Apr 30 Tue – Primary Election for U.S. Senator.
It has just been pointed out to me (I should have known) by Operation Rescue Boston and Massresistance that there really are no Pro-Life, Pro-Family candidates for the Massachusetts Senate Seat vacated by John Kerry.
Mike Sullivan has chased out all TEA Party and Pro-Life, Pro-Traditional Marriage supporters who helped him gather his candidate signatures, has surrounded himself with radical pro-homosexual, anti-DOMA, haters of Traditional values
Gabe Gomez is a new kind of Republican, a Democrat who donated to Obama’s campaign
Ed Markey is to the Left of everyone, and supports Marriage of himself with Planned Parenthood
Steve Lynch was actually a Pro-Life Democrat 25 years ago, but running for National Office while a Democrat means embracing certain positions.
What to do? There are a lot of people who believe in voting for the lesser of two (or three) evils. We think that reasoning is flawed and just leads to an overall shift to the left. On Tuesday, we intend to go into the voting booth and hand in a blank ballot. We suggest you consider doing the same. It sends a good message.
Sorry for the earlier recommendation of Sullivan, and the confusion.

Good Movie: ‘Frequency’ Like[1999’s] smash hit The Sixth Sense,Frequency is a human drama told against a paranormal backdrop, a story of two characters a generation apart in troubling circumstances who share a mysterious bond and who help one another in different ways.
Yet, where The Sixth Sense was overshadowed by the specter of death, Frequency is about life. This is a film about the legacy of fatherhood and the inheritance of sonship, about the unbreakable connection and the unbridgeable gap between one generation and the next. It is a celebration of masculinity, but it contemplates how men relate to women as an index of their manhood. This film believes in family; in the strength of fathers and the nurturing of mothers — qualities symbolized by the uniforms of firefighters or policemen and nurses. It also believes in baseball, especially the Amazin’ Mets of the ’69 Series. Most of all, Frequency touches upon the profound human longing to escape the constraints of time, to see the wrongs and mistakes of the past somehow set right, redeemed. – Stephen D. Greydanus

No Tours/No Golf
The so-called anti-discrimination ‘Bathroom Bill’ currently being debated in the Massachusetts Legislature allows boys or men who ‘feel’ they are a girl or woman to use women’s public locker rooms and bathrooms. Some legislators attempt to argue that this law will not affect public schools, but it will: Recently a group of State legislators met with Department of Education Commissioner Mitchel Chester. The Legislators attempted to explain that the legislative intent of the Transgender law excluded bathrooms and locker rooms from the changes to non- discrimination laws. Commissioner Chester rejected the explanation and has refused to withdraw the 11-page Guidance Document which includes bathrooms and locker rooms and discipline for students who complain. This Guidance document has received considerable local and national press including an Op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that was written by James Ehrhard who serves on the Tantasqua Regional School Committee in Sturbridge.
The nine-member legislative group called for the meeting because the Guidance document directs boys who think they are girls to use the girls’ bathroom and girls’ locker room. The Legislators contend that the law explicitly removed provisions that would allow this and that the Commissioner has gone beyond his legal authority. The Commissioner listened, but refuses to withdraw the Guidance.

“…modern catechesis to a large extent hardly mentions the concept of ‘eternal life’, and the problem of death is only touched upon, and then for the most part only in the context of how to delay its approach or mitigate its attendant conditions. Since many Christians have lost their sense for the ‘last things’, death is surrounded by silence, fear or the attempt to trivialize it. For centuries the Church has taught us to pray that death will not overtake us unawares, that we shall be given time to prepare for it; now, a sudden death is regarded as a blessing. If we do not accept and respect death, we do not accept and respect life either. “ Ratzinger Report, p.145

