NOTHING "will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord" (18th Sunday in Ordinary Time, 8/2/2020).

  • Memorial of Saint Martha (7/29/2020): "The little village of Bethany, on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives about 3km from Jerusalem, was a favourite place of rest and refuge for Jesus.  Here he knew the intimacy and friendship of his friends Martha, Mary and Lazarus. And here, in the cemetery just below the village, he raised Lazarus from the dead" (http://www.seetheholyland.net/bethany/).  Below is a 3/16/17 photo from Bethany:

17th Sunday in Ordinary Time: Wisdom Still Needed - Perhaps More than Ever!

NFP Awareness Week (7/19 - 7/25)

17th Sunday in Ordinary Time
(7/26/20)

    • "My pastoral concern is that we as a nation and as a Church have succumbed to excessive fear.... Until we as the Church confronting[sic] the situation and 'man up' as Christians should, fear will masquerade as prudence.... For the time being, follow the recommended precautions, but ask yourself, 'When will this end, and who will get to decide that?'.... At some point we have to break out of the huddle and run the play. God will be with us" (Msgr Charles Pope. 7/18/2020).
  • US Makes $1.95 Billion Deal for 100 Million Doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 Vaccine (NewsMax, 7/22/2020) 
    • The above appears to be good news.  As per a 7/22/2020 communication from Children of God for Life, "The list of Covid-19 vaccines in development that are morally produced or use aborted fetal cell lines is on our website here: https://cogforlife.org/wp-content/uploads/CovidCompareMoralImmoral.pdf"  
    • Continue to Demand a COVID-19 Vaccine Free from Abortion (USCCB; Human Life Action; HHS Secretary Alex M. Azar II can be reached at Secretary@HHS.gov or 202 690 7000.)
  • The pro-life movement has spent decades pointing out that Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, had racist views and was a leading member of the eugenics movement.... Planned Parenthood is finally catching up: Its New York affiliate has disavowed Sanger for these views.... it’s not just Planned Parenthood officials who have been keen to overlook Sanger’s support for eugenics and her obvious racism. Until 2015, the organization gave out a Margaret Sanger award to honor leaders for their 'excellence and leadership in the reproductive health and rights movement.' The 2009 recipient? Hillary Clinton. And in 2014, the honor went to Nancy Pelosi" (National Review, 7/21/2020)
  • Genocide in Nigeria
  • Two Lower Bucks Catholic h.s. alumni vie for the same seat in Congress.... (7/7/2020)
