2026 Mass Dates – But WHY Witness

Why there is still a need for witness

The simple answer begins with a question. Has every heart been won for Christ? Too often we have allowed the questions regarding Life to be dictated not merely by emotion or politics, but worse by fad or popularity. Our forefathers in the Declaration of Independence declared Life to be a self-evident and unalienable Right endowed by our Creator. And for those of us native to the country we were grandfathered in under this Right. And like many children in families where freedom is completely unrestrained, the children find themselves becoming spoiled and often ignore or take for granted the wisdom of the previous generation. So it was in 1972 when Roe rejected the wishes of our forefathers and a prideful generation sought it’s own self-interests placing the well being of our entire nation at risk. Willfully destroying an entire generation of our own people, and attacking the family to the point of making it nearly undefinable and non-existent.

And while the overturning of Roe does begin to turn us in a direction of our forefather’s original thoughts of Life’s self-evidence, we still have drifted so far away. When for many the belief that government is the creator and therefore the decider of Life, well, Life no longer seems to be so self-evident. Noise, chaos, and confusion begin to enter into the decision making processes and what was once self-evident is now lost in the darkness of self-absorption. This self-obsession obnubilates the mind on when life begins. The self-seeking justify alleviating the “suffering” (the difficulties of motherhood) faced by one person, by allowing and causing the death of another. Yet, how did killing the child provide any real help to the mother? Is she any less hungry? Better educated? Any more financially solvent? That so called problem, that child, was going to provide her the one thing she needed most in her life, unconditional love and acceptance. That child in the womb is a direct reflection of the Infant Jesus and why he came to us as a baby. BECAUSE babies like God give their Love unconditionally. Yet, for that Love to grow a person must put aside ones own self-importance and choose to foster love. By giving the self over in true Love to that baby, one receives back even a greater Love all the more.

So that is why we witness, out of Love. To foster Love. To encourage Love.

So come and pray with us every 2^nd Saturday @ 7am @ St. Louis Bertrand
