More Babies in Two Ways
Volume XXVI, Number 8

My Friends Who Love Children,
Man, I've been busier than spit! Happy Easter to every reader, young and old, brand-new or long-timer. Did you miss me as much as I missed you?
EMERGENCY PILGRIMAGE!
Roe v Wade is on the precipice, so I'm making an emergency pilgrimage to the Lourdes Grotto on the campus of my alma mater, Notre Dame, in South Bend this Friday, Feast of Our Lady of Fatima!
No matter where you are in the world, you can join me by fasting, praying, and offering any other kind of self-denial (at any time of day) this Friday.
If you live in the area, you're invited to meet me at the Grotto at 9:00 am to pray the Holy Rosary along with the 12-minute Daily Prayers to Save America. The weather is supposed to be perfect!
You can also submit intentions online (which I will leave at the Grotto on an encrypted flash drive) in anticipation of our annual Immaculate Conception Mass.

Friendship and EvangelizationNext, I have great, great news about something amazing you did (and maybe forgot about) that will definitely bring a lot more Catholic babies into the world over the next twenty years.
You may recall that last year I told you about an ambitious national project to help inspire true holiness in the current generation of devout Catholic twenty-somethings while simultaneously evangelizing our lukewarm and fallen-away children and grandchildren.
It's called the Catholic Young Adult Group Network and went it "live" in the United States and Canada during Holy Week!
It required an investment of a lot of money, so before you take a look, keep in mind that it was your financial sacrifice which allowed this complex and time-consuming project to become a reality.
In fact, you'll enjoy my "shout out" to you at the bottom of each page on the new website. Here it is:
This network is on a shoestring budget. It's supported by the sacrificial gifts of Mary Foundation benefactors, primarily parents and grandparents who care about your happiness and future.
(Did you take a good look around? Feel free to go back and type in your town or the state where you were born. Look up the different categories such as Adoration, or Social Life. Click a few pins on the map. No rush.)
Thank you! You really did build that, and we're just getting started. We're adding hundreds of groups per week. (This announcement coming right after Mother's Day is icing on the cake.)
Tell People About It!Now I need you to do your part. You have a big, big role to play in letting all the parents you know (in additional to your young adult children and grandchildren) about this network. Share this email. Post links on your social media accounts. Give them a call. Send a text.
Young Catholics, even those who are not serious about their faith, are aching for meaningful social connection.
In fact, our research during our Cleveland "beta test" last year confirmed that a significant percentage of Catholic young adults discover groups through their parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents.
From now on, no matter where they live, if there's a group in the area, Catholic young adults will discover it with ease—and find devout friends and spouses at an amazing variety of social and spiritual events.
Mark my words: this network will foster countless marriages, conversions, and babies! It will eventually effect the lives of millions directly (and many, many more people indirectly).
How can I be so sure that this new tool for evangelization will lead to marriages and babies? Well, my son and our general manager, Xavier, met his lovely fiancé Carolyn at the very first "test" event here in Cleveland last summer and they're getting married this September!
Now there's a good sign that we're on the right track.
I'm Packing Your Order!
As the rest of my coworkers (all young adults who conceived and designed this network) worked non-stop to bring this project into reality, I have been filling in as "temporary" operations manager, which means...
...that if you order anything from us through Thursday, I will personally pack and ship your materials in our world-class operations center.
See All Our Catholic GiftsI really do enjoy "operations" work, which hearkens back to the old days, when we invented our groundbreaking super-efficient, super-affordable, high-quality, and lovingly personal "system" in the early 1990s. Plus, it's a chance to evaluate and even suggest a few minor innovations to my coworkers. I have personally processed and packed several thousand orders over the decades.
Nothing would make me happier than toiling deep into the night preparing and labeling packages chock full of our beautiful tools for evangelization just for you.
Overwhelm me!
More Babies, Part Two
The "leaked" Supreme Court majority opinion overturning Roe v Wade is not set in stone, but the final ruling will be announced in a matter of weeks.
The mainstream media has degenerated into demon-guided propaganda for blood sacrifice, so it is not worth sorting through lie after lie (although it's part of my job to do so as a kind of occupational hazard).
If the power to determine abortion law is returned to the people of individual states, abortion will not end, but it will decrease significantly by being be banned in several states and restricted in others. (It may actually increase slightly in liberal states.)
Even so, the "news" is a distraction. The war, horrific as it is, is a distraction. The ongoing financial turmoil (which will get worse before it gets better) is a distraction. But a distraction from what, exactly?
During the past few years, especially through the Mantle of Mary Project, you have been recruited by Our Lady into this apostolate precisely so you could charge the front lines in this supernatural battle to save babies from destruction.
Our Eternal Father has all of this in his mighty hands.
Your calling is to pray and fast to support America's Guardian Angel and his heavenly host of battle angels as they cast the demons back into hell, especially by offering and letting others know about the powerful exorcism prayers for the laity embedded into the Daily Prayers to Save America, which you have already distributed by the tens of thousands.
The Law is a TeacherI assume you can follow analysis from various pro-life sources, especially LifeSite News. Yet here is an important foundational idea I have not yet come across:
Saint Thomas Aquinas reiterated that "the law is a teacher." That is, every human law is founded upon morality, and thus "speaks" about right and wrong.
People naturally presume that illegal acts are immoral and legal acts are moral. Ever since Roe in 1973, our satanic national law (imposed upon our states) has taught that murder of the most vulnerable and innocent is perfectly moral.
When Roe falls, the legal shift itself will be an improvement and less contrary to natural and divine law. It will remain a profound tragedy that our national law will continue to allow abortion, but it will also be an improvement that the law in some states will "teach" that a child in the womb is a human being who cannot be killed.
What You Can DoIf you're praying the Daily Prayers to Save America, remain faithful. It's working! If you are not, consider joining us.
I believe the coming victory is a direct result of Father John Anthony Boughton prophetic inspiration to pin the Mantle of Mary over America way back in 2020.
And, in whatever way and on whatever days the Holy Spirit leads you, combine my daily fasting with your own self-denial, especially this Friday when I'm at Notre Dame on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima.
Quote of the Day
"We're gonna fight! And we're gonna win!"
- Starship Troopers (1997 Movie)
We begin our worldwide cyber prayer, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit...
Father Almighty and Everlasting, we do not know what will happen to us or the nations of the world for the rest of 2022, we only know that nothing will happen that was not foreseen by you and directed to our greater good from all eternity. We adore your holy and unfathomable plans, and submit to them with all our hearts for love of You, your Holy Spirit, your risen Son Jesus, your One Catholic Church, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Amen.
Great prayer, right? Thanks for praying with me and tens of thousands of CatholiCity Citizens worldwide.
Remember: explore the new Catholic Young Adult Groups website, pray and do reparation with me this Friday during my emergency pilgrimage.
And make me work long, long, long hours packing up your tools for evangelization.
I love you guys! Peace out. Mary in.
With Saint Joseph,
