null7. Here’s a personal story for you: today is the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. My mother and I went to Lourdes in 2003 with the Knights of Malta. I wish I could say it was a wonderful, life changing experience, but I don’t even remember half of it…literally. About five days into the trip I got really sick and ended up having four grand mal seizures and spending five more days in a French hospital on very heavy medication. And, yes, this was after I had taken the “bath!” FWIW, I’m pretty sure I enjoyed the first five days (though I could have done without being stuck in this voiture, pictured here, during most of the time we spent away from the hotel).

  1. “5. A Catholic hospital in Chicago has become one of the nation’s first to adopt a practice of halting second-trimester abortions for women who change their minds after the procedure has begun.”

    Obviously the clinic is doing EXCELLENT “counseling” to make sure the women are CERTAIN that they NEED these abortions!

  2. Chelsea, I think I should print “Refusing to Suffer” & tape it to my bathroom mirror so I’d have to read it every morning. It’s a reminder I need to hear often. Thank you so much for it!
