Saints to pray to for assistance during the pandemic
As the world goes through these difficult times with the widespread of the Coronavirus, it is most helpful to remember that God lives. God, good as he is to us, only desires the best for us. That doesn't mean that he will not allow evil like the coronavirus to happen. Let us remember that the coronavirus is man-made and not made by God. It is when we use our freedom and our talents in a way that is sinful and against the plans of God for us that disaster and epidemics happen.
God also provides protection and refuge for us in times like these. Apart from the prayers and intercessions of our Blessed Mother, the "Help of Christians" and "Refuge of sinners", there are numerous saints who have set great examples for us and have obtained healing for many believers over the centuries who have asked for their intercessions. Read about two of such saints here.
I pray that you continue to protect yourselves and stay safe and healthy while you are aout and about your daily business. Take every precaution necessary to prevent getting sick. It is not over yet. God needs us healthy and strong to carry out our mission.
God bless you all and your families!
Pro-Life Movement
January 22 is the anniversary of the passing of that horrific abortion law that caused the death of millions of un-born babies in our country alone through abortion. Every year, at the anniversary of Doe vs Wade, the Pro-Life Movement have organized a 'March for Life' in numerous cities in our country. You can read about the Movement and many other articles about the effects of abortion, and also testimonies of people who were involved in the industries and what brought about their conversion here.
As Catholics we should all be concerned about life and the preservation of life. We should all be praying for an end to this horrific and heinous sin against life and God. We should be advocates for the millions of the voiceless and powerless human beings in the womb who cannot speak or fight for their own right to live.
I urge you to pray for President Biden and his administration that they be advocates for life and do what every good Catholic should do, defend the dignity and sanctity of every human life at every stage.
Please pray also for the many women who have been led to believe that their bodies are their own and they can choose to do with what they wish. Holy Scripture states clearly that our body is not our own, but a member of the Body of Christ and the temple of the Holy Spirit (I Cor. 6:19), and therefore every Christian must glorify God in their body by preserving the holiness of Christ

An action alert from the Minnesota Catholic Conference on the PRO Act
01/20/23 1:25 pm
Urge your Senator to resist the throwaway culture and vote NO on the protect reproductive options act (S.F. 1 McEwen). It has already passed the MN House, and is heading to the Senate soon!
This bill goes farther than just "codifying Roe," and instead works to enshrine into law an abortion regime that disregards prenatal human life, even the life of a pre-born child whose heart is beating, who can feel pain, and who is viable outside the womb.

Opportunities for a positive vision of the good

Inside the Capitol
The 2023 legislative session will be filled with challenges and opportunities. Governor Walz and DFL legislative majority leaders promised to use their historic “trifecta” to, at the outset, make our state’s abortion regime even more permissive and legalize recreational marijuana. These policy challenges present a tremendous opportunity for Minnesota Catholics to, as Pope Francis has said, “meddle in politics” by proposing a positive vision: the ability to choose what we ought, not the license to choose what we want.
