A Deo et Rege

Blessed Margaret was born blind, lame, deformed and hunchbacked. Her parents kept her walled in the side of a chapel, only allowing her to leave for mass and the Sacraments. They took her to be healed and when she wasn’t, they abandoned her. Considered an outcast and useless, she nonetheless became a lay Dominican and lived a life of charity and prayer. In the Catholic Church she is patroness of the disabled, the handicapped, and physically challenged people.

It looks like things are not looking good judicially. It’s in God’s hands. Let’s keep praying and fighting the good fight politically. Terri can find no justice.

With the recent court decisions, Terri’s situation certainly looks grim. However, we should not put our trust in princes (or their appointees), but in God. I am going to offer up a day of fasting and prayer for Terri Schiavo today and I urge others to do the same. Time may be running out, but there is still hope.
