Saint Teresa of Calcutta, Pray for us

“God does not demand that I be successful. God demands that I be faithful.” St. Teresa of Calcutta

“Holiness is not the luxury of the few; it is a simple duty, for you and for me.” St. Teresa of Calcutta

Holiness is for every one of us as a simple duty – the acceptance of God with a smile…” St Teresa of Calcutta

“You have to be holy where you are- wherever God has put you.” St. Teresa of Calcutta

“Holiness grows fast where there is kindness. I have never heard of kind souls going astray. The world is lost for want of sweetness and kindness.” St Teresa of Calcutta

“Try to put in the hearts of your children a love for home. Make them long to be with their families.” St. Teresa of Calcutta

“Love to pray. Take the trouble to pray. Prayer opens your heart until it is big enough to hold and keep God. We must know Jesus in prayer before we can see Him in the broken bodies of the poor.” St. Teresa of Calcutta

“Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depths of our hearts.” St. Teresa of Calcutta

“Prayer is as necessary as the air, as the blood in our bodies, as anything to keep us alive – to keep us alive to the grace of God.” St. Teresa of Calcutta

“There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.” St. Teresa of Calcutta

“And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other, naturally we want to do something.” St. Teresa of Calcutta

“Let us pray that we women realize the reason of our existence: to love and be loved and through this love become instruments of peace in this world.” St. Teresa of Calcutta

Elon Musk shares chilling story about the radicalization of transgender ideology

 https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/elon-musk-shares-chilling-story-about-the-radicalization-of-transgender-ideology/?utm_source=featured-news&utm_campaign=canada

'The school literally sent the police to his house to take his daughter away from him,' Musk told Joe Rogan.

(LifeSiteNews) — In a recent conversation with Joe Rogan, Tesla billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk revealed that one of his friends fled the state of California with his daughter hours after the police showed up at his home to remove her because he did not support her “transitioning.”

“There was a friend of mine who was living in the San Francisco Bay Area, and they tried to trans his daughter,” Musk told Rogan. “The school literally sent the police to his house to take his daughter away from him.”

In 2022, California passed SB 107, making it a so-called “sanctuary state” for transgender “treatments.” The law grants courts temporary emergency jurisdiction if a minor is seeking such treatments, even if they come to California from out of state, and protects those perpetrating these treatments from out-of-state subpoenas. California courts can also grant custody to the parent who wants to continue these treatments and override the other parent’s opposition.

In this instance, Musk said, it was the school that alerted the police. “The school and the state of California conspired to turn his daughter against him and make her take life-altering drugs that would have sterilized her, and irreversible,” he told Rogan. “Now, that’s going to radicalize you. That’s gonna shake you out of your belief structure.” The daughter was only 14 years old.

In a scene that sounds like a Soviet-era tale of escape from behind the Iron Curtain, Musk’s friend promptly fled the state—that very day. “He managed to talk the police out of taking his daughter away from him, and that night he got on a plane to Texas,” Musk said. A year later, after attending a school in the greater Austin area, the daughter “went back to normal,” and is comfortable with her sex. “It wasn’t real,” Musk said.

Rogan noted that people are finally starting to admit that much of the trans phenomenon of the past decade has been a social contagion—despite the fact that Dr. Lisa Littman of Brown University was viciously attacked when she first published a study detailing this in 2018. Rogan cited a recent report by Colin Wright in the Wall Street Journal that summarized recent data buttressing the “social contagion” thesis, and noted that Wright was getting death threats for daring to cover the issue.

“When you get nine kids in a friend group and they all decide to turn trans together, something’s wrong,” Rogan said. “That’s not statistically feasible.”

“You can convince kids to do anything,” Musk agreed. “You can convince kids to be a suicide bomber. You can train kids to be suicide bombers. And if you can convince kids to be suicide bombers, you can convince them of anything.”

There are plenty of similar stories unfolding across America. In a recent interview, Jeff Younger described how it felt to have his son taken from him and transitioned while he was legally prevented from doing anything or rescuing him. To know what is being done to your child and being helpless to intervene, he said, is like being tied to a chair while he is being sexually molested, unable to respond. It is, in short, an agony unique to our insane, LGBT-captured culture.

The Ottawa 40 Days for Life Prayer Vigil drew to a close with the Closing Rally on Sunday, November 2 at 6:00 p.m. at the Vigil Site, 84 Bank St., Southwest corner of Queen and Bank. 

We begin with a song and a prayer, followed by a candlelight procession to St. Patrick’s Basilica Scavi for a brief program and light refreshments. 

 

Although the vigil has ended, our prayers continue—for an end to abortion, for mothers and fathers who have experienced abortion, for expectant mothers considering abortion, for abortion workers, and for all whose lives have been touched by abortion.
