TUESDAY QUOTE OF THE WEEK CCLIII

FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND: Their marriage is a good one. In our eyes, what makes a marriage good? Well, that the tether fray, but not break and that they stay together. One should be watching while the other dies.” from Howard Nemerov’s “The Common Wisdom”

QUOTE II: “The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (I might amend it to when a child is conceived . . .)

IN OTHER NEWS:

Students for life sent this out concerning a web seminar that will be held TONIGHT concerning the HHS mandate. "Learn what's at stake -- and discover how YOU can help to stop [the] Abortion Drug Mandate by joining a one-time-only LIVE webcast event this Tuesday, March 13, at 9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific, 7 PM Mountain, 8 PM Central.)

"The live event will be approximately 25 minutes long. There's no charge to participate. If you have access to the Internet -- even with a dial-up connection -- you can listen in on the live webcast audio and submit questions. There is limited space available for this live event, so you are strongly encouraged to register now!" For more information click here.

From the Diocese of Cleveland Enewsletter, "Friday, March 23rd at Noon, citizens across the country are being asked to gather outside federal buildings in cities throughout the United States to "rally" in defense of religious freedom and stand up against the Federal Health and Human Services mandate requiring Catholic institutions to pay for abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraception." Read more here.

From the same source: "The Health and Human Services (HHS) Mandate has fueled debates over the Obama Administration's unwillingness to grant the necessary exemptions to religious institutions, forcing these institutions to pay for medical procedures that go against their religious beliefs." An expert from the Becket Fund will explain what is at stake. Read more here.

From the same source about a show originating in Cleveland and now going national: "Well known Catholic Psychologist, Dr. Ray Guarendi, is hosting an informative new series on EWTN (The Eternal Word Television Network) entitled "Living Right with Dr. Ray." Read more here.

This is from St. Hilary - our neighboring parish. The date is wrong but they will still be doing this on Good Friday.

Fr. D sent this link to the best (and most honest) headline to come around in a long time.

P. W. sent this 10 minute video in. I never these people before but I like this video. I hope that they do more good things. It is in reference to that viral video "Why I Hate Religion but Love Jesus.)

L.G. sent this in if you just need a good laugh today. Isn't it nice to know that these are professionals? It makes me feel better about my efforts.

F sent in this optical illusions. Pretty cool. Thanks.

The above link allows women who work or have worked for Catholic institutions to sign a letter to President Obama regarding the attack on religious freedom.

Re: the video. I'd be really surprised if you had truly never heard of these people. The nun is Mother Miriam, formerly Rosalind Moss who has been all over Catholic radio and EWTN for years. Like everything she is involved with, this is very good.
