Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Praying here...with quiet and solemn concern for all our dear babies who have been lost to abortion in the past and for all of those dear babies in danger of abortion in the future.

Praying for our president-elect and for all our government officials.
Just simply praying and praying hard...

***MODERATOR'S FINAL NOTE***

As Moderators, we are aware of the tumult surrounding the recent election - we've felt it in our own families. We are also homeschooling moms ourselves with families and needs beyond this board. We are not a policing agency. We count on you, the member to self-police statements and always, always seek to foster an Atmosphere of Respect.

Atmosphere of Respect wrote:
Now, while we make every effort to be tough on topics in order to learn from charitable back and forth when appropriate, we place a higher priority on being tender with the people involved. This tenderness especially looks to avoid detraction and concerns all people to include members and moderators, those on the message board and off, those making headlines and personal family members, and those of faiths that are not Catholic, to name a few.


We've voted for whomever we thought (prayed, discerned, hoped) was the best candidate, the election is over, we have a new president-elect. Our job as Americans is to work for the good of the country. Our job as Catholics is to keep building a culture of life. Our job as Catholic homeschooling moms on this board is to keep this board respectful, courteous, and informative.

We are so grateful and encouraged by the many posts offering positive perspectives, prayers for the future, and of course action items for involvement in the pro-life movement. These discussions will always be welcome here.

We have asked repeatedly in multiple threads that a tone of charity always be taken. In How We Moderate we state:

How We Moderate wrote:
If a member attacks the Catholic faith or another person, moderators will skip the above steps and quickly edit or delete posts or lock and delete the thread immediately.


Any post that is prefaced "moderators can delete this if they like" will automatically be deleted.

One thing we can all do -- some easier than others of course -- is do what we can to come to DC for the National Pro-Life March on January 22, 2009. This is 2 days after the inauguration and nothing would send a better sign than LOTS of living people standing up for life!

And if you can't come all the way to DC, maybe you can help support a youth group from your parish or local schools .... or go to the Pro-Life in your town or nearby ...

Prayers for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for ALL Americans and others is what we need to work toward regardless of who is in the White House, on Capitol Hill or in the Halls of the Supreme Court.

We were away on holidays the week of the elections, but we made a trip to Marian Valley on our Tuesday to pray for this intention all day, we held you all close to our hearts during that week (I hope to blog with pictures about it soon, our visit to this most beautiful shrine) and continue to now, sharing in your feelings at present. This has had a profound effect on me, the last few months and the result, I am going to hold these intentions closer to my heart continuously for you all in the States and in my country, Australia.
