Morning Glory whether gay a point in Midland take on this day here in our nation's capital clouds this morning with the high end. Of the Guadalupe radio network this morning for our listeners on he did have an Earth radio in Fairbanks Alaska a frigid one with the high and heading for those in that region for the in the great state of the. To make out the Community Radio National I'm saying with a high of 81 so I have been reading I've read a lot of different periodicals because I need to know what the other side is saying and this is a big move now to decriminalize what they call sex work but we know it's prostitution and there's an essential to change transgender rights and I was really taken aback by reading this article basically saying because these men who dress as women feel fear when police approached them because they look like street walkers and they're like well because of this fear and discomfort we need to legalize they call it sex work and I think the whole thing is just absurd that the idea is well because police think we look like prostitutes we therefore need to make sure. Prostitution is legal I mean I kid you not this is literally the argument in the article and they say this is central to liberation and we have to we have to stop that number one because it's not good for anybody you know prostitution whether they make a difference of decriminalizing or legalizing either way prostitution harms the human person this is not a means of liberation and we need to be ready to to say that to defend that I mean we're going to have great secrets you want to talk about there's no bell about stopping trafficking using online resources but then on the other side of you have groups of people trying to decriminalize and legalize prostitution that undercuts bills bills like this because the whole idea of trafficking and sex trafficking won't be something that criminalized or. Could be legal I mean I'm very worried about it it also true the situation that whenever this topic comes up people who are of the same time and different ground working on this whole issue of human trafficking and states where they try to leave trees or they try to legalize prostitution these children who are being so. You know human slavery and human trafficking they get snatched up and I don't. I mean when they go in to legalize you know yeah I work but there's no way for the police to go after and rescue these kids when I find them but you're right nobody's looking I mean nobody has to look now because if it's as legalized no one needs to look so when you when you start to do that that the red flags that would normally trip people to go look well it's legal so that it's like it's it's it's just defeatist if you ask me and we know that legalization doesn't mean that it's right just look at the Roe v Wade decision that legalized abortion in the United States that doesn't mean that it's ethically right or morally right it's just exactly legal and they use the same kinds of arguments emotional arguments like that they are harmed when they are profiled by police as quote unquote sex workers I hate that term sex workers prostitution and the article really what was interesting to me is that the article goes in and talks about how they're trapped in sex work and I'm like but how is legalizing prostitution going to release you from it or be good for me and for you so you read the article and you're like there's a lot of jumbled thinking here but we need to be ready to answer that because it harms everyone and it is destructive of the human person and we can never ever forget that we should never allow someone's body to be abused in this way as a legal means of making ends meet that's just and as an intercessor for purity in our society I think St Joseph is certainly a great example father today we begin the month of Saint Joseph but we do many people have been you know maybe started. Being a. You know Beach and always has that on the website the devotion kind of Saint Joseph I was encourage people be doing Michael's we're going to have a big city just as they all church here in the parish you got this committee working on it because same trees are always encourage people she said you know after she was cured by this intersection she'd huge devotion. And she encouraged other people to devotion to him too and he needed more than ever he loved to talk about it just because because the computed with gender and the confusion and how people feel that reestablishing a healthy relationship with a good man my exchange shows up as a father figure and as a protector it's so important you're somebody that guy can trust our Lady and the Christ child too so when you are trying to human dignity when you're trying to get a family when you're trying to help people who are wounded by their experience of the family in St Joseph is a powerful reason I would say never knew anyone who had devotion to him he did not experience the effect of his care so should there people I am back in the day and still have it is ready in time but I still have a desert think Joseph cord you can wear and I think show that and it's very chatty special protection final perseverance and for instance at the hour of death and it has a knot in 7 knots at the other end but anyway I bring this up because I think that Cohen and I think those of core and the and Alec warfare they give out a core and so there's an element of. The deal with purity and I get these and these are I think major attacks on as it you know in our culture play on the fact that we can keep it that we have that weakness of the flash but the church has so many Sacramento's and aids for and chiefly prayer let's be real chiefly prayer and I want to thank him back and silly and I think we should make use of them in Colorado our friends the things I think for now I rely on sages of heavenly Father Well it's an amazing inner sense supercar I was going about to lose you know the time of the Batek and it's having more training. Because all of Italy and the rest of the world and for you know the need for this powerful prayer is you know ultimately exorcism is a form of that sacramental you know this church points out that there was more trade it was going to get Russia going to you know an exorcism and still you. No the need for prayer works or should people today you know whatever their struggles are it's great.

