On Saturday, June 13, the Routh Street abortion facility performed its last abortions. This facility has been open since the 1970s. Standing there, it felt like we were a part of history that day.

It’s 6:30 am on Thursday morning, and the sound of my alarm clock snaps me out of my dream and into reality. 

Her abortion, that she was basically forced into, had been a few months ago, and since then guilt had plagued her heart.

"In every struggle we face, God’s Grace is there – always present to us. And when we say yes to Him, His Grace is poured into us and we function out of supernatural reality. It lifts us above that moment, giving us perspective of the eternal."

Many years ago, I was working at a construction site. I lost my balance and fell backwards down onto a concrete pier with a steel rod sticking up out of it. The steel punctured the top of my leg and I was bleeding profusely. I got up and went to the ER at the closest hospital. I knew I was hurt and wondered what they would do.  

"You have a place in the Church and we are incomplete with you being out there in the ocean. Let us throw you more lifesavers and swim beside you as you search for God’s presence in your life." 

Today we remember St. Patrick, Patron Saint of Ireland.
