The following comes from a May 7 email from Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust.
Mother’s Day is a beautiful holiday, celebrating the blessing of motherhood and honoring all mothers.
Sadly, the weekend prior to Mother’s Day are still busy days for abortion clinics. Women enter these clinics as mothers, and leave as mourners.
Every Mother’s Day, Survivors are outside local abortion clinics with flowers and Mother’s Day cards for the mothers going into the clinic, encouraging them to keep their babies and providing alternatives to abortion. We also intercede for the lives of the preborn babies scheduled to die.
Bring your families! Parents and friends of all ages are welcome! Young children can contribute by sidewalk chalking in front of the abortion clinic.
This event features our beautiful Development of the Child series of signs, which demonstrate the personhood of children inside the womb during every month before birth. You are welcome to make signs showing your love and concern for the mothers and their babies, too!
When: Saturday, May 10th
Where: Planned Parenthood, Riverside
Time: 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Contact: Ashley for more details!
If you can’t join us, plan one of your own! Gather your friends, a handful of small flower bouquets, sidewalk chalk, and plenty of brochures from your local
pregnancy resource center, and go be a light in the darkness!

“CDC study: Traditional, two-parent biological family the safest environment for children
WASHINGTON, D.C., May 8, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A new study just released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals that children living in traditional, two-parent biological families are overwhelmingly safer than children living with just one biological parent or with non-parental caregivers.

Happy Mothers Day!!!
Happy Mother Day to all mothers and especially to our Most Blessed Mother in thanksgiving for all of her love for her children.
Luke 1: 46 And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible
Thank you for your beautiful devotion to Mary. You have found the Gate of Heaven.
Thank you k!
AD DIEM ILLUM LAETISSIMUM
ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS X
ON THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
25. This same charity we desire that all should earnestly endeavor to attain, taking special occasion from the extraordinary feasts in honour of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin. Oh how bitterly and fiercely is Jesus Christ now being persecuted, and the most holy religion which he founded! And how grave is the peril that threatens many of being drawn away by the errors that are afoot on all sides, to the abandonment of the faith! “Then let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall” (I Cor. x., 12). And let all, with humble prayer and entreaty, implore of God, through the intercession of Mary, that those who have abandoned the truth may repent. We know, indeed, from experience that such prayer, born of charity and relying on the Virgin, has never been vain. True, even in the future the strife against the Church will never cease, “for there must be also heresies, that they also who are reproved may be made manifest among you” (I Cor. xi., 19). But neither will the Virgin ever cease to succor us in our trials, however grave they be, and to carry on the fight fought by her since her conception, so that every day we may repeat: “To-day the head of the serpent of old was crushed by her” (Office Immac. Con., 11. Vespers, Magnif.).
The most important person on earth is a mother. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral — a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body . . .
The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in God’s creative miracle to bring new saints to heaven. Only a human mother can.
Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other creature; God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of creation . . . What on God’s good earth is more glorious than this: to be a mother?
-Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty
