Priests for Life will begin a novena on 3-23-2009 in remembrance of Terry Schiavo, more info here:

Terry died a few days (3-31-2005) before John Paul II the Great died (4-2-2005).

Here is the prayer:

Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life,
And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters.

I know that life is always a good,
and that it never loses its value
when it is beset by weakness or injury.

Lord, thank you for the life of Terri Schindler-Schiavo.
Even in her suffering and death
She revealed Your glory
and truth that life is always sacred.

As I remember Terri, I also commit myself
to be active in the pro-life movement,
And never to stop defending life
Until all my brothers and sisters are protected,

And our nation once again becomes
A nation with liberty and justice
Not just for some, but for all,
Through Christ our Lord. Amen!

Happy St. Cuthbert Day

I stole this from a priest I know: If you want to pray for the aid of a great saint that may have lots of free time, pray for St. Cuthbert to intercede for you. I did a bit of research when He said this and sure enough Cuthbert was a English monk who was a very holy man. I have grown to appreciate St. Cuthbert more as I get older and hopefully wiser.

Did you know that St. Patrick was Scottish? He was kidnapped and taken into slavery into Ireland. He briefly escaped and came back to convert the pagans and chase out the snakes (I always laugh when people take latter literally).

Bill the Terminator

Ahhhhhh! Bill the Terminator is going to get us!

Zap! Bam! Boom!

















Terminated!

Now that I have a new camera, the kids want to see pictures of themselves doing things like jumping off chairs or pretending to be dead. The two seemed to go well together with the red eyes and all. I thought it would be nice to post pics of Bill after I mentioned him in the previous blog.
