We've had a long, hard road to travel in recovering from our children's births. --- 5 -- A couple months ago, there was a tragedy in my neck of the woods. A man carjacked and kidnapped a mother and daughter. He tied up the mother and raped the daughter. The mother escaped and got the man's attention so the daughter could run away. The mother was murdered. The daughter is safe. The man is in prison, apparently having a hard time. The mother clearly sacrificed herself ...http://syrophoenicianwoman.blogspot.com/2013/05/7-quick-takes-7-warrior-momma-edition.html
Protecting Life in a Neonatal Wing ASSOCIATION OF CATHOLIC WOMEN BLOGGERS - May 15, 2013 ... labour for hours, only to push out a dead baby. The pain in that wing of the hospital was tangible. Tears ran down women's' faces as they grieved with their neighbour. It did not matter that none of us had even glimpsed her face. Nurses as well as patients mourned for a sister who was loosing her newborn. I became so nauseated with the awful vibes that pressed in on me that I ended up retching over the side of my bed with ice packs on my head to relieve a migraine. Thank God, ...http://associationofcatholicwomenbloggers.blogspot.com/2013/05/protecting-life-in-neonatal-wing_3773.html

There are two particularly grisly tales in the news in which dead babies are prominent: the trial in Philadelphia of abortionist Dr Kermit Gosnell, who was convicted of murder for killing babies outside the womb, and here in Ohio, the arrest of Ariel Castro, accused of kidnapping, then imprisoning for over a decade, three young women, who were subjected to repeated rapes and beatings. The prosecutor has announced that he will seek the ...http://caelumetterra.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/a-divided-mind/

Hollywood types are so out of touch with caring about others for the sake of ratings that the entire business is a giant sociopath.

You may remember a post I wrote a few years ago entitled " A Corner of the Veil ." It was about my mother, Sophie Kavanagh MacRae, who died on November 5, 2006 during my 12th year in prison. That hasn't stopped her from visiting, however. I had a strange dream about her a few nights ago, and I keep going back to it trying to find some meaning that at first eluded me.

Jesus said, "I'm the one you really want. So torture me. So kill me." This is a God I can believe in. This is a God I can try to dedicate my life, heart, mind, and soul to. This God doesn't require bloodshed, but offers himself up as a lamb to be slaughtered — precisely to avoid the bloodshed of those he loves the most. So that's what I've been up to these ...http://vox-nova.com/2013/05/07/better-not-to-believe/

"If you're openly living in unrepentant sin, whatever it may be, I believe that's walking in open rebellion to God and Jesus Christ." So long as we're clear that we're talking about a lifestyle which includes or is centered around homosexual sex acts, then yes, Christians believe that's a sin. Sure, there are Christians who have "evolved" away from that ...http://redcardigan.blogspot.com/2013/04/stating-obvious.html
May a Month for Life (Easter 5C) HOMILIES AND OCCASIONAL THOUGHTS - April 28, 2013 I have a question for you. Please answer out loud in one word: "Has Jesus Christ risen from the dead?"

In other words, how does your faith in the Resurrection change things for you? Would the next seven days or the next four weeks be any different if you didn't believe Jesus had risen from ...http://gregorynsmith.blogspot.com/2013/04/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none_6288.html

But after seeing his face over and over my motherly instincts kept creeping in, even though I desperately kept trying to push them away. I kept thinking about how young he looked.

Charlotte Dumas' Poignant Animal Photography FRESHLY PRESSED: EDITORS' PICKS - April 9, 2013 ... researchers are coming to the conclusion that animals not only grieve, but in some cases grieve deeply. That's an easy case to make by simple observation, but not in any other way. When you're working with animals, there's no possibility of the self-reporting that is so central a part of studies of human psychology. But when it comes to the beasts, those observations might be enough. There are the elephants that hold what appear to be wakes for their dead ...http://lightbox.time.com/2013/04/09/the-heart-of-a-beast-charlotte-dumas-poignant-animal-photography/

The teaching of the resurrection from the dead of Jesus and our own future resurrection is undeniably hard teaching to grasp. Yesterday, we heard in the account of the Marys at the tomb. One of the Marys, that of Magdala, is known as the Apostle to the Apostles. Below are three paragraphs on the subject from today's Wednesday General Audience of Pope Francis. I am sure some will raise the issue that the Pope is not ...http://communio.stblogs.org/2013/04/women-in-the-new-testament.html

"This is because, according to the Jewish Law of the time, women and children were not considered reliable, credible witnesses. In the Gospels, however, women have a primary, fundamental role. Here we can see an argument in favor of the historicity of the Resurrection: if it were a invented, in the context of that time it would not have been linked to the testimony of women. Instead, the evangelists simply narrate ...http://www.news.va/en/news/audience-the-fundamental-role-of-women-in-the-chur
