Just in case you missed it, here is the film that was shown at the RNC on Senator John McCain. I found it to be both moving and inspiring.

    I wonder Jean, why everyone is so happy to support Sarah to be so absent from her family. I don't see how a mom with 5 kids can be a full time mom and run this country. It appears that her family has suffered already with a pregnant teen daughter. She is beautiful and spunky , great speaker, and great for pro life but really, who will care for this precious little boy she just had? She can't do it all and her first role is mother to the kids.

    take2:

    Snookums...she's not "running" the country, she'll be running the senate. Todd can keep the homefires burning. Unlike lieberal husbands, alley catting around he's good with the kids. Sarah can breast feed while presiding over the senate, God knows Harry Reid needs wetnursing.

    [I'd be more impresssed if you'd objected when she got elected governor....you're just a democrat, who probably has voted the proabort ticket every time.]

    you will probably find that as Vice President, Sarah Palin will probably have more time with her children than she currently does now as Governor:).

    When looking at the careers of many female Senators( Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Hillary Clinton to name a few) in Washington. Many of them had full time careers either working within the Democratic party, or as lawyers, journalists and Mayors throughout their lives irrespective of the fact that they had young children to bring up. They did it.

    Why make Sarah Palin the exception?

    Senator Biden himself through great tragedy became a single father, he did what he felt was right and correct and decided to serve his country via the Senate.

    Once again why make an exception with Sarah Palin?

    The only people qualified to make an assessment of Sarah Palin as wife and mother are her husband and children. Let's leave the judgement to them:)after all they know her best and are supporting her run for Vice President.

    Go in Peace,

    Marie :)

    Maybe they are happy to support her because she is the first breath of fresh air in the culture of death in our society.

    There is so much criticism against the Palin's family decisions. IMHO whatever they decide to do is there business.

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...

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 h...
