Why would this Saudi Prince, Al-Walid bin Talah pay $20M for Obama’s Harvard Education? Begs the next question, what did Saudi Arabia have to gain by putting this Saudi, Puppet President, in the White House?
Why are all of Obama’s records sealed? What sort of deceptions is he covering up?
Ss. Simon and Jude – Apostles of Christ
October 28, 2011
Feast Day of Ss Simon and Jude, Apostles of Jesus Christ, that ministered to Iraq.
It is said, that St Jude died of a head injury. He was clubbed to death, for the Catholic Faith. Also, his mother was “Mary, the wife of Cleopas (also spelled “Clopus”).” So, his mother was present at Christ’s Crucifixion. It is said, that Cleopus, St Jude’s father was the brother of St Joseph, Jesus’ Foster Father, on earth. Both Ss Simon and Jude died a Martyr’s Death. You may find more on the Internet. The pamphlet that I got this information from, I can no longer find it. St Anthony will have to help me, if God Will’s it.

Complications of Abortion – On Women and Effects On Human Life
Abortion has physical, mental, medical, sociological and spiritual consequences. Don’t abort your unborn baby! Abortion is not an innocuous medical procedure w/o real ramifications, listed in the below article, for the Mother. It is the death and dismemberment of a living human being, and no mother, government, or doctor’s right usurps or supersedes, that Unborn Baby’s fundamental Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
God gives that unborn baby at the moment of conception his or her own DNA, individuated from his/her own Mom or Dad’s DNA. This DNA is unique in every human being from the moment of conception.
God will use this DNA to develop his/her body, within the womb of the baby’s mother.
God also gives this newly conceived baby an Immortal Soul. God breathes His Very Life Breath into that Baby’s Soul and Animates him or her. That soul accompanies it for all eternity either in heaven or hell. If you end his/her life, God takes the little one into the abode of His Merciful Heart. Your baby will love and pray for you, from heaven to “get over” these Complications of Abortion.
God gives the newly conceived their very Own Guardian Angel, that accompanies him or him all his or her life, and into heaven.
I hope you choose Adoption as the Loving Option, if you feel unable to raise your baby. Steve Jobs, was the man who started Apple – that Company that made the iPod, iPad, iMac, and iPhone. Steve Jobs was adopted.
Pray for wisdom and courage to bring your baby to birth. Remember: Abortion stops a beating heart. It is so heinous, and it must not continue in so-called civil societies. There is nothing Civil about Abortion. Except that it pits a Mother against her own Little One, in our modern society; that’s gone crazy with this ungodly fabricated right: not naturally written on the minds of mothers, until the state made this butchery, legal. Recall Slavery was legal, but it was not moral nor civilized.
Abortion is not legal in God’s eyes. It is against His 5th Commandment “Thou shalt not kill.”

I hope this sharing my Catholic Faith has helped you discern correctly and without pressure or fear.

Blessed is the Fruit of Thy Womb – Jesus
*********************************************
Stop. Think. Pray without ceasing. Human Life is a Gift from God. Contact your local Catholic Church Office for help in finding resources to help you with housing, food, pro-life and / or adoption agencies and men and women volunteers to help you make the Life Giving Decision – To Not Abort Your Little Unborn Baby. There are alternatives, to abortion. Don’t give up, knocking on those doors, seeking God’s Will, and asking for His Providential Care. Remember Giving Birth to a Baby and keeping him or her, or giving your baby to adoptive parents is a decision no one will ever regret. And, a baby conceived in rape, or incest is no excuse to kill the Little One, that God has created. Jesus is the “Way, the Truth, and the Life.” So, yeah, God is for all human life, no matter how small, frail or yes old. Neither Abortion nor Euthanasia is Morally Licit.
The Complications of An Abortion is like this Stop Sign, with all those Other Signs pointing you away, from such a tragic decision for you and for your baby, and yes, even the baby’s father. Let no one pressure you into the worst decision of your life, that you will later, regret. I will be praying for you, daily on my rosary.
See! Absolutely No Water Boarding! Just a little Predator Drone!

Jesus, my Savior I have so often deserved to be cast into hell how great would be my suffering if I were now cast away and obliged to think that I myself had caused my damnation. I thank Thee for the patience with which Thou hast endured me. My God, I love Thee above all things and I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee because Thou art infinite goodness. I will rather die than offend Thee again. Grant me the grace of perseverance. Have pity on me and at the same time on those blessed souls suffering in Purgatory.
