"abortion is not simply a matter of belief but it is bloodshed, it is not just about views but on victims. ".
FATHER FRANK PAVONE
Reflection
Therapeutic abortion is the prelude to abortion and euthanasia. The abortion promoters know it, and so are determined to be legalized.
Prayer Day
pray that following the example of Mary know promptly to help pregnant women who need help. Mothers entrust especially migrants and those who suffer from hunger and war.
day Grounds
In this campaign for life, sometimes we forget to pray for the end of life, that is, remember that euthanasia is against the will of God.
My grandfather is 96 years old mother and the doctor tells you no longer have much time. We are giving medicine to not only suffer so much, because their disease is no longer curable. Some of my uncles asked God not to do suffer. However, I believe that this time of suffering, my grandfather is winning your pass to heaven. He was a devout person and I think the Virgin Mary and Jesus are on their side, helping you to live these difficult days.
few moments ago, I passed it to the phone (he can not speak, has a hard time) and I was talking to him. I told him to take forward, that this cup God was taking it into account, he does not stay with anything and all this suffering will have great reward in heaven. I told him that when I was with you remember to follow the Virgin interceding for those who stayed that will surely receive a big party in the sky, with music and dance as he liked. I talked to him about things I remember from when we watched films of Cantinflas, how much I love him, even I put the Hermanos Carrion music that he liked to listen when I was going home.
During the day I've been remembering more things to tell: their calls attention when I did not like but then I see that I did not care, that their golden wedding anniversary I made my first communion (and we are few days to turn 70 years of marriage my grandparents) of the meals my grandmother made, how much you enjoyed the holiday season in town, etc. So many things to talk with him before God calls him home. Why deny us this opportunity to remember, to live using the "easy out" of euthanasia? My mom told me that he was smiling as he talked. Oh how happy I gave him could take a few minutes of solace in your pain! Already
end I wonder who are we to take the opportunity to make our loved ones from heaven with suffering from a disease? It is a time that God grants to do penance, to reflect on what was done and what is left behind. It is a gift that the Lord commands, since that time no opportunity to make a good confession, receiving holy oil and frequent communion. What better gift than that!
At the same time is a gift for those who are close to those terminally ill. Now for the first time I'm living the next round of a loved one I remembered that the ultimate goal of each of us is going to live forever with the Father, is to enjoy the glory of God for all eternity. Therefore, I believe that being with my grandfather in recent days has been a valuable opportunity for me to reflect on my life, what I need to do, to improve, to grow.
I invite you today to pray for those terminally ill patients who are denied or denied the opportunity to sanctify themselves through suffering and opt for an "assisted death" is nothing more than killing the sick, the clogging, which is no longer "productive" in this world. Let us pray for these people to find someone to provide words of support, to help them see the value of what they are experiencing and remind them that God does not remain with nothing, he offered this suffering will be greatly rewarded.

ECUMENICAL PRAYER
O Lord, to you we entrust the cause of life:
look, Father vast numbers of babies
who be born,
of the poor whose lives are made difficult,
of men and women who are victims of brutal violence,
elderly and sick killed
because of indifference or out of misguided mercy.
Let those who believe in your Son may proclaim with firmness and love
men of our time the Gospel of life.
Obtain for them the grace to accept as a gift ever new,
the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout their existence
and courage to bear witness to it resolutely,
to build, together with all people of good will,
the civilization of truth and love,
to the praise and glory of your name.
Amen
