The CatholiCity Message

Volume III, Number 9 – March 30, 1999

Dear CatholiCity Citizen,

We hope you have a grace-filled Holy Week.

1. TWENTY-FOUR HOUR DEATH TOLL
During the previous twenty-four hours, four thousand tiny human beings were dismembered in their mother's wombs, and their remains were then placed into plastic bags and thrown into the garbage, or were flushed into the sewer system, or were incinerated.

During that same time frame, an estimated fourteen thousand tiny human beings were killed by the pill, the IUD, and other chemical abortificients, the vast majority of these deaths unknown to the parents.

Their blood cries out to heaven for vengeance, and if you are under the impression that Almighty God does not hear their cries, you are mistaken.

2. LET US PRAY
Please join us. "Eternal Father, we offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, of Your dearly beloved Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins, and those of the whole world."

3. THE WORST EVER
Last weekend, the author of Saint Jude Media's 3rd novel-in-progress got into a full-speed car accident while driving to a Marian Conference in Chicago. We assure you that he was paying full attention and was alert and awake at the time. Despite getting knocked around and hitting he head, he suffered *no* injuries. Not a scratch. The other guy was okay, too. But his vehicle was demolished. It was the worst car wreck of his life, and the only serious one in over a decade–and he tells us he's been in a few during the 1,500,000+ miles he's driven since high school. We guess it just wasn't his time to go. We're sure those of you who pray for him as he writes House of Gold should be thanked. Thank you! Meanwhile, back at home, his family was trying to deal with the raw sewage that was backing up into the house. This kind of stuff is par for the course when Saint Jude Media is preparing to release novels. Keep praying, please.

4. MARY FOUNDATION
The Mary Foundation is the "parent" organization of CatholiCity. We give out free audio tapes. We don't do any fund-raising. Over the past three months, our revenues from free will donations have dropped by a very large percentage. Please pray, if it is Our Lady's desire, for this trend to reverse.

8. SUDAN'S HOLY WEEK DIFFERENT FROM OURS
In recent years, an estimated 1.8 million Christians have been killed by their Muslim tormentors in the Sudan, Africa. Crucifixion is still practiced there. Our opinion: our problems, car wrecks and all, seem small by comparison.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: AN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT
"Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, 'I am thirsty.' A jar of vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, 'It is finished.' With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."
Saint John the Apostle, the One Whom Jesus Loved

No jokes during Holy Week.

With the Holy Cross,

Your Friends at CatholiCity
