Capitol Rally To Urge KS Legislators To Charge Tiller

Topeka, KS – Kansas’ top lobbying group, Kansans for Life, is organizing an urgent rally and press conference at the Capitol in Topeka on Tuesday, March 27, to urge legislators to pass a resolution that would force Attorney General Paul Morrison to prosecute Wichita abortionist George R. Tiller for committing illegal late-term abortions and other crimes.

“Operation Rescue will certainly be attending and supporting this effort 100%. We encourage everyone who can, even if you have to take a vacation day off work, to get to the Capitol on Tuesday in support of the Tiller Resolution,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “As a citizen, I look forward to the opportunity to meet with my representative and have a frank discussion about why Tiller is able to violate Kansas law at the cost of the innocent lives of viable babies.”

What: Urgent Rally To Urge KS Legislators To Charge Tiller
Where: Kansas State Capitol Building, Topeka, Kansas
When: Tuesday, March 27, 2007, 10 AM to 2 PM
Press Conference will be held at Noon

Since signs are not allowed inside the Capitol, participants are encouraged to wear red or pick up a “Charge Tiller: It’s The Law” T-shirt that will be available at the rally through Kansans for Life.

“We urgently need to take our message to the legislature, which is legally endowed with the authority to order the attorney general to prosecute cases,” said Newman. “Tiller should not be allowed to flaunt the law. The investigation has been done. The charges have been made. Now it is time to bring him to justice. We elected pro-life men and women for just such a time as this, and now it is time to hold their feet to the fire. Lives literally depend on it.”

“There’s a time to pray and there is a time to act. Tuesday is the time to act.”

For those outside Kansas, we encourage you to visit ChargeTiller.com to sign the petition and e-mail the key legislators.

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

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
