Praying today with parishioners from St. Monica Parish
This afternoon around 2:30 I joined parishioners from St. Monica Parish at Bank and Queen to pray for an end to abortion. When I arrived two parishioners welcomed me. A few minutes later one kind fellow stopped by and thanked us and asked God to bless us.
There was one negative incident when a young woman passed by and yelled at us and pointed at our signs and said something derogatory although I can't remember exactly what she said:
( something like "that's all crap ") That was the only negative incident though. I've heard a lot worse over the years
Shortly before three Gary arrived. We prayed the rosary together.
Four more parishioners from St. Monica came by at 4 o:clock. My gosh what a wonderful group! For some of them it was their first time. Thank you Lord.
Oh and just as I was leaving to go another gentleman dropped by and pointed at the bubble zone sign and said I bet you won't be voting for Jim Watson in the election and I said "You bet your boots I won't "

Today at Bank and Queen
Lunch with my sister Barb after Mass at St. Pat's
40 Days for Life Ottawa - Fall 2018 - Kick off Rally
Thank you Stan for the information below
The 40 Days for Life Opening Rally took
place on Sunday September 23rd. 7:00 PM North West corner of Bank and Sparks Streets We were blessed by some wonderful
talks, prayers, as well as moving hymns led by Sister Teresa Catherine Marie of the Queenship of Mary.
The first presentation click here was by Helena
Szakowski , who does amazing work as English Church and Group Coordinator. Helena
gave a concise overview of this year’s Campaign, both from an international as
well as local perspective. She also provided powerful reasons for getting
involved in these Campaigns, as well as their convincing effect in curtailing
abortion (please see 1st attachment)
Deacon Charles (Chuck) Fink is the Chaplain
of our 40 Days for Life Campaign. He gave a very thorough presentation click here on the sanctity
of human life in the context of the 50th anniversary of Humanae
Vitae. It is incredibly remarkable how prophetic this Encyclical by
Pope Paul VI turned out to be in specifying the grave dangers of contraception
all of which
(2nd attachment), Deacon Chuck also provided us with PDF’s of the Encyclical itself as well as the Pastoral Message of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops on the 40th Anniversary of Humanae Vitae. These will be found on the 40 Days Website: https://40daysforlife.com/ local-campaigns/ottawa/

Sister Marie Madeleine of the Queenship of Mary Community
gave a very informative talk on the Queenship of Mary Sisters click here , their remarkable
prayer-life, charism and mission. It is
amazing the number of ministries and initiatives these good Sisters support
through their prayers and actions, including 40 Days for Life. They are a real
blessing to Ottawa.
Sister Marie Madeleine then gave her riveting personal testimony of how God’s
love and protection guided her through a time of darkness to conversion, and
eventually leading her to join the Queenship of Mary Community. In the 3rd
attachment you will find an expanded version of her personal testimony which
ties in very well with Deacon Chuck’s talk on Humane Vitae. The talk Sister Marie Madeleine gave at the
Opening Rally was an abridged version. The full talk will be given at the Divine Mercy Conference at
St. Augustine’s
Parish on Saturday October 6th.
As indicated by
Helena, based
on our current online vigil
calendar, Mondays Thursdays and Fridays are generally the most
challenging days of the week to get commitment for a Parish Vigil Day. So if you can, please make an effort to be at
the Vigil site on one of these days. To
register, visit: https://40daysforlife.com/ local-campaigns/ottawa/.
Yours in Christ,
Stan Siok

Bishop Barron on Religion and Happiness
Bishop Barron speaks of how like most parts of Europe Scotland is suffering from the invasion of the secularist mentality. Secularism is a very deep psychological and spiritual problem Our time in history is anomalous in the whole of human history . This is the first time in recorded human history that people have turned away from religion. 99% of the human race has been religious for all these centuries
The denial of God does great damage to the human heart .

Totus Tuus - by Dana
Totus Tuus (Totally Yours) by Dana
1…As I stand on the ground where you stood
And I walk in your footsteps
I imagine the way that you felt
And the thoughts you were thinking
Could you see my face in the crowd
And that I loved you
Refrain
Totus Tuus Totally yours
Totus Tuus Totally yours
The rock and the lamb
The Lord and the man
Totus Tuus Totally yours
2…You told us that people must be free
Every heart must be open
You said that justice is the key
But it takes our love to turn it
You said that you believed in me
You said you loved me
(Repeat refrain)
3… And we will follow you
Yes, we will follow you wherever you lead
For we believe your message is true
And we will follow you Yes, we will follow you
wherever you lead For we believe your message is true
(Repeat refrain)
(Repeat verse three).
