 Ash Wednesday, Feb 17th - Palm Sunday, March 28th.
Last fall, over 300 people from our diocese prayed peacefully across the street from the abortion center near 45th Street and Village Blvd. Your prayerful public witness does change minds and hearts. Please, prayerfully consider joining us as part of your Lenten Sacrifice and penance. 40 Days is sponsored by FACE Life and endorsed by Bishop Barbarito. Visit the national site at www.40DaysforLife.com or our local website at www.40dayspalmbeach.com.

WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 20, 2009—Today a group of
prominent Christian clergy, ministry leaders and scholars released the
Manhattan Declaration, which addresses the sanctity of life,
traditional marriage and religious liberty. The 4,700-word declaration
issues a clarion call to Christians to adhere to their convictions and
informs civil authorities that the signers will not—under any
circumstance—abandon their Christian consciences. Drafted by Dr.
Robert George, Dr. Timothy George and Chuck Colson and signed by more
than 150 Orthodox, Catholic and evangelical Christian leaders, the
Manhattan Declaration was made public at a noon ET press conference
held in the Lisagor Room at the National Press Club. 
A Call of Christian Conscience
Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their
faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to
protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning
with the family. We
are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at
this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common
good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers
alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are: - the sanctity of human life
- the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
- the rights of conscience and religious liberty.
Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and
the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable.
Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our
culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their
defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what
pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or
compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any
political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and
risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Congress is working on health care reform but unless abortion funding is explicitly excluded, this bill could mean the biggest expansion of abortion in decades. Please call your Representative and Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them that you do not want the health care reform bill to fund abortions. For more information online, visit www.priestforlife.org/legislation.

Just 22 days after conception a human embryo’s heart begins beating. The little heart will beat nearly 54 million times before he or she is born!
By 6 weeks plus 2 days after conception the brain waves of an unborn child can be recorded by EEG (electroencephalogram).
At just 10 weeks after conception nails and fingerprints begin to emerge in patterns that will uniquely identify a child throughout his or her entire life.
At 9 weeks after conception unborn children begin thumb-sucking. Between 12 and 16 weeks they often touch their mouths, up to 50 times an hour. Teeth start to grow by 13 weeks. Beginning at 14 weeks developmental differences between boys and girls begin to appear: female fetuses move their mouths much more frequently than males.

From the blog And Sometimes Tea.
It has been ten years since photographer Michael Clancy, then
pro-choice, took some pictures during a fetal surgery that changed his
mind about abortion. And that famous picture is still changing minds
and hearts about abortion--something the little boy in the original picture is very happy about:
"When
I see that picture, the first thing I think of is how special and lucky
I am to have God use me that way," Samuel told FOXNews.com. "I feel
very thankful that I was in that picture."

We are a Baptismal people promised to God in Jesus Christ, in faith and hope and, under the guidance of the Spirit, we are committed to completing the work of Christ here in West Palm Beach and throughout the world.
March is dedicated to St. Joseph
Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; 21 she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
Matthew 1:20b-21 RSV Oh,
St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the
throne of God, I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh, St. Joseph,
do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your
divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So
that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my
thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh, St. Joseph, I
never weary contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not
approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him close in my name and
kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my
dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me. .