Joining us for Morning Glory as we begin the month of March it's March 1st Thursday in the 2nd week of Lent father Mark is scheduled to be celebrated for Holy Mass from Our Lady angels chapel right after morning glory here on Radio Good morning I'm Brian Patrick along with Laurie purchase good morning the police and Murphy is our producer and our godly counsel joining us by phone today from Sacred Heart of Jesus parish in Winchester Virginia father Bjorn Lomberg excited to welcome back great friend a morning glory in the respect like director of the diocese of Arlington and a good friend from my days of the great Amy how are you I am well there how are you going to hear your voice I guess is good to hear your voice the power of technology I'm excited to hear you talking about mercy the power of mercy in allowing our Lord to. Respect Life you talk to a lot of people been wounded by that culture you know. People think about healing exactly you know I would I wanted to share an experience that that kind of brought this home to me just trying to be a good girl trying to work out and I went to the channel and sure enough. You know keeping my title as the world's most like human being I wrenched my shoulder and it up in physical therapy and so I went to physical therapy and you know they they touchy here and if you get that hurt here and you say yeah just heard when you get hurt more where you say hurts the most as you get a Gaggia and when they are iron clad I don't know not on your right and so I think I'm a lot of people and physical can be and I mean them beautiful homily I heard the last year on Divine Mercy Sunday in which others Kelly I was talking about the power of mercy and how they'll because I. The father gives us free will He offers us mercy but he doesn't force us on it don't force it on us and so we have to say yes to that mercy we have to he said Let Jesus touch our wounds and I when I heard the homily thought well that sounds nice but I really didn't realize what he meant so I am laying on the table of physical therapy his gal is. Going at the part that hurts the most appears in my eyes and the idea came back to me and I thought what is she doing she's breaking up the scar tissue he's increasing the circulation Well you know you stick through that and pretty soon my shoulder wasn't frozen anymore I was Ok I did not go back to the rowing. But the point came home to me and this power of mercy so what the physical therapist did for my shoulder are our merciful Lord will do for our souls if we touch me here that he will wait for us to accept his invitation and I just thank you and the time of beautiful season of Lent to meditate on the invitation to mercy . Gives me great joy Well what if one of things I would think about as you were talking is you know I remember going on a retreat and we were all lining up for confession and there was one lady that was like look I'm too much like Mary Magdalen I just can't go in there we were like No no go go go but she just didn't want to face what she had done and so I thought it was such a good analogy to describe because sometimes we have we have to name the Ok you got to go in and they made you know you can have the priest in there Gaston you know we don't. Really like one of them but they're. You know out of you have to name it you have to admit in own the sin I mean and admit that you're sorry for some people that extremely frightening people but on the other end of that is. The ration Exactly and I think that there are other space hippie wants us to be afraid of our scent he wants us to be afraid to name them he wants us to be afraid to go to confession and we know that fear is not of and we don't we father in a pro-life movement because abortion for so many of us they hating act the sacred Can I was talking to one of the amazing people who work in that parish ministry yesterday and they were talking about the resources they hand out during 40 days on the she said leaky of the pregnancy resources for the whole northern Virginia area and not just the ones near and the overhead of the clinic because women choose an abortion clinic part of their home they don't want to be there telling and so it's been a beginning it's a it's but for hiding or lying you know like nothing new under the sun right right what did Adam and Eve give 1st thing they did and I had from our Lord like at that work out you know them if they knew they were there. To go but when you work in the pro-life movement you know that they're on the best piece of ice we've got our seminary training was when another director opens for the pro-life voters for our region had said to us you know as a priest when you work in a parish or in a congregation you've got to take for granted that there's a substantial number of people that you're going to be speaking to this who are wounded by this who are carrying this around and if they think God can't forgive them or they think they're done something that is bigger than God's mercy this hold them back so on one level you want to be like that physical therapist and say you know Ok there's a place that's rooted and God wants to you know that will do and you just try to encourage them to take the 1st step should know that God is available you know that he'll be there and even in the confessional you know sort of thing you are willing to ask questions of authority say look are you ready to start you want to. Walk you through it was a. You know