The USA, nay, the world, is following that path.

Whether we like it or not, we see the atrocities happening to children around the world. It’s also uncomfortable to talk about abortion. But, the fact is, abortion kills children! It must be a very difficult choice for women contemplating abortion. But, oftentimes, they lack the love, support and care from the people around them. Often that might just be the easiest solution. We pray for women contemplating abortion…that they find the right intervention before they make that life-altering decision. And, if anyone has undergone abortion, God forgives! Peace and blessing to all.

Children are precious! They give you fresh views of the world! I come from a family of 12. I am a middle child….I’ve had children around me my entire life…my 8 year old grandchild is coming over today. God has blessed me beyond what words can describe! It saddens me to think of people abusing, aborting, trafficking our innocents 😢 “THE SOUND OF FREEDOM ” was sad, our prayers are essential. Educating our children and protecting them and teaching them to TRUST God is a necessity for their Soul!

God bless us all and thanks again Dr. John for making us aware.

It is astounding how terrible our culture has become…and we are witnessing the deteriorating effects of these generational sins today. The acceptance and pushing of evil practices, preying on our children. Jesus wants us to help the youth. I pray our Holy Mother helps us all have more courage, love and conviction of saints!
