There's an excellent article on National Review Online, reflecting on abortion 30 years after Roe v. Wade. Do yourself a favor and read it.

I received this prayer via email the other day from Melissa Summach, who just happened upon this page. I pass it on because it is so wonderful:

"When I can no more stir my soul to move, and life is but the ashes of a fire; when I can but remember that my heart once used to live and love, long and aspire - wake in me...boundless desire" ~George MacDonald

Melissa comments, "What a prayer!!!!!" I heartily agree!

Back again in Ordinary Time. Which reminds of the album by Marie Bellet of the same name. I think her songs capture the whole idea that we grow in holiness by small choices everyday, not by grand achievements. Check out her website, buy her CD's. You won't be sorry!
