Run With Life: Jericho walk to end abortion

From Pat today. God bless you Pat for your dedication to the little ones. Saint Louis de Montfort must be shedding rivers of tears. Woe to our Catholic Institutions that have strayed from God. And that goes for our Catholic Schools as well  

Run With Life: Jericho walk to end abortion

The Montfort Hospital in Ottawa does abortions and I suspect they are late term abortion because of the higher cost. I received this information from my recent FOI request to the Quebec Health department:

I missed the Jericho walk on Saturday because we weren't in Ottawa. (Maureen did a fine job of capturing that walk).

So this morning I decided to do my own Jericho walk around the Montfort hospital. I prayed a Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet to end abortion at this hospital. I didn't do it seven times like one is supposed to. It just means I will have to do it six more times.

Perhaps we should consider doing a Jericho walk around all of our hospitals to end abortion.

Jericho Rosary Walk Saturday August 6 2022 - Ottawa ON Canada

A Pilgrimage

Photos 

After mass, today at the Annunciation Parish,  Lorraine drove Jackie, Margaret, and me to Blair Station where we took the train downtown. Jennifer met us at the Rideau Centre and the five of us walked from there to the War memorial on Wellington Street for the Jericho Walk organized by the Joan of Arc Community by John Pacheco. Thank you, John!



Videos are posted following the photos

Resting after that trek up those stairs ooh la la!

I took this photo ( above) of the Pilgrims and then sat down on the concrete ledge. A cop or a security guard came over and told me to go to the other side because I wasn't allowed to sit there. ???

Annunciation of the Lord Parish Ottawa ON Canada - Summer 2022


Mass Wednesday morning yesterday in the Parish hall 
While renovations were being made to make the altar more accessible
Father Rob was cute. He said it was like a "camping mass" 
The church hall was the location of the Vacation Bible School last week

Praying the Rosary on Tuesday morning after mass.
We started at the Grotto but when it started raining we moved to the front door of the church
but first Luzia and Margaret took refuge under the tree ( silly girls )  
Then we continued to the front doors.



Safer here
Thanks Luzia for Breakfast at Tim Horton's

Reaction to Pope Francis' Visit to Canada Brian Holdsworth

The Tragic Irony - Mark Mallett

SEVERAL Catholic churches were burned to the ground and dozens more vandalized last year in Canada as allegations surfaced that “mass graves” were discovered at former residential schools there. These were institutions, established by the Canadian government and run in part with the assistance of the Church, to “assimilate” indigenous peoples into Western society. The allegations of mass graves, as it turns out, have never been proven and further evidence suggests that they are patently false.[1] What is not untrue is that many individuals were separated from their families, forced to abandon their native tongue, and in some cases, abused by those running the schools. And thus, Francis has flown to Canada this week to issue an apology to the indigenous people who were wronged by members of the Church. 

 
A Tragic Irony

It’s a moment of deep self-reflection for both the Church and the country. But sadly, it is also a moment of deep self-deception. For while the Prime Minister and the Pope lament the injustices that took place, they are completely ignoring new injustices taking place right under their noses — and caused by them. And that is the continued segregation, persecution, and vilification of individuals who have decided against being forced to take an experimental gene therapy dubbed a “COVID vaccine”.

Diocese issues gender identity policy consistent with biological sex

Diocese issues gender identity policy consistent with biological sex

Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Jul 13, 2022 / 18:08 pm

The Diocese of Green Bay has added a clause to its education policy manual that prohibits the use of pronouns and wearing clothes that do not align with a person’s biological sex.

With 54 Catholic schools in the diocese, this policy will apply to around 9,000 students. It will also affect 12,000 people who attend religious education classes. The punishment for violation of the policy, which took effect July 1, can range from corrective action to suspension or expulsion.

“The Church teaches that our identities as male and female are part of God’s good design in Creation, that our bodies and sexual identities are gifts from God, and that we should accept and care for our bodies as they were created,” the policy reads.

In recent years, the Catholic Church has been challenged by an ideological shift from LGBTQ advocates. The Diocese of Lansing adopted a similar policy in January 2021, requiring that its schools, parishes, and charities recognize persons by the biological sex with which they were born. align with a person’s biological sex.

Run With Life: The appalling treatment of Tamara Lich

Run With Life: The appalling treatment of Tamara Lich: We should all be incensed at the treatment of Tamara Lich. She is being treated as a murderer or something worse, maybe a pedophile or rapists...