it's kind of I guess like they're just trying to find where is the pain and that's it just go for the juggler. But at least begin to. See if you will you know we are talking about abortion but I have to say that even when you talk about trying to turn your life and live it cries you going to find that a lot of people have been touched by I mean just the sin of using artificial contraception you know and not the medicinal purposes only You'll be surprised how widespread that is how widespread sterilization this is so you're going to find and sterilization of when you start to talk about that people like that I can't come back from that you know I've done this to my body and so how do you how do you go how do I go and confess it then when I can't go and get the surgery to repair because I can't afford it you know also you're right people you know when you can but you're not obligated by the church to do that you know surgery you know even though that's a huge life changing decision you know in the context of the sacrum reconciliation when you're in special sterilization you know. If you will they can come back and it's not the Church of God is closing the door that can be forgiven as well you know that's an important to point out and I think put a lot of people don't realize ins especially mayor male sterilization really opens the door to a very loose lifestyle a lot of men and a lot of sin and I'm glad you said that Brian and I don't think people recognize that I mean you're right because there's really no consequence then for a man after you know. The chance of a child isn't there so what what might give them pause to think about this on them gift that they have so I do think there is a consequence maybe not physical not at 1st but there is a consequence deep in our souls and we are because the law is written on our hearts we are the fire that we get away from him the more restless we are I can attest to that personally I'm just so cool. Mostly Anyway that's of course the answer to all these things so thank you for being in studio going to tackle doubts about. God's mercy now you've seen that in your life and there's going to be world but also in your ministry as director of respect what ministry for the diocese aren't Thanks. Amy it's great to see you and as we are not afraid to experience some pain based on that conversation father is going to go a little deeper and says Don't be afraid to be miserable That's next after Catholic chatter now a 25 after Here's Elisa we heard from Mark this morning so I could hear a nice voice on the airwaves and he very much loved your work with human light action happy about your new role with the respect life ministry and he hopes your shoulder feels better and we heard from Mary and he's very happy your father Bjorn's voice on the airwaves this morning and during this month of Saint Joan said and I think she's writing a hash tag hash tag fine with Father beyond I'm the mystic if I mention her name and address is misery this morning yes a great priest who used to work in the d.c. Area father Ron Ellis passed away a number of years ago and he was a cheerful guy and hardworking and he could try to sneak up on you and trick you to dive into a greater spiritual life and he had this great line don't be afraid to be miserable a lot of times in life we tend to think that you know whether it's land or making a change in our spiritual life oh my gosh we're going to climb up none it's going to be so hard and the reality is whether it's our pain over our sins or fear somehow God in a way we don't understand we're free to take that step back to we're going to direction appealing to move in the direction of grace and so to begin the struggle is really the most important thing is a lot because we are struggling against ourselves and our against our pensions our weaknesses will win it because in the long run this is where freedom comes from God wants us to have the freedom of big sons and daughters of God to know that were baptized and know that God is with us and so a lot of times people can be afraid. I think I got you to take on some heroic sacrifice or some massive change that I'm not capable of killing but that's not the point the point is just to begin the struggle to turn to God and say I want to on my sim I'm ready to come back to the sack Americans and I'm ready to take that 1st step and God like the father in a prodigal son rushes him and he puts a ring on our finger and he embraces us and he says let's celebrate the peace because my child is back and so I hope and joy do come along with the struggle whether it's the physical therapist who's trying is any prickly trying to find out where the pain is so that we can begin working on relieving the pain and healing the world and it looking forward there's a little bit of aching as there's a little bit of struggle but it's not the end of the world and the devil just wants to keep as demonized and isolated from home cut off from God cut off from our family our friends and our strength and so. That's the secret to men that's a secret to Joy certainly there was misery on the cross for Jesus but he did that for the joy set before him so that's a good reminder for us as we are in the 2nd week of Lent Thursday the 1st of March Congress has passed that anti-sex least on the health side Dr Tracy Christie senior advisor to Camp Association will join us to discuss that bill and we have other news next this morning glory