Presented by Sister Mary Eucharista
Last night I attended a wonderful presentation by Sister Mary Eucharista of the new order of the Sisters of Mary, Mother of God.
These are the brave ladies that left their questionable order to form this new order under the Diocese of Spokane. I'll let them tell their own story but we are blessed to have them back as full members of the Church.
Who We Are
Coming Home
*****While these lovely ladies were still at "The Mount", they shopped at the Costco on the north side of Spokane where I worked. They were delightful and I used to wish they were part of the Church. Through the dedicated prayers of the Sisters of the Mission of Charity, my wish came true. Notice the blue band on their veil? When they designed the new habits for their order the blue band was included to honor the Sisters of the Mission of Charity.
*****Sister Marie Francine was a particular favorite and she and I exchanged short letters over the years. When the sisters first left their old convent to start their new order, I searched and searched to see if Sr. Marie Francine was among the group. She was - praise God!
On the 27th - 29th of this month they are having a retreat at the Immaculate Heart Retreat Center in Spokane that I plan to attend.
Death With Dignity???
*****Today the act allowing people to kill themselves with the help of their doctor takes affect in Washington, my close neighboring state. I am pleased to see how many hospitals have "opted out" of this heinous practice. How long will that last under our current President?

Stealth Care

Spending: The stimulus provides for the creation of a federal health care bureaucracy not unlike Hillarycare. Decisions that should be made by doctors and patients will belong to bureaucrats deciding cost-effectiveness. read more
Did You Get a Raise this Year?
Congress Did!
Congress Did!
*****Congress gave themselves a raise last month. That extra $4700.00 will sure help with their mortgage payments. They now make $174,000 a year for usually only working 3 days per week.
Get Ready to Buy Everyone's Home Improvements
*****People opposed to the mortgage bailout have erupted in anger over the thought of having to subsidize their neighbors’ house payments when they’ve responsibly managed their own housing decisions. Diana Olick tells her CNBC readers and viewers that that’s not all we’ll subsidize. Thanks to a little-remarked portion of the bill, we’ll pay for their home-equity seconds as well. read more

Smoke and Mirrors: The Magic of Barack Obama
*****Every good magician can alter one's perception of reality by use of deception. In context of a magic show, trickery is a good thing; when it comes to a political show, it's not so good. President Obama has come to be known as one of the most eloquent politicians in American history. But it was not eloquence alone that got him into the White House; it was eloquence coupled with pretense. And with those twin characteristics Obama is almost effortlessly imposing his extreme-left agenda on the country. read more
Daily Meditation:
Help us to be eager in doing your will.
In today's lesson we learn more about prayer.
We are touched by the bold, full-hearted prayer of Esther.
We hear with a freshness how sincerely Jesus invites us to:
ask and receive
seek and find
knock and find the door opened.
Dependence is not a virtue we ordinarily admire.
Today we grow in our sense that we need God's grace very much -
even to know what is right -
but certainly to fan our desires into a flame.
Lord, on the day I called for help,
you answered me.
Psalm 138

I love these Sisters too, but didn't know about them before they returned to the Church. Has Sr. Marie Francine shown you the word in the dog's spots?
Ashley - I've not met doggie yet but maybe I will at the retreat and then I will find out about the "word"
