The Little Sisters Of The Poor--In The Front Lines
Remember the Little Sisters of the Poor? They're the order of nuns whose mission is to care for the elderly poor who are destitute. They fund their work by begging and take no government money. They're a danger to the American Way Of Life, and so they're persecuted by our Establishment:
Federal Court Forces Little Sisters of the Poor to Fund Abortions Under Obamacare Mandate

A traditionally liberal federal appeals court HAS RULED once again that the Little Sisters of the Poor have to pay for abortions under their health insurance plan under the Obamacare mandate.
Over the past three years the Supreme Court has twice protected the Catholic nuns, but pro-abortion state officials have filed new lawsuits trying to force the Catholic order to pay for abortions in their health care plan. Today, a 3-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit issued a decision.
The panel’s ruling invalidated the new pro-life rules the Trump administration put in place to protect the Catholic nuns and others from being forced to fund abortions.

We received this email missive this morning:
It has been several weeks since the "Stay at Home" order was implemented here.
As I am writing this, I can say, thank God that we have had no positive cases of coronavirus among our Residents, staff, or the Little Sisters.
Our Sisters and Staff are working diligently to keep our Residents safe. Please keep us in your prayers. We want nothing more than to keep everyone in our Home safe and healthy.
We also want you to know that we are praying for you and your families. Four times each day we stop what we are doing and join together, Residents, Little Sisters and staff, in prayer.
Although we can’t say the rosary side by side, Residents and Sisters sit in their doorways and pray together each day.
A prayer box filled with your prayer requests sits next to a statue of St. Joseph, who we entrust all your intentions. The last Sunday of the month, the box is taken to the Chapel, where a Mass is offered for you. Be assured that every time we pray we remember your intentions.
Do you have a special intention
you would like us to remember in prayer?
Email Sr. Amy Marie at clpalatine@ littlesistersofthepoor.org
and we will put it into our prayer box and include it in our prayers.
During these difficult times, we do have a reason for hope for Christ is Risen and Living by our Side!
Sr. Margaret Charles, lsp
