Letter from the President
Are you a Radical Zealot? Well, that is how the mainstream media refers to people who are pro-life. I never considered myself to be radical because I thought my beliefs were grounded in the most fundamental principal that most people believed in…that life is to be cherished and protected at every stage. But clearly I was wrong. How did we get to this point that it is ok to kill who we want when we want as long as the courts allow it? Unfortunately, the media does not always focus on the truth. Most journalists seem to be pro-abortion and let their views filter into their reporting. How bad is it? This may seem a little radical, (I’m a radical zealot anyway, right?) but I stopped watching television. Even our local news and favorite TV shows seem to be leaning further and further to the left on most issues anymore. This is not surprising since God is not part of their agenda. Charles Chaput quoted, “We need to know how the media works, so they don’t work on us.” Take your blinders off when watching television. Be aware of how they are trying to push their agenda on us and react by calling the television station or boycotting shows altogether. As Winston Churchill once said, “Never give up.” Together, we can make a difference. The good news is that with all the bias and false reporting out there, we still do have hope. More and more people are becoming aware and witnessing the repercussions of this Culture of Death that we live in. There is beginning to be a shift amongst Americans to pro-life. The public is worked up and reacting. The truth is slowly penetrating into the hearts and minds of people all over. We can no longer be silent on the issues that are at the core of who Christ created us to be. Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Roe v Wade was built on a lie. And at the hands of that lie, 50 million innocent children paid the ultimate price. We cannot allow our family and friends to buy into the lie of abortion. Too many lives are at stake. So, let’s stop being a culture of selfishness and death and strive to be a culture of Selflessness and Life.
In His Service, Melissa Crousey President Westmoreland County Right to Life
Your Word teaches that where our treasure is, there our heart shall be. Your Gospel enlightens us that you are love, that when we live in love, we live in you.
Teach us to treasure your love, O God. Help us to live from our energetic hearts. Give us the courage to fall in love with you. Show us how to love ourselves, our families, our friends, and even those we do not like or understand. Help us to make room in our hearts for the stranger and those most in need.
Warm our frozen hearts, direct our searching hearts, and heal our broken hearts with your perfect love. Lead us to love, which is our true destiny. On this day and every day make our hearts one with yours.
