On this special Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, may we pray asking our Mother to place her mantle around the youth of our country and show them the beauty and virtue of purity.
Planned Parenthood is seeping into everything. A good friend of mine started teaching 9th-grade Religious Ed. this year at our parish, and when sexuality came up, some of the students ACTUALLY THOUGHT that pre-marital sex was only a sin if you didn’t use a condom! My friend, of course, talked to them about why pre-marital and extra-marital sex is always wrong and why condoms and other contraception methods are intrinsically evil; slowly but surely, I think my friend will make an impact on these kids. Planned Parenthood’s message of “safe” sex infiltrating the minds of our young (and their parents).
And yet there is hope, as there always is in Jesus. I think that a counter-cultural revolution is slowly building among young people, and this Planned Parenthood initiative is in part the devil’s response.
I pray that one day all Catholics will present a united front against such evils as Planned Parenthood and non-abstinence-based sex-ed. Truth will stand against everything thrown against it, so let’s let our Lady lead us into battle for the Truth.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy Womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
