Ok Welcome to the fold it congratulations you wisely became a card carrying they'd Catholic I am grateful to I gracious God for that and also for your inspiration to join the ranks of the hated persecuted lives understood degraded and discounted band of pro-life brothers and sisters you clipped have chosen the high road a decision for which you will never be sorry even though you will be persecuted from within and from without by those poor souls who have been so distracted or never disposed to listening to the inspiring message that life is sacred no matter what condition that life may find it no matter how inconvenient and futile others may consider it you are completely aware that this life any life was created by God for a purpose while the poor people decide that life is not a right you will stand to announce that life has been in l.a. In a bowl right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness no human being has the authority to decide otherwise while you will be surrounded by powers and principalities you will choose to stand to. Witness at every Calvary to the end aisle ation of the unborn the newborn and along born while you willingly stand on the devil's own ground your pro-life brothers and sisters will be at your side to lift you up with Powerful Prayers that rise like incense before the throne of God he sees every one of you listens to each whisper and loves you with in As for defending his innocent children this is the sterner stuff that martyrs are made out both martyrs called to blood red martyrdom whose blood waters the earth to remind all of the sanctity of each and every human life and Christ to heaven for justice and those called to white martyrdom Adelie dying to self or the other the other who is and always will be the Lord and give her up like. The ignorant blasts. You respond with the truth and laugh while the pathetic defile and degrade your Israel causes consternation and maybe even conviction in those hard hearts who misstate your desires to give hearts a flash and with every conversion a part caused by your witness to life cliff you will be the 1st to embrace each living betrayer as we all can be it time we stand to be stowed the mercy of God on the evil that has confused and paralyzed them in its grip entangled in it by. Abel has its endings clipped. But it will always live in the night. This is my. I way a good man to say with every fiber of my being 40 Days for Life is a stellar and effective way to courageously fight the good fight for life. Those 30 Days for Life turns 10 years old as a national and international movement this campaign started in college town Texas in 2007 I think yep that would be right and has now by the grace of God mighty spread to 715 cities and that would keep our country. At the present time they know of 13305 babies and I always add mothers who have been saved during their vigils. And many of their mothers visited pregnancy help centers that 40 Days for Life Balance Here's refer them to after they kills life on the sidewalk. Because this deal will save so many lives you can understand why demons despise the 40 Days for Life and pregnancy resource centers the Evil Empire is Planned Parenthood is often known as despises 40 days and pregnancy resource centers Planned Parenthood committed 328348 abortions in 28 teen nearly 5000 moer than the previous year. We the taxpayers gave them a half a $1000000000.00 in government funding to the tune about actually $554600000.00 up from $5553700000.00 the previous year when Obama was in power so you see a clip what you have set out to do with a few stones in a sling shot in your pocket against a massive evil Goliath is a really magnanimous. Step to take. Only magnanimous that is great sold people can make.

Focus the efforts that a lot of people had already started when it comes to sidewalk counseling and praying in front of abortion. Mills and I remember you know we had planned parenthood facility in Des Moines and our parish would be. When this 1st started we had a time that our parish would fill that we would go out to to the abortion clinic and pray the rosary and we were out there once in just this wonderful champion of the Catholic faith and champion of life Mr Bob herder who was you know this would have been 10 years ago or so and he was in his seventy's then I'm. Hoping that Bob is still with us and maybe he's even listening back in Des Moines I would say but he just. Gem of a human being and hopefully still is but we were praying the rosary. And a car like a 72 Pinto that was you know the rust was the old the thing holding it together and they came just tearing through the parking lot. You know a guy hanging out of the driver side a girl hanging out of the passenger side you know tattoos everywhere and just you know having that look about them just screaming every matter of obscenity you could even imagine just all over the top just vul Garrity spun around a couple times and tore off out of sight and I remember every member Bob Kerrey or he just turned around and looked at me and he said. Well that was a very positive. A. Result of is one of our biggest weapons it is to us it's just an unshakable resolve we will never stop now defending mice because Jen I don't know if everyone realizes this because I always didn't realize that when you I defend the night he was also and more importantly depending on the Lord and giver of life. It defending God's plan God Himself and His design so it's such an important thing today and I just prayed to God for pro lifers I really do I laid out here today is Sears and she's in Tempe Arizona listening only to b.t.n. Dot com Susan your other