One Smart Doctor: BEST PRO-LIFE MESSAGE YET!
This just may be the best pro-life message yet.
A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:
Woman: Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.
Doctor: Ok and what do you want me to do?
Woman: I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.
The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady:
I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.
She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.
The Doctor continued: You see, in order for you not to have to take care 2 babies at the same time, let's kill your present one-year-old. This way, you could rest a little before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose to kill the one in your arms.
The lady was horrified and said:
Woman: No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!
Doctor: I agree.. But you seemed to be OK on killing your unborn child, so I thought maybe that you'd agree to kill the other one. I believe that what I propose, given your situation, is the best solution.
The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point. He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb.
The crime is the same!

Space which remains in you →
I often return
to the space which is Your Son, your first Son.
Then thought takes on His form
but the eyes remain empty -
and to the lips words return, the same words
which he put on
when he wanted to stay with us.
These self-same words enfold his space
better than sight,
better than memory and heart - oh, Mother,
then you are with Him again.
Bow down with me and take -
Your Son is...

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a nam whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.

Catholics are not bound to abstinence tomorrow →
schrenk:
Tomorrow is the Solemnity of the Annunciation. According to Canon 1251, “abstinence from meat … is to be observed … unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday.” As such, you are not bound to abstain from meat. (Of course, it goes without saying that you can still abstain if you want, but just know you’re not bound to it.)
Celebrate the conception of Our Lord by enjoying something a...
