Have you heard of Lia Mills? She was the youngest pro-life speakers at last year’s international pro-life conference called, Building a Global Culture of Life, held in Ottawa. She’s only fourteen years old. Her pro-life battle started back in Grade 7. She chose to write on the topic of abortion in order to complete a school speech assignment. Even after her teacher told her to choose a less controversial topic and under the threat of being disqualified, Lia did not change her mind. Her teacher thought Lia would not make it to the final round because she had made an argument against abortion and had also a referred to God. She was asked to remove the sentence about God. She refused claiming that it was God who had given her the topic.

It doesn’t end here. It gets even better.

If you had to list three or four characteristics that make for great doctors what would they be? You would probably say they need to be experts in their fields. You would include the need for professional care and respect for patients. You would add that they take the extra time needed to properly respond to a patient's concerns and give that important appointment when needed.

On January 1, 2011, World Day of Peace, Pope Benedict issued an important message titled, “Religious Freedom, the Path to Peace”. He begins his message by recalling the sad event that took place in Baghdad last October 31. As the faithful gathered to celebrate the Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, they were attacked and as a result two priests and over fifty people were killed. Christians there are routinely discriminated and persecuted because of their faith.

One of main goals of this blog is to work together to create an awareness of the need, in both our local parish communities and in Canada, to better live our faith in order to build a culture of life and the true common good.

1 Timothy 2:1-5
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings should be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
