Musings on Imperfect Christmases
By Ellen Wilson Fielding:
What would it have looked like, if Mary’s prayers for her son Jesus had resembled mine for those I love and if, in addition, they had been granted by God? What if, worn down by the ceaseless importunities of this me-version of Mary, God the Father had, like the unjust Judge in the parable, thrown up his metaphorical hands and exasperatedly said, “All right, already! I’m giving you what you ask for!”
Gretchen Whitmer Ensures There Will Be No Survivors in the War on Human Life

Special access from the Fall issue of the Human Life Review
By William Doino, Jr.:
Throughout the history of the pro-life and pro-family movements, many remarkable individuals have played important roles.

Her legislation would redefine parenthood in ways that would reduce the term only to the person actually commissioning a child. Genetic parenthood (via gametes) wouldn’t count. Neither would bearing and delivering the child.

2024 is the year of the dragon. It was barely half-a-day old when the dragon lashed out in anger. On the afternoon of New Year’s Day in Japan our cell phones started bleating in unison, high-pitched whooping interspersed with an urgent robotic voice repeating: “Jishin desu. Jishin desu.”
“Earthquake, earthquake.”
By Rev. George G. Brooks:
As St. Paul put it, the weakness of God is stronger than men (I Corinthians 1:25). The wisdom of the wise men was to see in advance the tragedy and triumph of the gospel story ...
