Election Nov 6, 2012, you’ll be voting on a BINDING referendum question on Doctor Prescribed Suicide.
Liking the effort on Facebook:
Following the Campaign on Twitter:

Why vote No on Question 2: Eligibility is based on a six-month life expectancy. But doctors agree these estimates are often wrong. Individuals outlive their prognoses by months or even years. Question 2 will lead people to give up on treatment and lose good years of their lives.
If this passes...IT WILL BECOME LAW.

Sep 5 Wed 7-9:30pm The Pro-Life and Adult Faith Formation Ministries of the Grafton Catholic Community will host a panel presentation, “Catholics and Dying: Hear the Truth About End-of-Life Issues”, St. James Parish Center, 89 Main St., South Grafton.

ALL ARE WELCOME

On Wednesday August 15, The Family Research Council, FRC was the target of what the FBI is calling an act of domestic terrorism. A gunman, identified as Floyd Corkins, invaded our headquarters in Washington, D.C. armed with a 9mm pistol, approximately 50 rounds of ammunition, and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches. The gunman was confronted by an unarmed member of the FRC staff, Leo Johnson. When the gunman pulled the gun from his backpack and aimed the weapon at Leo, Leo moved toward the gunman to disarm him. Despite being shot in the process, Leo was able to subdue the shooter and call for others on the staff, who helped admirably. One of the investigators, based on their preliminary findings, told me Leo's actions saved a lot of lives.

Sep 10 Mon - Christ The King Parish, Pleasant St. Worc, Novena, honoring... St. Joseph, the Patron of a Happy Death!
This annual parish novena will be celebrated on nine successive Monday evenings this fall. It begins on Monday, September 10, at 7:15 p.m. (concluding by 8:00 p.m. each night), and continues through Monday, November 5. Each evening will conclude with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. A short homily will be given each evening and the novena prayers recited by all the people.

The novena, which is open to all who wish to come - from any parish - will seek the intercession of St. Joseph, the Patron Saint of a Happy Death, a very old devotion in the Church. Across our City and region thousands of people are seriously ill and thousands die each year. Our prayer will be directed for them in a special way, and for all their caregivers as well.

The novena, in this its first year, will include prayers that the citizens of Massachusetts turn down doctor-prescribed suicide at the polls this November. We should bring love, care, prayer, hope and proper pain management to family members, and not help them to end their lives through suicide

What’s wrong with government?
In 1964 the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) declared that states could not means-test to determine unemployment eligibility. As a result, in 2009 there were 2,362 tax filers with Adjusted Gross Incomes of $1 million or more who legally received unemployment benefits that same year, totaling $20.8 Million in Federal unemployment compensation an average of $8,806 per millionaire. In other words, 2362 millionaires got unemployment checks in 2009. 2,840 Millionaires got unemployment in 2008.

Prayer Needs;

Oklahoma is the only state that Obama did not win even one county in the last election...Oklahoma passed, 37 to 9 an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol, HB 1330. Oklahoma recently passed a state law to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and send them back to where they illegally emigrated from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen, HB 1804.

VP

Entitlement Reform will become the operative phrase as we run up to the Presidential election, and with the selection by Presidential candidate Mitt Romney of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) as his vice presidential running mate, this phrase should also be seen as code to Pro-Lifers and supporters of Traditional marriage of our best hope in the coming election. Rep. Ryan is a polite, thoughtful, dedicated family man who understands well the Catholic principle of Subsidiarity, as well as the coming budgetary apocalypse that will result as our Government continues to attempt to give out more money in entitlements to U.S. citizens than this same government takes in from fees and tax revenues. I know social conservatives want to put social issues front and center during this election, and I would simply say that the best way to do this is to vote for the Romney/Ryan ticket at the National Level, and vote for every Pro-Life and Pro-Traditional family candidate at all other levels. As Bishop William Lori has pointed out, Catholics should not support a candidate who promotes intrinsic evils, such as abortion on demand (funded by tax dollars). We know the HHS mandate is an attack on religious liberty, and we know that the current administration strongly supports not just abortion-on-demand, but government funding of what they erroneously see as a 'right'.
You cannot support the current president, but as Deidrick Bonhoffer reminded us, not to say something is saying something, and not to do something is doing something. You should not sit out this election on the sidelines; that would be supporting a candidate who promotes an intrinsic evil as a right.

Stay tuned for the Democrats National Platform, which will include the ‘rights’ to same-sex marriage as well as the ‘right’ to abortion. Remember that in 2008 they changed their platform on abortion from “safe, legal and rare” to just “safe and legal.”

The Dark side of same-sex parenting, and what really happened at the LGBT Kiss-in at Chick-fil-A, updated booklet “What Same-Sex Marriage has done to Massachusetts”

The Almighty has His own purposes


The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds.

- Lincoln knew that history was full of chastisements, and indeed purifications greater than the Civil War were lurking. The Lord hated false gods and that was what scientism was creating: a god of technology. The telegraph was taking the place of prayer and electricity the place of the Holy Spirit. Through chemistry men were transmuting reality and thus scientism – the obsessive overuse of science – was even denying God His role as Creator. While expertly documenting evolution, which simply meant an “unfolding,” Darwin made the grave error of attributing that unfolding not to God but to “natural selection.” Such a theory purveyed the mechanical and rationalistic notion that mere freaks of nature, mutation, guided the way organisms developed.
- Life was a grand mistake!...It was absurd and arrogant, an affront to logic, but it’s what the devil wanted: denunciation of the supernatural element. If there was not supernatural, there was no God.
- …Thus Satan was trying to undermine faith. Thus was he trying to quash spiritual sight. But his problem was the Virgin Mary, who by her mere presence blasted a hole in atheism. – Michael Brown
