The Power of Prayer

This reform involves so many moral issues. Not only abortion, but health care rationing for seniors, broad conscience protections for health care workers, assisted suicide counseling, are costs being restrained and equitably spread across the spectrum of payers, and at what point is the government intruding too far into its peoples' lives.

The Catholic Bishops have been working for years for health care reform that includes the life and dignity of all, but as Bishop Nickless says, "no health care reform is better than the wrong sort of health care reform."

Let us all pray that the Holy Spirit and prudence will guide our leaders in this crucial debate and vote for health care reform!

Please Pray!

The Senate passed the procedural motion on Saturday 11/21 to begin debate. Please keep praying the final bill removes the public funding of abortion, protects conscience rights, ensures affordable coverage, and allows immigrants to purchase private health insurance.

We had our first tour of duty fulfilled!

The first Private to enlist in the Army has fulfilled his tour of duty!  We've talked to him about the perks of re-enlistment and he's on board for a second tour. Keep on Praying!

The Senate has put the public abortion plan back in.

It appears our Senators are including public funding of abortion in their plan. Please pray, contact your Senators, and talk to your friends and family about this.

Links from this Blog

Although we have posted a few links to other sites on the side bar, our intent is not to be a primary source for news on the health care reform. We will leave that task to others.  Our objective is prayer among US Citizens to OUR Father.

We are practicing Catholics in Denver, so we have lazily included links from mainstream Catholic publications in Denver. If you have other links that you believe are important, by all means, please let us know.

HELP
