HELPERS OF GOD'S PRECIOUS INFANTS

Committed to maintaining a loving, prayerful presence outside abortion mills; praying to obtain God's mercy for the abortionist and his staff; asking each mother to change her mind, reaching out to her with the love of Christ; offering her support and assistance should she change her mind, and prayers for her healing and conversion should she proceed with the killing of her child. Most of all, we love the unborn children - the only human love they ever encounter may be from those of us standing outside. No one wants to be alone when they die.  Our loving presence at their hour of death will comfort the Heart of God, because they belong to Him.

DOROTHY DAY'S PRO-LIFE MEMORIES    Dan Lynch

I wish every woman who has ever suffered an abortion would come to know Dorothy Day. Her story was so typical. Pregnant by a man who insisted she have an abortion, who then abandoned her anyway, she suffered terribly for what she had done, and later pleaded with others not to do the same.

Women preparing to be married should be informed by their doctors of the benefits of having children early in marriage and about the health problems associated with delaying childbirth. Additional research into the benefits of childbirth and the effects of delayed childbirth are clearly warranted.

CONTRACEPTION

CATHOLICS AGAINST CONTRACEPTION

This site is an attempt to

(1) Bring honour and glory to The Blessed Trinity – God the Father, God the Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Ghost;

(2) Out of love, to save souls by proclaiming The Truth that

(a) The use of contraception, including sterilization, is against the Law of God, and, therefore, a mortal or grave sin; (b) If anyone were to die in the state of that sin, unrepentant, he or she would be risking forever “exclusion from Christ’s kingdom and the eternal death of hell.”

ORGAN DONATION (See also Brain Death)

The Nasty Side of Organ Transplanting 

"Treatment" is not oriented toward the patient but toward the goal of preserving organs. Proper comfort care for the dying patient may be omitted because the donor is considered as a repository for organs rather than as a person." from Associate Professor Michael Potts' letter in the British Medical Journal, 13 May 2006.
