Washington, DC

WHAT: Deal Hudson, the director of InsideCatholic.com and the Morley Institute for Church & Culture will be the keynote speaker at American Life League’s Training and Activism Week during the nation’s largest annual pro-life demonstration.
TAW will bring together a summit of human personhood leaders and activists to launch the nationwide effort NARAL Pro-Choice America described as “the strategy that could outlaw abortion.”
WHEN: January 21, 2010, 3 p.m.
WHERE: Washington Court Hotel 525 New Jersey Avenue Northwest, Washington, D.C. 20001

WHO: Deal Hudson will join a line-up of presenters to address the science, law, philosophy, and grassroots activism behind the unprecedented phenomenon of the burgeoning human personhood movement including:
Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., pastoral associate with Priests for Life and founder of King for America
Keith Mason, Personhood USA
Rev. Johnny Hunter,  Life Education and Resource Network
Jill Stanek, Pro-Life Pulse
Rev. Clenard Childress,  BlackGenocide.org
Rev. Stephen Broden
Robert Muise, Esq.,  Thomas More Law Center
And Dr. Dianne Irving, Georgetown University Professor and Medical Ethicist
As a longtime Catholic author, political activist and advisor to President George W. Bush, Hudson will speak on human personhood in the context of Catholic Social Teaching.
WHY:  In the last year, human personhood efforts have swept the nation as a radically re-ingnited movement for human rights for the human person from his or her beginning of biological development. Eight states have formally launched human personhood amendment campaigns to their state constitutions and dozens more are organizing initiatives of varying degrees from education of the public to state legislatures to amendments to state constitutions.. The Human Personhood Conference at American Life League’s TAW will bring together leaders who look to establish human rights for all human beings because, contrary to NARAL Pro-Choice America's scare tactics, the fact is every human being deserves equal rights under the law and in the culture.

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

Saint Michael de Sanctis: Patron of Cancer Patients

Image
Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. 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. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. 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. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the hou

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
