OR Calls For Nationwide Day of Fasting and Prayer on Monday for Grand Jury Abortion Death Investigation

Prayer Service will be held at KS courthouse on first day of Tiller Grand Jury investigation.

Wichita, KS - May 18, 2006 Operation Rescue is calling for a nationwide day of fasting and prayer on Monday, May 22, 2006, the day a Sedgwick County Grand Jury will convene to begin an investigation of criminal allegations against late-term abortionist George R. Tiller in the death of Christin A. Gilbert.
In addition, Operation Rescue will hold a public prayer service outside the Sedgwick County Courthouse at Noon on Monday to pray for the Grand Jury investigation.Christin Gilbert was a 19-year old Down syndrome Texas girl died who on January 13, 2005, of complications that occurred as a result of a botched third-trimester abortion received at Tiller's Women's Health Care Services in Wichita, Kansas.

An apparent cover-up into Christin's death began with the 911 call placed by an evasive abortion worker who summoned the ambulance for the dying girl, pleading with the emergency dispatcher, "Please! Please! Please! No lights and no sirens!"
Since then, Operation Rescue investigators worked tirelessly to uncover the truth about what happened to Christin, only to find evidence of a possible political conspiracy to absolve Tiller of any wrong- doing.

The scope of the Grand Jury investigation is not limited to the Gilbert case. The investigation may also probe other possibly illegal aspects of Tiller's abortion business
.
"We believe we need to humbly seek the favor of God Almighty on the day that the Grand Jury is scheduled to convene. We urge prayer for the judge and prosecutor to conduct a fair and impartial inquiry, and for the jurors to thoughtfully consider and investigate the appearance of impropriety surrounding Tiller and his abortion mill," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.

"We especially need to pray that those associated with Tiller politically, professionally, or socially will not be able to cover up for him, but that the full scope of his wrong-doing will be exposed."

"We urge men and women of faith across America to pray with us that abortionist Tiller will be held legally accountable for his actions that may have run urge men and women of faith across America to pray with us that abortionist Tiller will be held legally accountable for his actions that may have run afoul of existing Kansas statutes," said Newman."Christin Gilbert deserves at least that."

Abortionists must understand that they are not above the law."

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the

Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi.

During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so.

St. Raymond Nonnatus, Patron of Expectant Mothers, Midwives, and Newborn Babies

Image
The saint of the day for August 31 is St. Raymond Nonnatus. He is the patron of expectant mothers, midwives, obstetricians, infertile couples, and newborn babies. Raymond was born at Portella, Catalonia, Spain in 1204, the son of wealthy parents. He was delivered by cesarean section when his mother died in childbirth. Hence his name non natus (not born). In his childhood, he seemed to find pleasure only in his devotions and serious duties. His father, sensing that Raymond was drawn to religious life, ordered him to manage one of the family farms. Raymond readily obeyed but spent his time with the shepherds and workers, studying and praying until his father abandoned the idea of making his son a worldly success. Raymond later joined the the Order of Our Lady of Mercy or the Mercederians, which was founded by St. Peter Nolasco, who devoted to ransoming Christians captured by the Moors. He succeeded Peter as chief ransomer and went to Algeria to ransom slaves. He remained as hosta