Good Movie: ‘I am David’, set in 1952 and based on the Danish fiction book written by Anne Holm in 1963. It tells the story of a young boy who, with the help of a prison guard, escapes from a Bulgarian Communist camp, and journeys to Denmark. It may seem hard for 12 year olds to read a book about escape from a concentration camp, but this is a very good story anyone 12 or older. Movie critic Stephen Greydanus writes “As the title suggests, I Am David wants us to experience David’s story through the eyes of a young boy who has never known anything but this camp…
He knows that one day he was taken aside and quietly told how to escape — to climb the electrified fence in the 30 seconds it would be shut down, and that beyond the fence he would find a stash of provisions for the journey to a ship that would take him to Italy, from which he should try to make his way to Denmark.
How the stash of provisions was planted beyond the fence, and why he should make his way to Denmark, David doesn’t know, and neither do we. His mind is a jumble of confused memories, and we piece his past together along with him. Writer-director Paul Feig (TV’s "Freaks and Geeks"), adapting the celebrated 1963 novel North to Freedom by Danish writer Anne Holm, shrewdly structures David’s journey as a puzzle, slowly reconstructing David’s past as he moves toward his future.

“…modern catechesis to a large extent hardly mentions the concept of ‘eternal life’, and the problem of death is only touched upon, and then for the most part only in the context of how to delay its approach or mitigate its attendant conditions. Since many Christians have lost their sense for the ‘last things’, death is surrounded by silence, fear or the attempt to trivialize it. For centuries the Church has taught us to pray that death will not overtake us unawares, that we shall be given time to prepare for it; now, a sudden death is regarded as a blessing. If we do not accept and respect death, we do not accept and respect life either. “ Ratzinger Report, p.145

“Sexual relations between a man and a woman are naturally and necessarily different from sexual relations between same-sex partners. This truth is part of the common sense of the human race. It was true before the existence of either Church or State, and it will continue to be true when there is no State of Illinois and no United States of America. A proposal to change this truth about marriage in civil law is less a threat to religion than it is an affront to human reason and the common good of society. It means we are all to pretend to accept something we know is physically impossible. The Legislature might just as well repeal the law of gravity.”

