I’m also planning some topics to discuss using the Catechism of the Catholic Church(CCC) for guidance. One topic I plan to discuss is about the importance of respecting life and that life begins at consumption! It’s that simple. Using the film Come What May as an example: Pro-Life Argument- When does Life begin? The following is a scene from the movie Come What May about "When Life Begins."

Sources I plan to use to help support pro-life:

http://www.catholic.com/library/Abortion.asp

CCC- paragraphs #2270, 2271, 2272, 2273

It’s that simple. Being PRO-LIFE is vitally IMPORTANT!!! Especially as Catholics, we must choose life and have an END to abortion.

Anyone have suggestions for other topics I could discuss discuss?? Click Here to Contact me.

The photo to the left is of when I was born- this photo shows the importance of respecting ALL human life! I was born 3 1/3 months premature. Take a look at this picture: Do you see the importance of respecting ALL Life.

Recommended Spiritual Books by St. Josemaria Escriva

Today I would like to recommend three spiritual books by St. Josemaria Escriva. These are: The Way, Furrow, and The Forge. I have a single volume edition and recommend that you too get a copy of these books--its an excellent source for some spiritual and meditation guidance. In each of these three books, St. Josemaria Escriva offers brief passages or bits of conversation, personal experiences, or letters from St. Josemaria. In The Way there are 999 brief advice guidance for meditation. Furrow consists of 1,000 points, while The Forge offers friendly, fatherly advice.

St. Josemaria Escriva was the founder of Opus Dei (Work of God). Through Opus Dei, Josemaria preached of holiness in daily work and finding God in ordinary duties.
