Irrevocable commitment both to the Catholic priesthood and to the uncompromising, unwavering defense of unborn children

December 6, 2011

Dear Friends,

As we progress toward Christmas, I wanted to give you the assurance that I’m doing fine as I continue my fulltime pro-life work from my temporary residence here at the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, a wonderful charismatic, Franciscan community of Sisters in Prayer Town, TX (see www.dljc.org). All of our Priests for Life projects are moving full speed ahead and our Advisory Board of Bishops, with whom I recently met, are fully supportive.

I want to share with you today this special document, which I signed in 2006, along with Bishop Yanta. It represents what’s in my heart and soul, that is, my irrevocable commitment both to the Catholic priesthood and to the uncompromising, unwavering defense of unborn children, on a full time basis for the rest of my life. What’s in the heart and soul of someone who makes a commitment does not go away with a stroke of a pen. And the Church supports this kind of commitment and, in fact, calls for it, based on the Biblical mandate to give our very lives for one another.

May I finally ask you to double your usual donation to Priests for Life as we come to the end of this year. Some people, not knowing all the facts of the present circumstance, have hesitated to continue their giving. That would not be a problem, were it not for the fact that the daily dismemberment and decapitation of children continues in abortion clinics. It does continue, and we need money to work to try to stop it. So please be generous, at www.priestsforlife.org/donate.

Talk to you soon.

Merry Christmas!
