We look forward to hearing from you. Saint Gabriel Lallemand, pray for us, and Saint Gabriel the Archangel be our messenger to the Father, in this turbulent time. |
Have you every noticed what happens to a house when it is neglected? The exterior paint peels. Weeds take over the lawn. Potholes appear in the driveway. Dust and dirt begin to cover everything inside. Cobwebs form in the corners. The walls crack. After about 20 years of neglect, the house is in such bad shape that one is tempted to bull doze it and build a new one. Notice that it is very easy to run down a house – all you have to do is nothing!
Larry will never forget the first time he saw hardcore pornography. It was the early 1970s and he was about 10 years old. In his schoolyard at recess, he saw a few kids his own age, huddled around a somewhat older boy. They were taking turns, looking at something in the older boy’s hand. Larry’s curiosity got the better of him so went over to see what they were looking at. The older boy showed Larry two explicit pornographic playing cards. The effect was potent. Larry was excited and alarmed at the same time, and he can vividly recall those images decades later.
Today, May 9th, is the March for Life in Ottawa, this annual event seeks to change hearts, De-fund, and hopefully make abortion unthinkable in Canada. Saint Gabriel's Newsroom was not able to be there this year to record the event. What I have done instead is create a video in honour of those babies who had no choice. Get involved, and be a voice to those who have none. EWTN is also broadcasting a live stream from Ottawa.
Fred will never forget the first time he picked up a handgun. The weight of the steel. The cool precision of the parts. The click of the hammer. It gave him a feeling of power and control. He was hooked. He subscribed to Guns & Ammo magazine, traveled to gun shows in New York and Ohio, and joined a gun club. He became a frequent visitor to the local gun store and noticed that that same “customers” were often there. Usually, they didn’t buy anything. They hung around the store, asked the clerk to see this or that new gun, and socialized. Fred frequently bought and sold guns. No gun quite satisfied him and there was always a new gun that he just had to have.
