted this in their defense of early legal abortion. 2.Aquinas said that “conscience” must always be followed. This is absolutely contrary to Catholic teaching, but some people still cite this as justification for abortion. 3. Aquinas foolishly said that lying is never permissible. Imagine the classic situation that you are hiding Jews in your attic during WW2 and the Nazis ask you if you are hiding Jews. According to Aquinas you must tell the Nazis “Yes they are in the attic” which results in the murder of the Jews. Aquinas is wrong...Biblically wrong.
Conscience does not determine right from wrong the intellect does and the conscience must be obeyed as its purpose is to encourage the good as determined by the will . Aquinas is correct. Re lying Aquinas is also correct ,in the case you put forth it is not lying,lying is against justice as Aquinas says and justice is to give another what is owed. In the case you mention the Nazies are not due the truth and therefore it is not against justice to withhold the information and is therefore not a lie. Be careful in critizing Aquinas if you are not on firm ground. Yes you may never lie but you have to understand what a lie is.
Let me guess. That Hindus are on a loving, trusting flight towards God, and that Muslims prize the moral life and give worship to God through prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. How did I do? I went right to the documents of Vatican II.
