Face of Pro-Life #187: Fortnight for Freedom
Ave Maria!
Peter Wolfgang Executive Director of the Family Institute of CT and hostess Corinn Dahm discuss the Fortnight of Freedom of the US Conference of Bishops and the HHS Mandate that precipitated it. He focuses on the fact that it is not an issue of whether contraception should be available or not but rather religious liberty: shouldn’t there be a conscience clause to let Religious Institutes opt out? Our first freedoms are at stake, the First Ammendment to the Constitution of the United States. If the first amendment means anything it means that the federal government can not do this. This issue transcends all party lines and all creeds because if the government is allowed to do violence to the basic freedom of religion then it can also do violence to any group’s freedoms, liberal or conservative, religious or secular. One of the biggest problems is the redefinition of terms including what is religion, what is health care and who is the magisterium and Pope of the Catholic Church. Should the government be allowed to do this?! We are saying this is not about contraception but it certainly is for the Obama administration. There are huge fines for not complying that is totally out of proportion with any other issue. Notre Dame alone will have to pay about 10 million dollars a year if they do not want to comply. Ave Maria!

Justus Germinabit and Passer Invenit – Catholic Gregorian Chant Songs
I included two hymns in this video, the first is “Justus Germinabit” compiled from the book of Hosea. The second is “Passer Invenit” from Psalm 84:4-5. The lyrics and rough translation to both is as follows:
Alleluia. Justus germinabit sicut lilium: et florebit in aeternum ante Dominum. Alleluia.
Alleluia. The just shall spring like the lily: and shall flourish forever before the Lord. Alleluia
Passer invenit sibi domum, et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos : altaria tua, Domine virtutum, rex meus, et Deus meus. Beati qui habitant in domo tua, Domine; in sæcula sæculorum laudabunt te.
For the sparrow has found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Your altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God. Blessed are they that dwell in your house, O Lord: they shall praise you for ever and ever.

The Words and Teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ – Part 2/2
This is the second part of my videos on the word of Jesus Christ. Again, these are only a select few of the many and all important and life giving truth of his voice. The songs in this video are the Nomina Offerentium by the monks of Santo Domingo dos Silos Gregorian Chant, and the Hierarchical Entrance Rite of Byzantine Chant. The images, meant to give some variety to the video are (not in order) Christ disputing with the doctors, Christs charge to St. Peter, Jesus cures the blind man, Jesus teaching at the Temple, Sermon on the mount, and Christ and the rich young man. The quotes are from the RSV, RSV-CE and DR Bibles.

Jun 29 – Homily: Peter and Paul Gift to the Church
Fr. Bonaventure on how Sts. Peter and Paul were gifts to the Church from God and did so much to spread the faith far and wide in the early Church. They finally ended their long journey with martyrdom in Rome, the center of worldly power, but would soon become known as the center of eternal, spiritual power. Let us continue their great mission under the successor of St. Peter in the spirit of St. Paul in the Holy Roman Church.
Ave Maria!
Mass: Sts. Peter and Paul – Solemnity – Form: OF

1st: act 12:1-11
Resp: psa 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9