continues now at 28 after the hour on the e.w.t.n. Global Catholic radio. Catholic from the start because every new morning is again. To bring meditation Thursday of the 2nd week of Lent is one that's meant today I think by all Lord a bit of the cake in the pants if I may put it that way the little quotation that the church uses for today is from the parable of the rich man and last and the rich man died and went to hell in the parable and he's having a very difficult time in hell and he says to Abraham remember this is a parable that our Lord taught he says to Abraham send Lazarus to warn my brother we're all in business together well as the rest go tell them not to be so worldly not to be living high on the hog not to be taking care of the poor and Abraham says they have noses and the prophets let them listen to them. But the rich man said No father Abraham but if someone goes to them from the dead they will repent. And Abraham said back to him and they don't listen to Moses and the prominence neither will they be condensed as someone should come back from the dead all these words how or what we must do to and return to life and do we believe in them do we take them seriously. We take the words of Christ seriously especially his Arab which tell us to pray incessantly to pray fervently to hold give to love the poor to the generous Do we take them seriously. Because. The one who said these words has risen from the dead.

And the president pays tribute to the Reverend Billy Graham his body lies in honor this morning at the u.s. Capitol everywhere we went Reverend Graham delivered the same beautiful message God loves you that was his message God loves you the funeral for Reverend Billy Graham is tomorrow in North Carolina President Trump is expected to attend the Catholic Association praises the House for passing a new anti sex trafficking bill making it easier for attorneys general and prosecutors to sue the websites that host advertisements for prostitution Dr Gracie Christie a physician and about her a 5 a senior policy adviser to the Catholic Association joining us by phone from Miami today Dr Gracie Good morning good morning to you outlining this bill for us what it would accomplish and why the Catholic Association supports it. That thing that it wants that want to close a loophole that allows. To you not be legally liable to be liable when they know that sex trafficking is going on on their page it. Goes back to the fact that. Prostitution that always that I'm a colleague and sort of trafficking and. And the last few years back. Downtown and into the web page it. Internet and so this is trying to close that loophole is it possible to enforce this kind of legislation. It is people who are pushing bad guys are saying that it will dampen the freedom of the Internet but the fact is is that you know a few years ago they were they did a study and over 73 percent about 73 percent of the cases of traffic children and minors boys and girls was happening on one single job site that called Back Page dot com who knew very well that this was going on how can we be part of this idea of protecting children from this kind of sexual exploitation. But of course we have to be very aware that it's going on all around this is sort of an underworld in our culture that is present everywhere we go it's a little scary when you stop and think about it it's like we live in 2 separate universes but there is an underworld where people girls boys women and men are being trafficked abused sold over and over on line we have to be cognizant of this and then keep our eyes open even we can where we can spot the abuse going on it might be going on next door or in the school where our children attend Dr Gracie Christie policy adviser to the Catholic Association Greece are you confident that this bill will get through the Senate and be signed by the president. I think some form of this will the Department of Justice has weighed in against it. So they have a quibble with the with the wording of the law they want to make sure that it's constitutional and they can see that it can be applied properly so I'm all for that because in the end we want laws that actually do attack the problem and don't just make people liable who shouldn't be liable and a quick reminder to our listeners of what the Catholic associations mission is. So we're an association of people that are hoping to inject ourselves in the media narrative anytime that that's where the church can be effective. You know we hold the church's teaching and especially and religious liberty and of quite human trafficking it confined to everybody but especially I think a Catholic to Christian to understand that it's that a tremendous violation of human. But we appreciate the good work of the Catholic Association and it's always fun to have you on the show Gracie thanks for joining us this morning wonderful caregiver Thank you I 36 after the hour now and a pair of shoplifting suspects running from Peoria Illinois police scale a fence trying to get away only to land in the parking lot of the police station security video shows them trying to hide under a bench outside the police station of course they are under arrest charged with shoplifting that's nothing in a critical public safety building along with drug offenses so apparently they were a little bit I to get into their adventure Their makes work a little easy I guess they they come the criminals come to you. In n.h.l.

