Catholic sister to speak at Republican Convention

Sr. Deirdre “Dede” Byrne, POSC. A woman with an amazing resume. She is scheduled for Day three, Wednesday the 26th. This is in contrast to the "Nun on the Bus" Sister Simone Campbell, who spoke at the Democrat Convention and in the past supported abortion.   She very recently hedged her position. "I’m a lawyer. I would have to study it more intensely than I have,” she said in a recent interview.

Hit the link below for the full story of Sister Dede.

A surgeon, retired army officer, missionary, and Catholic religious sister is among the featured speakers at this week’s Republican National Convention. The convention, which takes place over four days this week, will officially nominate President Donald Trump for reelection. Sr. Deirdre “Dede” Byrne, POSC, was announced as a speaker by the Trump campaign on Sunday, and she has one of the most unique resumes of any speaker to address the convention. A retired colonel in the U.S. Army and a member of the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Byrne has served overseas as a soldier and a missionary.

 

Bernadette Harris - Rest in Peace

A right to life star is getting her reward. No doubt escorted through the gates by the Blessed Mother, who Bernadette had a deep devotion to... Bernadette left us last Friday.

She sent around this picture last Tuesday, with the short note below it - she had a neck issue

It Really works PG....keep those prayers coming they never get wasted..

Bernadette has had saintly friends in high places for decades - see the dates on these two notes - the first is from 1995.

And from 1990!

Enough said - except Bernadette pray for all those you've left behind.

Prayer request: Joan Andrews Bell and Dan Brusstar

We rarely post prayer requests - if we did, it would overwhelm the site! But we are making an exception for these two people.

Joan (needs no introduction) had surgery several weeks ago and is "on the road to recovery."

Dan Brusstar in the 90's was co-head of BORN (Bi-state Operation Rescue Network) - he and his family have made huge sacrifices over the years for the prolife cause. Dan has had serious health issues for several years with multiple surgeries.

This from an email we received over the weekend. Only initials (or jail nicknames!) for names, except Dan & Joan.

 

Dan Brusstar had major surgery today that could have killed him (so the surgeons warned Quarry), but didn't. Here is L W's report about it, indented:

 

     All done. Dan's vital signs are good and he is in recovery. Took about six hours. Kathy said it was a scary pre-op. The plastic surgeon had to move skin from the stomach area to cover the wound opening, the urologist had to put a stint in and the main surgeon took out the intestines. He has a long recovery ahead of him. They will have to monitor his pain and keep a close eye on infection. He weighs 121 pounds, but he made it through. Thank you all for praying. It is a great relief that he's alive! Thank God.

 

Know B C's bride had comparable surgery, & didn't long survive lost intestines: may it prove otherwise with our great friend & comrade, sustained by our prayers. Joan too having a slow & one fears likely painful recovery from serious surgery a couple weeks past.

 

So midst our afflictions, blessings to be recalled, not least that we've granted the high privilege of living in era graced by Awesome & Joan.

This AM; 2 students arrested for CHALKING "Black Pre-born Lives Matter" on public sidewalk

In Washington DC, outside - but on public sidewalk - of Planned Parenthood. Attached are two videos and the statement from the email we received this morning from Students for Life of America (SFLA). If you read the textofr the email, you'll see that the students  - young man and a woman - had a permit and "followed all the rules" but were arrested anyway.

 

And a second video with the students explaining what they were doing before they started chalking.

 

Here's the statement from SFLA -

Two of our pro-life students were ARRESTED in Washington, D.C. early this morning.

Their crime?

Writing “BLACK PREBORN LIVES MATTER” in chalk on a public sidewalk in front of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility.

As you likely know, the mayor of Washington, D.C. recently ordered BLACK LIVES MATTER be painted on a public street near the White House. Protesters then added the message “DEFUND THE POLICE” next to the city-sanctioned mural.

After talking with our lawyers, we know that their actions opened up city streets for painting political messages and that they must give equal access to groups like Students for Life.

So we sent a letter (that thousands of our supporters like you signed) to the mayor insisting she allow us to paint our life-affirming message on the streets of Washington, D.C. too.

We worked with the police. We purchased the type of paint, temporary paint, they told us to get. We had our face masks on. And we even got a permit to be in front of the Planned Parenthood.

We followed all the rules.

But, when we showed up this morning, the police were waiting for us with six police cars. They told us if we painted the streets they would arrest us. So, as a backup, we decided to begin chalking our pro-life message on the public sidewalk in front of the Planned Parenthood like we do every Saturday.

They arrested our students anyway.

I’ve been on the phone with our lawyers all morning long, so forgive me for being brief.