St. Paul's confirmation class, Sun. Feb. 3, 2013
The first reading this Sunday is from the Prophet Jeremiah,
"The word of the LORD came to me, saying: Before I formed [knit] you in the womb I knew you,before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you", has always struck me as a Pro-Life verse, especially when the Hebrew word 'yawtsar' or formed (as in formed or moulded in clay) is translated as knit (saw-kak' Psalm 139:13), because I think of the double-helix of our DNA, and realize that a Hebrew speaking prophet writing 2500 years ago attempting to convey the reality of God's handiwork in us really would understand the DNA as 'knitted' together.
Be that as it may, this class, coming 1 week after our post March for Life Class last week where we covered the opening remarks of Ruth Pakaluk in her debate on 'Human Rights and Abortion' with Planned Parenthood, which you can read here:
I want to continue the Pro-Life theme because our Catholic faith teaches that "From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person - among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life." - Catechism of the Catholic Church, CCC 2270. Our faith also teaches that the only unforgivable sin is to not ask for forgiveness. Obviously many people, including many Catholics in the United States, have supported abortion and have had or helped others to obtain an abortion. But as Jesus said after forgiving the sins of the adulterous woman, ‘go and sin no more.’
I had mentioned to the class that Genesis 9:6 is typically translated, “Whoso sheddeth the blood of man by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.“ but in Hebrew, the part, ‘man by man’, which is ‘adam ha adam’ can also be translated as ‘man in man’. So we could have Gen 9:6 as “Whoso sheddeth the blood of man in man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.”
This passage calls out the profound subtlety of the Hebrew language, and how this passage relates to abortion, but first some background.
The Mishnah or Mishna (Hebrew: משנה, "repetition", from the verb shanah שנה, or "to study and review, also "secondary"[1](derived from the adj. שני)) is the first major written redaction of the Jewish oral traditions called the "Oral Torah" and the first major work of Rabbinic Judaism. The two main commentaries on the Mishna are the Babylonian Talmud and the Yerushalmi Talmud.
Rabbi Ishmael or Ishmael ben Elisha (90-135 AD, Hebrew: רבי ישמעאל), who was a Tanna or rabbinic sage of the first and second centuries (third tannaitic generation) who wrote parts of the Misha. According to the Mishna Sanhedrin 57b, written by Rabbi Ishmael, Gen 9:6 can also be translated as “Whoso sheddeth the blood of man in man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.” But Rabbi Ishmael goes on, asking the question, “What is 'man in man”? He answers, ‘This is the foetus’. (Sanhedrin57b)
Other Jewish Traditions also call out the evil that is abortion.
Jewish Understanding of abortion:
Maimonides (Rambam) 1135-1204AD, the Mishnah, which was redacted circa 200 AD by Yehudah Ha-Nasi "Judah the Prince", is the first written recording of the Oral Torah of the Jewish people, as championed by the Pharisees, and as debated between 70-200 AD by the group of rabbinic sages known as the Tannaim and other Jewish sources permit a “self defense” exemption to the commandment not to kill when an abortion is performed to save the mother's life. However an inference is drawn from this that if the mother's life is not threatened, abortion is not in self defense.
The Tosafot are mediæval critical and explanatory glosses printed in almost all Talmud editions, on the outer margin and opposite Rashi's notes. Tosafot teaches that the majority of abortions are “a moral offense.” (Sanhedrin59a, Chullin 33a)
The Zohar is considered the most important work of Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism. It is a mystical commentary on the Torah (the five books of Moses), written in medieval Aramaic and medieval Hebrew. Zohar teaches in Shemat 3b, abortion “drives away the Shekhina (G_d's presence) from the world...For these abominations the Spirit of Holiness weeps.”
Rabbi Meir Simchah taught that abortion was punishable by “death at the hands of heaven” (Meshekh Chokhnash)
The Didache (80AD) Chap2 - 1. And the second commandment of the Teaching; 2. You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, Exodus 20:13-14 you shall not commit pæderasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, Exodus 20:15 you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is begotten. You shall not covet the things of your neighbour, Exodus 20:17 3. you shall not forswear yourself, Matthew 5:34 you shall not bear false witness, Exodus 20:16 you shall not speak evil, you shall bear no grudge.
The early Christians are the first on record as having pronounced abortion to be the murder of human beings, for their public apologists, Athenagoras, Tertullian, and Minutius Felix (Eschbach, "Disp. Phys.", Disp. iii), to refute the slander that a child was slain, and its flesh eaten, by the guests at the Agapae, appealed to their laws as forbidding all manner of murder, even that of children in the womb. The Fathers of the Church unanimously maintained the same doctrine. In the fourth century the Council of Eliberis decreed that Holy Communion should be refused all the rest of her life, even on her deathbed, to an adulteress who had procured the abortion of her child. The Sixth Ecumenical Council (Third Council of Constantinople 678 AD) determined for the whole Church that anyone who procured abortion should bear all the punishments inflicted on murderers. In all these teachings and enactments no distinction is made between the earlier and the later stages of gestation. For, though the opinion of Aristotle, or similar speculations, regarding the time when the rational soul is infused into the embryo, were practically accepted for many centuries still it was always held by the Church that he who destroyed what was to be a man was guilty of destroying a human life. The great prevalence of criminal abortion ceased wherever Christianity became established. - Catholic Encyclopedia

MassResistance fights to protect parent’s rights and Traditional marriage, but they need your help. Here is their synopsis of bills that need to be filed in the Massachusetts Legislature this year:
1. David Parker Parents' Rights "Opt-In" Bill: This is a "strong" opt-in bill that truly protects children and their parents, without loopholes, from the hardcore homosexual and transgender programs being pushed at them currently in the schools, as well as general sex education.
Most parents have no idea their kids are involved in programs like these. And the schools want to keep it that way!
2. Bill protecting schoolchildren from intrusive surveys. Right now, schoolchildren are regularly being asked to fill out surveys that often include questions about sexual and homosexual activity, drug use, criminal activity, personal questions about family members, suicide feelings, etc. Many of these include "leading" questions designed to elicit certain answers. Some districts may be administering surveys for "mental health screenings" as well. Right now there is no protection from this. This would make all such surveys "opt-in" by parents.
3. Bill repealing the Buffer Zone around abortion clinics. This unconstitutional law needs to be repealed.
4. Bill disbanding the Commission on GLBT Youth. This horrible state-funded "commission" spends millions of dollars pushing homosexual and transgender programs in the public schools, and directs teens to dangerous organizations such as BAGLY or GLSEN events. It includes some of the most notorious activists in the state, including men dressed as women (with unnatural breasts) and women dressed as men (with breasts removed, and hormone-induced facial hair).
5. Bill repealing the Transgender Rights and Hate Crimes law. Among other things, this outrageous and onerous law (which was passed last year) requires schools to treat boys dressing as girls as if they were actual girls, including use of female locker rooms and restrooms, and participation on girls' athletic teams (and vice versa).. Schools can't say no to a cross-dressing or transsexual teacher (and there are fines & punishment for anybody who complains).
6. Bill repealing the Anti-Bullying Law. This law was drafted by radical homosexual and other special-interest groups to promote their programs in the schools. Even the Boston Globe has admitted it will have little effect on actual bullying. It is so onerous, expensive, and unconstitutional, that to our knowledge few schools actually follow it anyway. It needs to be scrapped and the real problems re-visited.
7. Bill to repeal the law that exempts schools from anti-pornography statute (allowing distribution of materials harmful to children). Currently, schools are exempt from the statutes protecting children from pornography and other harmful materials. Unfortunately, this has become a terrible problem in many schools. Parents and children need protection.
8. Bill to include the Legislature in state open meeting laws. Unbelievably, the legislature exempts itself and its committees and commissions from the state's open meeting laws. Thus, there are a lot of secret meetings that normally wouldn't be allowed. But also, the Commission on GLBT Youth and similar state groups regularly keep parents away and/or intimidate them if they come. This needs to stop.
These important bills won't get filed without help from people like you. PLEASE email us back if you can spare any time over the next few weeks.

