It's a Girl! Documentary Film -- Official Trailer

In India, China and many other parts of the world today, girls are killed, aborted and abandoned simply because they are girls. The United Nations estimates as many as 200 million girls are missing in the world today because of this so-called "gendercide".

    Blessed Mother Teresa used to leave cradles in the jungle in the edge of the village for the baby girls, and I am sure her sisters still do. But in China. . . our tax dollars go to the UN Population Fund which keeps the slaughter going.

    It is estimated that about 50 million girls have gone missing. They
    are aborted based on their sex. India has passed laws 18 years ago
    making it illegal for a medical practitioner to reveal the sex of an
    unborn baby. This law is rarely implemented because most of the
    government officials and judiciary are apathetic to this epidemic.
    This has caused the sex ratios to be extremely skewed in certain parts
    of India.
    Please read the following articles and the story of one lone woman,
    Dr Mitu Khurana, who has bought a case against the hospital, her
    husband and in- laws, who illegally found out the sex of her unborn
    twin baby girls and then tried to force her to have an abortion. She
    has been given the run around for four long years by the Indian
    judicial system.

    Can anyone give a voice to the 50 million girls that have been
    silenced forever? All Dr. Khurana is asking for is a chance to go
    before an unbiased judge and be heard. Can we all give a voice to the
    50 million murdered and raise the question with Indian officials as to
    why they are silently witnessing the elimination of a whole
    generation. The silence of the Indian officials tell the story and
    makes us wonder if Dr. Khurana and the 50 million dead baby girls will
    ever see justice done.
    Please give those 50 million girls silenced forever, a voice. Please
    forward this to as many friends as possible.

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

Saint Gerard of Brogne: Patron of Abbots

Image
St. Gerard was born to a noble family in Staves, Belgium, in 895. He descended from a royal line of military men and at first felt a share in this call to arms. He trained for the army and, as a page of the count of Namur, he was sent on a special mission to the French court. There, Gerard realized that he was being called to the monastic life. He stayed in France and joined the Benedictines of St. Denis, abandoning his noble birthright and all his worldly possessions. He spent eleven years in France as a monk before becoming a priest. Following his ordination, he left for Belgium in order to found a new abbey on his own estate of Brogne. He was its abbot for twenty-two years and during that period was instrumental in introducing St. Benedict's Rule into numerous houses in Flanders, Lorraine and Champagne.He became known for his engaging sweetness of temper, his strict observance of the Rule of St. Benedict and for the replacement of lukewarm religious practice with true piety.
