Catholic Prayer for Motherhood to St. Gerard

O Good St. Gerard, powerful intercessor before the Throne of God, Wonder-Worker of our day, I call upon thee and seek thy aid. While on earth, thou didst always fulfill God's designs; help me too, always to do God's Holy Will. Beseech the Master of Life, from Whom all parenthood proceeds, to bless me with offspring that I may raise up children to God in this life and heirs to the kingdom of his glory in the life to come. Amen.

Prayer Against the Forces of Anti-Life, Against Abortion to Saint Gerard

O Great Wonder-Worker of our day, St. Gerard, powerful protector of the mother and her unborn child, beg God, we beseech thee, to crush the mounting forces of anti-life; and to enlighten those who walk in this deadly way that they may see the enormity of their sin and return to the generous observance of the Divine Law. Pray, too, for mothers that they may prize the great privilege of motherhood and that they may bring up their children in the holy love and fear of God; so saving their own immortal souls and furthering the honor and glory of their Maker; through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Pray for us, O Great St. Gerard!

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ!

Let us pray:

O Almighty and Eternal Father, Who, in Thy all-wise Providence, hast deigned to raise up St. Gerard to be the glorious protector of the mother and her unborn child: grant, we beseech Thee, through the powerful intercession of this, Thy servant, that all diabolical forces of anti-life may be destroyed from the face of the earth forever; that so the Christian family may once more flourish to the praise and eternal glory of Thy Holy Name. This we ask through the merits of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, Thy Son. Who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, God for ever and ever. Amen.

Abortion, Catholic Theology, and the Moral Law

The Moral Law can come from God alone. If man had formed the moral law he could change its principles at will. Yet, no human legislation could ever make right out of wrong. If all the legislatures of earth should decree that it were lawful to kill babies that disturbed your nightly slumbers (perverse and selfish life styles), the deed would still be a heinous crime. The death of each innocent babe cries out for vengeance to the heart of each and every subject of that law.

Right and wrong are ideas that come from the Divine Intellect. There are things that are intrinsically right and things that are intrinsically wrong. They are so by nature. God Himself could not change them. For they are by nature immutable (unchangeable). It were absurd to think of changing right into wrong. It were like changing light into darkness. Even the Omnipotent God could not make blasphemy a virtue, nor perjury an honest act.

Our whole life is unreasonable if God has not given us a moral law. Men are impelled by a mysterious force. They are restrained by a force which does not come from their own nature. This is the "Moral Law". It is an eternal and unchangeable Law that comes from God alone. - Taken from: Dogmatic Series by Roderick MacEachen, Priest of Columbus Diocese, Catholic Library, Volume I, Catholic Book Company Publishers, Copyright, 1915.

Traditional Catholic Latin Mass in Walnut Creek, CA.

Many people long to go to the Traditional Catholic Latin Mass, but don't know where to go. There is a very good Priest who keeps the Commandments and knows his Moral Theology. His name is Father Gregory Foley, is an Independent Priest, and was ordained by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, but left the SSPX and is on his own. His Chapel is called "Our Lady of Lourdes", and the Church is located at 493 Geni Court, Walnut Creek, CA. 94597. He is near Sacramento, California, as well as San Francisco, California. Although the drive may be long, it is well worth it to go to this Priest to Confession and the Sacraments. He is a wonderful Priest who loves the Blessed Virgin Mary very much. Do support him with your prayers and he will offer Masses for you if you ask him.
