It would have been easy for him to slide into the background and let others take the static he will inevitably have to bear, but he is doing what is right. I feel very lucky to have a bishop who is faithful enough to take this principled stand. He is caring for our souls.<br /><br />We MUST support Bishop Lennon and his fellow bishops on this.<br /><br />Susan from SB+SMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-2019945324085985662012-01-29T14:11:04.562-08:002012-01-29T14:11:04.562-08:00Father, your words were a much needed shot in the ...Father, your words were a much needed shot in the arm today!

Everyo..."Ora et labora" (pray and work).<br /><br />Everyone should call their US Representative and Senators, every day. Call both the local and the Washington DC offices.<br /><br />You will not always be speaking to the same congressional aide. Even if the legislator is not won over, you may be planting seeds within the hearts of their aides.<br /><br />The message can be short, or it can include some reasons why this mandate violates our freedom of religion. Or it can be an opportunity to educate them on the ill effects of contraception on women's bodies and on male-female relationships.<br /><br />As Cardinal Donald Wuerl (Washington DC archdiocese said), what is to stop them from adding abortion to the mandate? Nothing.<br /><br />Be unfailingly polite.Patnoreply@blogger.com
