Crumbling dreams in a world of turbulence

Medical school is fascinating right now. We're in our first systems block (several weeks of intensely studying one organ system): neuroscience. I'm learning about adrenergics and T1/T2 weighted MRIs! By itself, "neuro" would be interesting and manageable.

But I'm not just going to medical school. I'm a Catholic, a leader, a dreamer. I care about the Church and the fate of souls and of my country. I feel the suffering of mothers and children and families affected by our culture.

There is too much going on. It's not all bad: there are evil measures going on, but these provoke a lot of good thought and pruning for the springtime of the Church. Even so, I feel like a boat about to capsize.

• The HHS mandate. This video of Gloria Purvis is excellent. She gets politically incorrect, but she stays with the truth.
• Persecution is now. Vatican.va taken down by pro-choice hackers, and The New York Times ran an ad "in odium fidei."

Nationally and globally, turbulence is increasing exponentially. I see my dreams of a Catholic women's clinic, maternity home, and/or hospital crumbling. I want to love others by my prayers, my hands and my study! Why am I being prevented from love?

God + come to our assistance. Lord, make haste to help us!

March For Life: a Must-See

The March for Life in Washington, D.C. on Monday, January 23 came and went with complete media blackout, well covered by Joe Heschmeyer. I'm posting to report: there are more young women than ever protesting Roe vs. Wade. Why can't our opposition, who claims to be so pro-women and pro-freedom, acknowledge their voices?

Stand by the roads, and look and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.

This is an article by a non-Catholic businessman. He speaks so kindly of the Church, and his view is so refreshingly accurate! This article was written in '03. A must-read, especially at the beginning of Advent when we rekindle enthusiasm.
