The Alexander House Prayer
O my God, into Your Hands, I ask that You guide the Alexander House and those involved in its efforts to serve You and fulfill Your will. I ask that You direct and protect them through each day, by the merits and intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of all the Angels and Saints, from all vicious and unruly desires, from all sins and temptations of the devil. Heavenly Father, as You send them out to preach Your glory and witness to Your power, enlighten their hearts with the grace of the Holy Spirit; grant that they may always be obedient to Your commandments as they work to heal and strengthen marriages and proclaim Your forgiveness and love to all. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
have just built a beautiful shrine to remember
In order for us to heal we must bring things to the light. Sometimes when we are hurting we bury the hurt in the crevice between body and soul. We must learn to bring this hurt out into the light for inner healing, whether we journal or share with others in conversation, somehow the written word lasts much longer so that we can reflect more easily on what has been said. As we share with other souls in need we bring great comfort to their needs and our needs. God is so good in His great plan for us, He reaches into our pain that we might be comforted and bring comfort for the light that covers us is His love. In His love we will be healed. Through our pains God has a great plan for all of us and a greater good will follow. You can see this great plan when Christ was crucified the resurrection followed and the Catholic (Universal Christian) Church was born. Our resurrection will come! As we continue to heal, life will unfold, and you will be a new creation!!! Trust in His plan for you it is all good.
"Hannah's Tears 1st Anniversary"
Thank you Kristy for your witness and bravery!!!
2379 The Gospel shows that physical sterility is not an absolute evil. Spouses who still suffer from infertility after exhausting legitimate medical procedures should unite themselves with the Lord's Cross, the source of all spiritual fecundity.

Since Donum Vitae in 1987, rapidly advancing biological technology has raised many completely new issues. One of these is "altered nuclear transfer," or human cloning that produces embryonic stem cells but not an embryo. This procedure needs more study to ensure that a new human being is never created and then destroyed before it can be declared licit. By contrast, reprogramming adult cells into what are called "induced pluripotent stem cells" is allowable since it can never result in the creation of a human person.
Pro-lifers will perhaps find the most controversial segment of Dignitas Personae to be the one dealing with the "prenatal adoption" of frozen embryos, leading to the birth of "snowflake babies." The desire to adopt these "orphan" embryos is certainly well intentioned and understandable, but leads to a number of problems, the primary of which is the perpetuation of the system that leads to the perceived necessity for such adoptions in the first place. The closest parallel might be Christian organizations which recently "bought back" slaves in Sudan, which implicitly implied that human beings may be bought and sold, and also encouraged slave-taking for profit. Dignitas Personae warns of the many ethical and practical problems associated with it.
Another subject that pro-lifers have been debating for years is vaccines made from the cell lines of aborted preborn babies. For the first time, the Church definitively addresses this topic in Dignitas Personae. The document states that parents may legitimately use such vaccines if there are no alternatives, since they have no say in how the vaccines are made. However, the parents should always ask their health care systems to make other vaccines available.
Dignitas Personae represents a welcome clarification regarding many medical and scientific procedures in the increasingly complex area of human reproduction, and will answer many questions that have, until now, not been dealt with authoritatively.
We urge all of our readers to go directly to the document and study it if they have any questions.
May this week of Epiphany fill you with His love!
