While you expect to see commentary by yours truly on Fridays, it is my pleasure to surrender my “space” to our director of American Life League”s Defend the Faith project, Michael Hichborn. His insights on Cardinal Sean O Malley are clear, passionate and, at the same time, loving. The nursery rhyme “Little Boy Blue” is more than apropos.
Next week we honor the millions of children slaughtered needlessly at the hands of abortionists. It’;s the perfect time to remember the importance of actions and the necessity of speaking for those who have been silenced. And, as we look around us at the March and in our homes, may we be energized by the faces and actions of those who dedicate their lives to the sanctity of every human being.

Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, is King over all creation. He made the heavens and the Earth, and all other things—big and small.

We are one week away from the 2015 March for Life. Thousands of pro-lifers make the trip each year to DC from all corners of the country, often braving snow and frigid temperatures, to give witness to the 57 million human lives killed by abortion.
Today we hear a tragic story of violence that resulted in the creation of a beautiful, loved child. But the story doesn’t end there. What happens next will shock you and cause outrage. Yet it also gives hope.

The Christmas season may recently be over, but the Christ child remains in our hearts all year long.
Spilled coffee, ice having to be scraped off of a windshield, and a fender bender on the way to work all are scenarios that cause inconvenience or that we wish hadn’t happened. But, just because we didn’t intend for them to happen, does that mean they don’t exist? Of course not. So why, when a baby is created intentionally or unintentionally people think of him as nothing more than an inconvenience? How can a baby’s life be likened to something like one of the scenarios above? And how can people have the audacity to think that no life exists when one clearly does?
Defending Christ in the Eucharist is something that no clergy should be afraid to do. When we receive His most precious body and blood, we must do so reverently and free from mortal sin. This includes all Catholics and anyone who calls himself a Catholic. To receive Our Lord in any other way is sacrilege.

We often hear that the youth are the future of the pro-life movement, but as Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life always reminds us, the youth are also the present of the pro-life movement.
Peace begins at home. But what happens when we willfully destroy the home and the people in it? As a society, we are in trouble, for there is a war being waged upon us. And if we don’t arm ourselves properly, we will lose this war. But the reality is that we will lose so much more than that.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America has released its 2013-2014 Annual Report and the numbers show a stagnant business making tons of money from unsuspecting donors.

A reader sent me a message declaring quite excitedly that I’m “not gonna believe” what’s happening at this public school in California.