Culture Front: I heard about a musician name Sufjan (Soof-yan) Stevens, from Michigan, who could be described as Indie Rock. My son was going to a concert of his in Providence. So I’d like to recommend you give a listen, I’ll explain why below. The first song you should listen, it was kind of a semi-hit so some of you may have heard it, is called “Chicago” listen to it here
Next give a listen to “Sister Winter” listen to it here
then “Casimir Pulaski day” which concerns themes of doubt (try to follow the Casimir Pulaski attempted regicide thread) when a young girl suffers from bone cancer, listen to it here
or here and possibly “For the Widows in Paradise” which might be about his hippie mother, listen here
The guy sings with an understated yet strong voice, and I think he has great, possibly intricate (I’m no expert) harmonies. But the reason I recommend that you listen is this guy did a cover version of “Holy, Holy, Holy” which strikes me as unbelievable. Listen to that here:
As far as I know the guy is Christian, but was raised in some type of Inter-Faith religion as a child, and was given this Persian First name by a cleric in this religion. I heard his parents were hippies, which might explain things. Later Sufjan professed Christianity. I cannot vouch for his beliefs, whether he’s Evangelical, Syncratic or even Agnostic, but considering that Jesus said “There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us. Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward” (Mk9:39) I think you have to give a listen to this guy just for the sake that he recorded the song “Holy, Holy, Holy.” Let me know what you think.

Battle Ready is the term Doug Barry, of EWTN's Life on the Rock, is using to motivate Catholic men to stand up for their Faith. Everyday is Training Day: BODY! Never underestimate the importance of finding something everyday about yourself to be better trained in. Remember that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor. 6:19-20 - "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body." What have you been doing to "glorify God in your body"? What have you been doing to maintain the temple? In other words, are you caring for the gift of your body that God gave you? No need to be a world class athlete, but reasonable exercise, healthy eating and good hygiene should be standard operating procedure for any soldier of Christ. Cut out any destructive habits like smoking, excessive drinking, a lousy diet, etc.
We also glorify God in our bodies by striving to live pure lives and not indulging in disordered pleasures. The temptation to glorify ourselves with disordered or impure pleasures in this world is strong. But God never allows us to be tempted beyond what we can handle.
And check the language coming from the mouth. We should do all we can to keep our language noble and pleasing to God. This is another way we can glorify God in the body.
James 3:2 - "For we all stumble in many respects. If anyone does not stumble in speech, he is a perfect man, able to bridle his whole body also."
PRAYER IS NECESSARY in order for real progress to be made in any of the above. We all have been given the gift of free will. We can choose to make excuses and not do what we know we should, or we can choose to pray, train hard and be BATTLE READY!
Why BATTLE READY BECAUSE Everyday is training day to form us into better warriors for the service of God and others.