part of the Great in hi Suzanne well and thank you no she did it in my experience with for a date a light weight train had been hacked years ago during my aunt and I would have to be taken to I only homily that he had gone that year he didn't become involved with a 40 day life and I had a calling for them I felt like I did. Click on it a challenge and I have and you have been going through. Planned Parenthood and praying and it and I actually if I can go allocate one time and I don't like going without prior to going on my own and I know I did it a several year or you know a life and then I don't why am I out here only during the campaign and every night out here writing baby when I. Haven't really had a week of my own day that. I find and I let my rosary and it's. Become And I do know about it now I mean tag and out of my job to be accurate. Ah ploy that is wonderful and you're in a desert are you not. And if. We had had a little bit of it I would and had that. One carry on. And another one camera that would actually be opened and I won. It by my neighborhood and. I admire you so much Suzanne and I haven't been on the sidewalk as much as you have mind certain but one time we were outside it looks I Planned Parenthood is like a poetry. And there were lots of people and a priest was with us of course as always and this car it just ran right over the foot of one of the pro lifers and just kept spitting on knew that it happen and if everything was Ok everything was Ok but it just goes to show how much they need our prayer and just our help really if we can if we can even get a word in edgewise Yes. I agree with. Mailing it in anger directly am. I saying it is a con and they make. It through anger coming time. And they don't cry yes it's about you know what what is it that Saint Thomas says the 1st response to truth is anger. So when I would give any of my seminars and retreats I would I will always say that possibly something that I say today will make you angry possibly and dad's. Ok it's Ok because that means that you are on the road he was on the road your getting the grace to see and to face the. Reality tress you know Barbara I'd like to I'd like to get Susan's response to we have a viewer on Facebook lives named Jennifer and Jennifer says 40 Days for Life was how I became active in the pro-life community the work they do it takes a lot of courage to pray on the sidewalk but once you start you can't stop David but I absolutely agree with. Him and that relegation that what I am now and can had in mind in a debate. And Main Street. I know. That I had. Likely to be able to be. Going down me and it created a lot of value but I don't find myself out there now. And you know and I have why do it but I don't and it's all the water like you know maybe. I made it Hell you even going to be able to be as. Well again I didn't do anything can't they I don't love you dear hide I appreciate you coming and I really do and you know not everyone is cut to the sidewalks I mean not everyone is you know I mean work Jack and I are called to radio and you know people are called to all kinds of different ways t. Chain and that sort of thing and look at David to lighten I mean a he's in the next video. Goes to court. But it's beautiful that you know you have to listen to the con that's the last point isn't it. And then it's the most important thing to follow the car he now and natch because you don't want to straight God's plan you know where I got that I was reading this yesterday venerable salon is k.c. And out and they are with him but he said. We must be faithful to the present moment we will frustrate the plan of God for our lives and I when I read that you know you don't even think that in each present moment you know your yes or your know could either be doing the will of God or turning your back on it yes. So too Jack what do you think of that I thought that was powerful there's no question about it and I. Don't know what else I can add to that Barbara to be honest it can't be done that's no problem Susan thank you thank goodness for you we appreciate you calling us today and keep up the good fight sister. Thank you for having him play she had loudly to guide it over the line for you at 180-585-9396 toll free anywhere North America 180-585-9396 we'd like to hear your stories about being involved with 40 Days for Life you can find out more information about the organization at their website which is the number 40 the numeral for 0 Days for Life dot com That's 40 Days for Life dot com to tell you all about the great work that they're doing at 40 Days for Life and even involving the campaign there in California Barbara you know I have just attended a couple to be honest I am just too busy with radio it to be able and prep to be able to get out there but I really want to make another concerted effort to try to do that they have another one starting in September. I'm going to try to see if I can work that out so we can say we're 27th to November 5th to lead a campaign and you know really there are other things that are involved in this because most places will have some sort of a kickoff rally or some kind of a prayer rally and that can be a powerful experience for people as well and I lined up rally that's where I met Dr Steve and I was giving them a talk at their one. And up rally and here in Orange County and and that doctor stake in there and I wonder for husband Shiloh and just many wonderful people just just great great people David to lighten not at that particular thing that that was at another pro-life functions. You know what he just did recently Jack he asked the Supreme Court he's gone all the way