Main cause of death in the world, today, is abortion ( Spanish) Primera causa de muerte en el mundo: aborto.

En la última década se ha presumido mucho el logro liberador para la mujer de un acceso libre al “servicio médico del aborto”, arguyendo que las mujeres ya no mueren en abortos clandestinos hechos en malas condiciones. Pero, para sorpresa de todos, en las últimas estadísticas presentadas por la  propia Organización Mundial de la Salud OMS del 2019, el aborto resultó ser la primera causa de muerte en el mundo.

La presentación de las estadísticas que hace esta Organización no deja ver la realidad en forma evidente, pues como no consideran el aborto como una causa de muerte, no lo incluye en el cuadro de la métrica de “principales causas de muerte en el mundo”. Pero si juntamos los datos que esta Organización proporciona sobre aborto y causas de muerte del mismo año, se puede ver la alarmante realidad: (2)



Efectivamente, la comparación muestra que al año mueren más mujeres dentro del vientre materno (entre 21 millones y 35 millones) que mujeres que se practican un aborto clandestino (entre 22 mil y 65 mil aproximadamente) (3)

Además, habría que subrayar, dentro de este genocidio, el feminicidio que implica la cantidad de “mujeres faltantes” que mueren antes de ver la luz por el simple hecho de ser mujer. Este aborto selectivo se lleva a un millón y medio de mujeres en India, China y otros países: (4)

 

 

Entre todo este mar de pérdida humana hay algunas luces de esperanza en países que han optado por proteger a los no nacidos y en donde el número de abortos es menor. Tal es el caso de México, que es el país con el menor porcentaje de abortos en el Mundo. Otros países como Polonia y Portugal pueden agradecer a sus raíces cristianas el hecho de que hay un  esmero en la protección al bebé no nacido y una menor aceptación a una “solución” que ha demostrado matar más mujeres además de dejar padres y madres afectadas.

The Memorare

By Helen Gonsalves -

This popular prayer, a favorite of many Catholics, dates back to the 15th century and takes its name from the first Latin word of the prayer, "memorare," which means "remember." The Memorare is of unknown authorship, although it has been attributed to St. Augustine (354-430), St. John Chrysostom (c. 347-407) and, with more reason, to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (c. 1090-1153). St. Bernard's sermons on Mary were famous, and it was his Cistercian monks in the monastery of Citeaux in the 12th century who popularized the name "Our Lady" for Mary. The Memorare has also been attributed to the French cleric Claude Bernard (1588-1641), known as the "poor priest" of Paris, whose homilies contain passages that echo its words. No matter who wrote this prayer, it was Father Bernard who did much to popularize it, teaching it in hospitals and prisons, where Mary's intercession was effective in working miracles of grace. The first manuscript of the Mem

The Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary

By -

This is the image most often associated with the writings of the Belgian mystic Berthe Petit. She promoted devotion to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary. During my preparation for the retreat I am giving at the end of the month in Pantasaph, North Wales, I began reading a book by the late John Haffert (once the lay leader of the Blue Army of Fatima). His theory in the book, which speaks of God's "last effort" to convert the world before the coming chastisement, is that we are now living in the third or fourth "day" of the Fatima week. At this time, according to Haffert, we should be promoting devotion to The Immaculate Heart of Mary. I also consulted another book by Dr. Courtnay Bartholomew (whom I have been privileged to meet) which also speaks of the importance of this devotion, linking it with the writings and visions of the mystic Berthe Petit, and the importance of the full title of the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. These things will feature in

Why Modesty Is Not Subjective

Hi there, ya'll!  The modest fashion world is one very diverse place.  Even among Catholics, the definition of "modest apparel" can vary greatly from person to person.  Recently I joined a Facebook group that advertised itself as a haven for Catholic women of all ages to share ideas for modest style and makeup and was hoping to learn more about modesty from my fellow Catholic sisters.  After a few days of being a member, though, I sadly left the group feeling a bit discouraged.  No two members seemed to agree on ANY aspect of modesty whatsoever, and the prevailing theme of the whole group was that modesty is subjective, it means something different for each woman and each woman gets to decide what she considers is "modest".  One woman very emphatically declared that she wears bikinis every summer to the beach and doesn't feel that this violates the virtue of modesty in the least.  The same woman also announced that she was never going to caution her d
