ONE MILLION ROSARIES FOR UNBORN BABIES SET FOR MAY 4th - 6th

 

MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE [U.S.A.] - (January 25th, 2012) - The multinational ONE MILLION ROSARIES FOR UNBORN BABIES prayer event is scheduled to happen May 4th - 6th, 2012.  The Saint Michael the Archangel Organization, coordinator of this pro-life prayer event, is asking persons to pray at least one Rosary for an end to the surgical and non-surgical killing of unborn human persons.  The website www.SaintMichaelTheArchangelOrganization.org has information about registering, downloading a bulletin insert, promoting the prayer event, etc. (One may also receive information by sending a self-addressed envelope to: Saint Michael the Archangel Organization; P. O. Box 41257; Memphis, Tennessee  38174; U.S.A.)

 

For the 2011 ONE MILLION ROSARIES FOR UNBORN BABIES,  persons from more than 30 nations registered, but the goal of one million Rosaries was not met.

 

"The May 4th date is a Friday which gives schools the opportunity to invite students to assemble and pray the Rosary," said Patrick Benedict, spokesman for the Saint Michael the Archangel Organization. " On Saturday, May 5th persons may meet at an abortion facility to pray the Rosary.  And, for Sunday (May 6th), it is hoped many priests will lead the Rosary either before or after Mass (or Masses).

 

"It is so very important that the Rosary be prayed for the unborn babies.  The ONE MILLION ROSARIES FOR UNBORN BABIES prayer event gives us the opportunity to unite with people throughout the world to do exactly that," concluded Benedict.

Dear Supporter of the Saint Michael the Archangel Organization,

We are about 2 weeks away from the start of the September 29th - October 7th, 2011 PRO-LIFE NOVENA FOR UNBORN BABIES.


During this Novena, it is hoped that many Masses will be offered and many Rosaries will be prayed for the following intention: For the protection of unborn human persons.


How can you be a part of this?


1) If you have not already scheduled to have a Mass offered for the unborn babies during the PRO-LIFE NOVENA FOR UNBORN BABIES, I hope you will do so very soon.


You may simply want to call your parish and ask what needs to be done to have the


Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered for the following intention: For the protection of unborn human persons.


[ Please note: The Mass(or Masses) you schedule should be offered during the Novena (September 29th, 30th; October 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th). ]


2) If you have not already done so, please plan on praying one Rosary on each day of the Novena for the protection of unborn human persons.


(There is no requirement to register Masses or Rosaries, but you are welcome to do so. Registration information, as well as other information about the PRO-LIFE NOVENA FOR UNBORN BABIES, is at www.SaintMichaelTheArchangelOrganization.org.

Pope Benedict's Address to Young University Professors: World Youth Day Madrid

"The theme of the present World Youth Day – “Rooted and Built Up in Christ, and Firm in the Faith” (cf. Col 2:7) can also shed light on your efforts to understand more clearly your own identity and what you are called to do. As I wrote in my Message to Young People in preparation for these days, the terms “rooted, built up and firm” all point to solid foundations on which we can construct our lives (cf. No. 2).


But where will young people encounter those reference points in a society which is increasingly confused and unstable? At times one has the idea that the mission of a university professor nowadays is exclusively that of forming competent and efficient professionals capable of satisfying the demand for labor at any given time. One also hears it said that the only thing that matters at the present moment is pure technical ability. This sort of utilitarian approach to education is in fact becoming more widespread, even at the university level, promoted especially by sectors outside the University. All the same, you who, like myself, have had an experience of the University, and now are members of the teaching staff, surely are looking for something more lofty and capable of embracing the full measure of what it is to be human. We know that when mere utility and pure pragmatism become the principal criteria, much is lost and the results can be tragic: from the abuses associated with a science which acknowledges no limits beyond itself, to the political totalitarianism which easily arises when one eliminates any higher reference than the mere calculus of power. The authentic idea of the University, on the other hand, is precisely what saves us from this reductionist and curtailed vision of humanity.

In truth, the University has always been, and is always called to be, the “house” where one seeks the truth proper to the human person. Consequently it was not by accident that the Church promoted the universities, for Christian faith speaks to us of Christ as the Word through whom all things were made (cf. Jn 1:3) and of men and women as made in the image and likeness of God. The Gospel message perceives a rationality inherent in creation and considers man as a creature participating in, and capable of attaining to, an understanding of this rationality. The University thus embodies an ideal which must not be attenuated or compromised, whether by ideologies closed to reasoned dialogue or by truckling to a purely utilitarian and economic conception which would view man solely as a consumer."