to the Supreme Court were you aware of this he was he wants them to protect his free speech right to expose Planned Parenthood. It I mean. This guy is fearless and I and I because he has the greatest lawyers that you can imagine Katie short being one of them but he has taken his case now to the Supreme Court and the like Legal Defense Foundation today actually this would have been yesterday just yesterday he dialed a petition for writ of certiorari which that means that a higher court is taking a look at the case decision from a lower court and they of course are going to be reviewing the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that's what color they are going into the night. And in their decision the National Abortion Federation any act against Center for Medical Progress that David's group but it's just incredible I was when I saw that I just had to smile I thought Yes I mean they are working with the spirit you know and so why not why not go right to the to the time you know it's interesting because I had a great pleasure of meeting David briefly years ago to logout a summit and this was before the cases had the initial cases filed in the state of Texas this is before those cases had been dropped so you know he was under fire in a big way and just his. Is presence. That the spirit about him when he even resins it's remarkable It's so calm and he's just so polite and you know I mean we we had a wonderful conversation and he goes there now and. It was just wonderful but I think what is significant about this is his brilliant lawyers Katie short as I mentioned notes that knowing that are all appeals court has ever held a gag order because that's what they put on tape at a gaggle he can't release anymore or any that had already paid be asleep then when they take can't release anymore as well that was based on the alleged agreement of the parties to hide information that is a significant public interest and could say I mean come on they know they are hiding something they know what has been going on I want to hear your stories either the stories about how you participated in 40 Days for Life how 40 Days for Life may have impacted your life your thoughts on David delighted in the work that he does people like Laila rose that are doing undercover work in the abortion mills and maybe you don't think that's an ethical way to conduct yourself we love to hear from you as well the numbers 180589396 Open Line Tuesday with our very own pro-life warrior Barbara Milligan.

How can we help that they need thanks for coming Yeah well I just wanted to say before it is for life is up here. For years before that it got up here. But the ship leaves a procession with you Chris. One abortion the left in the city and the state. The last one in the state Wow. Interesting but I I mean I've been a cantor for same areas for years and they've had me cantering them same leading the same in everything when we get to the abortion mill and this last year there was an extra. Extra Grace saying that after we got there we had some people come in and started heckling while we were saying they're reading the 1st reading. I was shocked like I started shaking. Internally I just felt like I was being attacked spiritually and I'm not the only one that felt that after everything was all done there was multiple people that said that they say it's almost a demonic presence there in the by me started with a response or a little song. And it instantly stopped. And I even missed half of the verses. About was so shook up I missed half the verses but then after I got Donalds like General dad can use anything that we give him to work with to the fullest extent even if I make a mistake God is still using anything he takes the intent of you're there to try to save lives and the people who are happening to me were quiet. United anything that I have. Can imagine and I'd seen it myself so I know what you're talking about I seen it myself. It's a bit daunting I had spent running down my face one time and the man standing in front of me and they were banging on they can empty milk cartons in the plastic kind and bang on those sometimes and. It was kind of amazing he kept doing like a champ. Right in my face I was saying to him Marion. I had my rosary because I didn't want him to get any closer to me and I had my bros up like where between our faces put it that way and finally he just staring down staring down a bit I knew I was staring evil right in the face because it was that bad and he just suddenly turned on his heels and walked quickly away. So I always really. A as I like to he is our defender and you know I just. Brought this up Anthony just this morning I received an e-mail. Do you know Matt Maurice. Great Ok actually going to be up here . Are you going to see him. Really. Good night nurse that bad he is so amazing and I was and I think it was on a letter I think it was on that website how I finally got to his and I he's got a song Oh and I get the name of it's like God is my defense something like that and he talks about the Scripture where God says He put you to a fight he said now you stand here and I will take over that's kind of the basis for the song that he recently well. And it is. Beautiful God is our defense we don't attempt worry about proving things or you know just stepping out and I was having something to say he was and so I'm going to thank you God God like you're good man. Thank. You talked about the bishop leading the rosary March there bishop in Fargo is just down credible just an absolutely incredible. Shepherd and that's actually that song is called Lord I need you. Doesn't that when I heard today but it's