The Little Sisters of the Poor are saintly women who serve the elderly treating them with grace and dignity. My mom volunteered for years at one of their homes near Baltimore. When I visited with her occasionally, I was impressed with the atmosphere of peace that pervaded the home and the cheerfulness of the residents. What a wonderful organization to support this Christmas! We are! Visit their website here.
The Becket Fund is defending this wonderful order of sisters. Please visit their website and help them help these wonderful women. I'm sending them a Christmas card with a thank you note and a donation.
And please pray for the conversion of our nation. Nothing illustrates the evil of the current administration like their persecution of the Little Sisters of the Poor and other religious organizations! Obama's contempt for the First Amendment is despicable and his hatred for people of faith (except Muslims) is palpable. Pray for him and his cronies. They really are the nightmare before Christmas.
Wonderful women.
ReplyDeleteI must point out, however, that their asking for an exemption from the mandate implies that it is okay for other businesses/individuals (that might not be "religious" enough in mission) to be forced to offer incense to Obamacorpse.
Adding in to my previous comment. ..especially since the little sisters do accept medicaid funding ...they are hard to distinguish from the average nursing home. ..remember the sisters who ran the field hospitals in the civil war worked for nothing. ..maybe this is what we need to get back to. Also keep in mind the church has bowed of the vital adoption business ostensibly because state funding had strings ...but if the laity had the will we could takeep it back with sacrificial contributions from the pew. At the very least we should be able to match up the pregnant teen in one pew with the couple being tempted to take the ivf pill in the pew behind her. ..