Morning Glory weather chilly in the Midwest for your Thursday in Grand Rapids a sunny day reaching out I have 40 to this ng in Tinian on Holy Family Radio this morning in Melbourne Florida a sunny day reaching a high of 82 there's running on time Divine Mercy radio and in Houston rain today under storms for those of the Guadalupe radio network with a high of 76 so the. That commandment is really about Connel can keep a sense and if you like what it can keep it since it's basically our inclination to send it we got that because of original sin Connell thank you percents really is dealing with lust or that I lust of the heart lust of the eyes all those things it's God. What should be beautiful good and holy sort of twisted up because we are looking at people as who they are will get them Rather it's how they can serve as in terms of giving as pleasure now one of the things that we need to think about with this lust of the flesh is that to me it goes greatly against the 6 beatitude which is the Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God So really by breaking that command where consigning ourselves to never seeing God which is why I'd have enough to be active in vision that's what we want that's the goal of our life and it's a quite a serious and although people I think tend to play it down so much in our society I remember way back in the day when I was in college I had a roommate that love the soap operas right and so I happened to walk into our living room because we were campus in an apartment and I was appalled by what was playing on the soap opera how explicit the encounters were between men and women the state of undress on daytime television I mean I remember just getting off I'd up a mad and she was acting like an old lady but I was like you know this is really normalizing what should be private behavior between a man and his wife and she was rolling their eyes at me and I just was so fired up and it made me think the more that we are guarded and watching television the more these kinds of things become normalized to us and that's a shame it's a shame that it becomes normal that we think that these things that are very private we should have our eyes into it so what does that do to us I think it tends to morrow I also tend to think it makes that rouses and as the. Connel lust and I've always wondered why in the movies as of late is that a good story talent is just a bunch of flash and I'm like whenever I see movies like that I'm like This is trash and this is a writer that cannot write you should be able to tell a story without having to appeal to people's faces desires or to manipulate people's faces desires to sell tickets but that's what we are and that also is a violation of the command because what they're arousing and what they're hoping to sell tickets is to arouse and that's carnal can't keep us in this lust and we have to be worried we have to be on guard and I say how much are we willing to say you know what as soon as that comes on the television we will just turn off the t.v. And walk away I mean as I'm trying to teach my daughter about things and teach about the 9th Commandment we talk to her about if you hear or see something bad on t.v. Not that we let her watch t.v. But you know we got grandparents. And I try to play in them but we say they have played prayer and run and you know I'm like you know and that's good advice for all of us when you see something that you know is a challenge to you or you know is the beginning of leading you into the pit say a prayer and run Why would we stay around and say oh maybe it's a good bad are you allowing it into your eyes you're allowing it into your heart and from the heart that is corrupted comes these sinful thoughts adultery fornication murder all these things that we need to be guarding our eyes and our senses and those of us ya know I always preach on modesty we need to also dress miles modestly so we don't cause a brother or sister to fall into the sin of last which is forbidden by the 9th Commandment So as I wrap what I'm going to say is weighed by the 9th Commandment are invited to see the human person as a person and to have right relationship with them and to not use them and see them as just a means to my pleasure and so if we could today think about that and maybe pray about that and maybe even 6 in the system. It's from a priest and trying to purify our hearts I think down take us a long way. And we worry about how to deal with this problem the 9th commandment and our culture takes a stance and a scandal and a point to change it really take steps to victory actually overcome this power the lust of the flesh and it's kind of steps to God if we can even run we take a step in the movie What About Bob Richard Dreyfus plays the successful the arrogant psychotherapist who was tortured on vacation when his obsessive compulsive patient Bill Mary was completely erratic comes and follows him around and ruins his time not to be a funny movie but the mantra that drives house from its work is baby steps baby steps it's great advice but he's too arrogant to really let it so if we want to have confidence in God If we really want to trust him to make a change to overcome the lust of the flesh in the back how does confidence lead us to what we hear is a narrow gate a little way well the narrow gate he says leads