Dec 22 Sat 10am Mass to save babies with Fr. Ken Cardinale in the Problem Pregnancy Chapel, 495 Pleasant St. Worc, followed by Sidewalk prayerful protest in front of Planned Parenthood.
The Grafton Catholic Churches Pro-Life Ministry invites you to join us this Saturday, December 22nd as we celebrate the Christmas Season and witness to the Gospel of Life by caroling and praying in front of Planned Parenthood, 470 Pleasant Street in Worcester. The event will start at 9:00am with song and recitation of the Rosary. At 10:00am, Fr. Ken will celebrate Mass in the Problem Pregnancy Chapel, 495 Pleasant Street. Please join us afterwards for fellowship as we enjoy complimentary coffee, juice, bagels and other treats. Bagle Inn of Holden will be providing the Coffee and bagles for our enjoyment. What a way to say "Thank You Lord for letting us do Your will".
Dec 25 Tue Happy Birthday!
DAILY REFLECTIONS: 40 Years of Roe v. Wade - 40 Days of Reflection and Prayer Did the court find that life doesn't begin until birth?
No. It argued that uses of the word "person" in the Constitution do not seem to include the unborn. Then, citing wide disagreement as to when human life begins, the Court said it "need not resolve" this difficult question. Instead of considering the scientific evidence that life begins at conception, or even allowing legislatures to protect those who have never been proved to be anything but human beings, the Court decided to treat unborn children merely as "potential life" - and to prevent the people or their elected representatives from determining otherwise.

According to Planned Parenthood, 1.21 Million abortions were performed in 2008 in the USA, and 1.5% of those, or 18,125, were on babies who were 21 weeks developed or later. 21 week old pre-born babies prematurely born routinely survive today. What do you call that? About 46,000 more were killed between 16-20 weeks. Isn’t that more than how many Americans died in the Viet Nam war?

Justice Department Targeting Abortion Protesters
According to CBN News, government officials are increasingly using lawsuits to target pro-life protesters outside abortion clinics. A variety of laws have already put restrictions on these protests -- a major one being the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which can cause convicted protesters to face thousands of dollars in fines as well as jail time -- and the Feds have steadily stepped up the number of cases in the past few years. "They're trying to shut down free speech at abortion clinics, but then [Planned Parenthood president] Cecile Richards is one of the most frequent visitors to the White House, so you know she's having an impact," said Jo Scott, a longtime protester outside Planned Parenthood in Denver who has faced several charges of obstructing the clinic's entrance with her husband, Ken. Though the government has had a tough time winning many of its cases against pro-life protesters, the FACE Act remains "dangerous in so many ways," said pro-life attorney Rebecca Messall . "And it's been used ... across the country to try to intimidate and punish people for exercising their First Amendment rights."

"They're trying to shut down free speech at abortion clinics, but then [Planned Parenthood president] Cecile Richards is one of the most frequent visitors to the White House, so you know she's having an impact," said Jo Scott, a longtime protester outside Planned Parenthood in Denver who has faced several charges of obstructing the clinic's entrance with her husband, Ken. Though the government has had a tough time winning many of its cases against pro-life protesters, the FACE Act remains "dangerous in so many ways," said pro-life attorney Rebecca Messall . "And it's been used ... across the country to try to intimidate and punish people for exercising their First Amendment rights."

40 Days for Life ends with Election – Final Note
-----------------------------------------------------
KENMORE, WASHINGTON – why we stand ready.
-----------------------------------------------------
Chaplain Pete, the local coordinator, visited Kenmore Community Church, which will be the location of the campaign's closing event. The pastor introduced him to the congregation, and said he'd be available after the service if people wanted to find out more about 40 Days for Life.
"A grandma introduced herself and her daughter, telling me their Planned Parenthood story," he said.
Five years ago, the daughter -- described as a "rebellious teen" -- suspected she was pregnant. Her mother took her to Planned Parenthood for a pregnancy test. When they arrived, Planned Parenthood said the cost would be $50 -- cash. They didn't have the $50, so they went to the pro-life pregnancy help center next door, where the test was free. "They were treated with kindness and care," said Chaplain Pete.
"Needless to say, no abortion took place." Now, he’s looking forward to a chance to meet this child, "and invite three generations to join us in our celebration of life event. I can hardly wait!"
