Pope Leo’s best quotes for Catholic youth:

 

Below are 10 of Pope Leo’s best quotes for Catholic youth:

"God loves us, and evil will not prevail. We are all in God's hands."
"You are not only the future of the church, you are the present. Your voices, your ideas, your faith matter right now. And the church needs you."
"If you want to change the world, begin by letting God change you."
"Jesus takes nothing away, and he gives you everything. When we give ourselves to him, we receive far more than we could ever imagine."
"Be intentional with your screen time. Make sure technology serves your life and not the other way around."
"Remember, AI can never replace the unique gift that you are to the world."
"The world needs missionaries. It needs you to share the light and the joy that you have found in Jesus."
"The church needs what you have been given to share with all of us. If you want to help the church prepare for the future, start by being involved today."

"What greater gift can you offer the world than the gift of eternal life in Christ? What greater cause could you dedicate your life to than the Gospel?"
“As you go closer to Jesus, do not fear what he might ask of you. He challenges you to make changes in your life, it's always because He wants to give you greater joy, greater freedom. God is never outdone in generosity.”

In Plain Sight -The Greatest Child Abuse Scandal ever - under the Guise of "Gender Affirming Care"

 

Thank you Chris Elston and thank you Lila Rose

You know, as horrible as it is, I guess it is not surprising. I mean if we as a society not only allow the torture and murder of a pre-born child for any reason or no reason up until the moment of birth, but celebrate it under the guise of “a woman’s right to choose” then it’s not much of a stretch I guess, to celebrate the horrors of so called “gender affirming care”. And let’s face it, if you dare to question any of it, or attempt to debate the issue, well, look out!  All I can say is “Be Prepared.”

Before Oct 20 2021 I knew nothing about Chris Elliott a father of five who had been touring the world to bring attention to the dangers of Puberty Blockers in children. On that day Chris had brought the message to Broadway Public School in Ottawa, ON, Canada by peacefully holding a sign saying, “Children cannot consent to puberty blockers.” And for that, he was berated and accused of hate speech by hundreds of thugs. City Councillor Catherine McKenney and School Board Trustee Lyra Evans voiced their opposition to Chris. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board had posted a warning to parents on social media about Elston’s protest, calling it an act of “hatred” and promising to ensure there was no trespassing on school property. Seriously? 

Elston and a couple of his supporters also stood outside Notre Dame High School on Broadview Avenue on Monday the previous day, but attracted little attention at that time. I am assuming that our Legacy Media got wind of this thus prompting the demonstrations on Tuesday.

Suppressing the Truth has really taken on a life of its own in Canada, at the expense of our children

As a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, I feel saddened that our spiritual leaders, for the most part, have turned a blind eye to this horrible abuse of our children. This is more than a serious health crisis. This is a moral issue that has been politicized to promote a radical anti-God agenda.

And thank you, Danielle Smith, who is the only Canadian Politician as far as I know, that has taken a stand against these atrocities.