to life and it's for those who become like children when it's a cycle to ask it was the greatest thinking about I'm going to take the child I'm supposed unless you become like this child you will enter the kingdom of heaven so you want to humble ourselves he wanted that we have this week because there's less to the flesh the struggle but we need to love our weakness at times trying to say that we're little we need and we're dependent our culture as you say I can do whatever I want I'm all powerful that we can recognize that we're little that we're small God loves us in the way we are he will transform this because you melody is like a magnet for God It draws down pouring the plugs of grace from God So baby steps in humility can lead us to confession and it is sick knowledge or weakness so we can gently see that they said it once or lead us into the light lead us into it treat you to seeing the grand and glorious face when you mention one of our favorite movies and. I would like that like you know this is performance and that was really good father is now one thing about the steps and the point that he was he. That was his whole thing take baby steps but he was too arrogant to do it himself. You know this. Is a ridiculous story. Point but I like when you talk about babies that's because it's true we can feel so defeated they were not already day air and I remember the 1st time it when I was really really getting deeper into the spiritual life to realize it is your life's work to pursue wholly that it is not going to be yeah I got it now I never got to worry about it again I was like oh my lord you know do I have the strength to persevere in this and we after a member of the dads crazy as you do yes you can so we're going to be talking with our break we. Are also friends they respect life as an Arlington dies this isn't a project Rachael video that they have out and it is magnificent I can't wait to talk about it next I say to and here morning to hear about magic. Every new morning. This morning glory. Worth watching other Dominick like in this season of Lent we look to Christ on the cross to be our savior and. Christ on the cross is one of the most important things we can do this Lent if you want an example of the Berkshires of the Christian life you will find the most perfect. Example of charity because Rader love than this no one has to lay down their life for his friends and that's what Jesus did for us an example of patience Christ was perfectly innocent but he took up the suffering of the cross for our sake humility the one who is all powerful who. Became even unto death and of course obedience to the Father's will know about contempt for early pleasures left behind. I know all the good things of this life. So you're up to date on the latest t.v. And radio shows books C.D.'s and D.V.D.'s from Berlin just can't log when you sign up for weeks our weekly e.u. Sweater get police today e.w.t.n. . From the sunrise morning playing you have a blessed day and a holy Lenten season. 4 of the. Morning. And it's 15 minutes to the top of the hour you listen to morning glory live accomodate you for the Guadeloupe be studios in Washington d.c. And then there is they March 1st 2018 and the 2nd week of lip. Service My co-host is Brian Paddick our producer is Alisa Marquis and I got a counselor to be online for pastors Sacred Heart Church and Winchester Virginia and we're joined in studio by 2 red brown poll she's the executive director of the office. Of marriage and family life and respect life for the diet it's a violent and good morning to read Good morning Gloria good morning Brian. So I have to tell you I watched the new project Rachel video and I was really touched for a number of reasons number one how authentic it is and I know the people in the video many of the people in the video so they testimonies are just so powerful because I know these women but there are 10 take testimonies How did that come about. You know it's funny I was thinking as you were talking because. Devastating consequences of our promiscuous culture is abortion. And we project Rachel is a part of the family marriage respect life office and that is the outreach to those who are suffering after abortion and so we're always looking for new ways to tell the women who have had abortions that. You are loved forgiveness is possible. Bigger than any sin and. What better way to do that. I mean to create a video and we invited these 3 courageous women in their stories and you know it's funny because it's not just that they've had some of them had one abortion but some of them has had many abortion yes and that's a common thing that you will see when someone has one abortion they often have 2 and 3 and then so then what happens is Ok God can never forgive me for one abortion I certainly never to and then multiple There's no way I have no chance at redemption because not only will God never forgive me I will never forgive myself. When I was watching the video I wanted to tag it with that shout your abortion tag because the other side has tried to paint abortion as a liberating thing that you know it's. Make you feel better women that you'll be free of this really touched me is the one part of the video the woman had abortions such a long time ago but she still wanted her face covered in she was still working through the shame