a brand new one it's a brand new one lyric is in one of the verses. That you described as in one of the verses of that song as well this has I I know that song that is a great time what you just brought up but the one is this one is and I'll try to find it before we go out because it's Oh my goodness I've been to his concert jacket ever been to one well at the kind of occasion for Catholic leaders in Orlando we were treated to 90 minutes of met Mar not really sad all to ourselves. You know I'm really glad that I love the moderate side to my gayness at a very very close friends and I are godparents to each other's children. So good just let out I there just it was one of my happiest nights and I would suppose was with my daughter and and my son in law and a couple friends and it was just it's just so great but just watch it on Facebook live she says What can you tell someone who says why bring a baby into this world that's a very good question Linda and I'm so glad you asked it because I've been asked that question is so many times why would you bring a life into this mast. The reason is this you don't bring a child into the world of this or else you bring a child into the world for eternity to be with God and the present mother and all the angels and saints and all your loved ones for eternity that's why you bring children into the world certainly to know love and serve God That's where they will get can get dad and obviously you know that the world. It is just the be the During that part of the journey but that's not where we end up where we end up you bring children into the world so that they can gaze at the face of God when they die are there's also watching on Facebook live he says when people stand in front of abortion clinics and pray doesn't this go against what Jesus said about praying before men. Well I'm not a scripture scholar but what I would say Jackie he's preparing possibly to the scripture where God says go Jesus said Go aside go inside and pray in a room pray quietly but you see when you're talking about praying at an abortion clinic you are praying at Calvary I am sure the blessid mother and Saint John the only apostle who came back they all fled you know and it was the blasted mother and the holy women who stood beneath the cross until St John came back and so the whole idea is they were praying even then for the. Delaware old right isn't that the prayer the Divine Mercy prayer we pray for our sins and the sins of the world so I don't think you could apply that Scripture to praying outside of an abortion clinic because you are praying at Calvary and I don't think really Jesus was referring to praying before men he was referring to praying before men seeking adulation for doing that or a you are as exercising your spiritual authority or your spiritual prowess by letting people see you pray and I look and I don't know if I've certainly never been alongside anybody at an abortion mill pray who was out there to bring attention to themselves to line teenager you kid and now that's a good way to look at it to attack that is so trail that would be like a stair see right when he had all the ashes all. From and downcast and everything like that you know to show everybody they were fasting you know and not just in these situations but really in any situation anybody who hasn't experienced it to pray the rosary in a large group of people has such a powerful impact on every individual in the group good in this yes any tips you almost an addict piece you know you may have times when you have a list a whole list of things to do. And but you gotta get that Rouget him and you think but like I have so much but I'm not a younger stand don't you I have so much to do today and I see that I'm getting more and more spun up as I can.

Radio. K w c. Truth live carefully. Hello and welcome to this segment of the crux of the matter I'm Father Wade Mini's is of the fathers of mercy Sundays and holy days require of the Catholic Christian obligatory mass attendance Why is this precisely because we love God not because we fear him the 2nd Vatican Council teaches that the sacred liturgy is about all things the worship of the divine majesty God calls us to Himself and we want to respond to that with sacred worship apart from illness for example the Church teaches that the faithful are obliged to participate in the celebration of the sacred liturgy on all Sundays and only days of obligation this is a grave obligation in fact and to willfully neglect it can cause one to commit mortal sin in fact every Sunday is a holy day about with the Code of Canon Law states clearly that Sunday on which by Apostol a tradition the Pascal mystery is celebrated is to be observed in the universal church as the primary holy day of obligation other examples of holy days of obligation apart from Sunday itself include the solemnity of Mary Mother of God on January 1st the Assumption of Mary on August 15th and the immaculate conception of the blessing virgin on December 8th while there are other holy days of obligation established throughout the world such as the ascension of our Lord and the salinity of Corpus Christi national bishops conferences can dispense the faithful from the obligation for a just reason and even transfer a holy day to be observed on a Sunday as papal sons and daughters of the church then friends let us remember too that they fully attending Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation brings with it not only an observance of the 3rd commandment but also a faithful adherence to a formal precept of the church as well this is the crux of the matter God bless you and thanks for joining us.