of it and that's a really touching. For a lot of people you know. Bush in is wrong but I don't think people really get how damaging it can be for some women and in particular that woman who while talking about her healing was still wanted her face kind. In darkness she didn't want to necessarily be seen how did you get her to be willing to go on video and have her voice heard you know that's a really good question and she had to pray about it she had to think about it because you are putting yourself out there you're putting you're putting your pain out there and then Yes and you feel shame we look at her and go oh courage you're here and because you're going to do as John Paul a 2nd said in and you're going to to use this and you're going to help other women women to come to healing and I should add that that's not always possible for women so I'm not saying Not every woman is capable of telling her story publicly and I think that's something that we need to know but when you can tell your story and you can bring other women you know to to be able to come to light and I say you know darkness into light I was once on. Retreat and after this woman coming in and and Friday night her face is Paris and her face turned her eyes she can't even you know there's such pain there and on Sunday after the weekend retreat after she had a chance to talk to the priest and she like a different person you can see it and I think that whole idea that the one woman Andy in the video has said it's from darkness into light and you said it before Gloria naming your brings freedom that is the freedom and then you bring it to the priest and he he gives you the absolution to the you know his voice you hear the Lord you are free going peace you know and father Lundberg I think has a question for you yeah of course there is your work in the Richard ministry is so important. If you're telling people that this is actually. People going to this choice you know you don't do this is not. Coming this concept of project ritual and what it is well now I stumbled into this video are just good act aren't you. Puter and I was chatting to somebody and I started to play it and interview this person Carrie transfixed they're watching this and as the woman we're going to we're speaking you know she would just you know look it's just not exactly yes. It's going to be. Somebody. You're someone it's like you know it's not those they call the number or email or check the Web site which is a great resource but to be able to instantly show somebody video and they see to witness a mercy case you know witness of people it's amazing thank you Father Yeah.

It's just saying you know we're out there we can help and I just also want to say we can also help men it's called Project Rachel but it certainly is men have so many versions on the theme because maybe you didn't even want the abortion but one common thing that men often say to women is it's up to you it's up to you and so what do you think the woman hears when the man says. I want to. Actually come out of the I'm out of it let me just for those who are let's say we're going to have to wrap on this can you stress that this is confidential like they are going to come in they're not going to be cameras that spotlight the whole bunch of people they all tell you that it is confidential to go to project Rachael Ray thanks so much for bringing that up absolutely everything is confidential there is no I mean whoever you speak with.

With the Lori long ride home center today at 6 pm Eastern on e.w.t.n. . True. Hello and welcome to this segment of the crux of the matter I'm Father Wade Mini's is of the fathers of mercy and Catholic sacramental theology the mass is to be seen as both a sacrifice and a meal Unfortunately however in modern times it often seems that the sacrificial nature of the mass is either lost ignored or at least downplayed as committed Catholics we have a duty to possess and help foster a balanced view of the reality of the mass as both sacrifice and banquet and the best of banquets at that to use imagery in the Book of Revelation only mass rape presents that is it makes present again the one sacrificial act of our Lord Jesus Christ having died on the cross to redeem us in his 965 and sickle in a serial Popal the 6 states that by means of the mystery of the Eucharist the sacrifice of the cross which was once offered on Calvary is a marvelously Rian active and it saving power is constantly recalled and applied for the forgiveness of those sins which we daily commit well stated pope all the 6 Holy Mass all those celebrated daily through and through out the world does not possess a theology in which we crucify our blessed Lord over and over again as some non Catholics tend to believe that we believe rather holy mass makes present again the one saving action of our Lord on Calvary the Catechism of the Catholic Church sums this up nicely when it states the redemptive sacrifice of Christ is unique accomplished once for all the perfect sacrifice was Christ death on the cross by this sacrifice Christ accomplished our redemption as high priest of the new and eternal covenant the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Is can liberated and mysteriously may present in any Christic sacrifice of the gnats and that my friends is the crux of the matter other way nieces.
