“God is a lover, not a warrior, right? No, God is a lover who is a warrior. The question fails to understand what love is. Love is at war with all loves enemies. Love fights” Peter Kreeft
Mother Theresa asked Malcolm Muggeridge why he didn’t become a Catholic.
Malcolm said ‘God sees that I’m a good man and God needs some good men outside His church as well as inside’
Mother Theresa uttered 3 words
‘No, he doesn’t’
and Malcolm became a Catholic.

We need Jaels and we need Marys. Both ‘blessed among women’, both crush the head of the enemy.

Wherever we can, whenever we can and however we can we must defend life from conception to natural death.
Beautiful morning in Glasgow where I was invited to speak about lost femininity. One young man said ‘When I saw your subject I was going to leave, but I’m so glad I stayed”, so am I. Feminism has done so much harm to both men and women.
No woman should ever face harassment or intimidation for going to a healthcare appointment.
Nearly ten years ago in Opposition, I called on the Government to introduce buffer zones round abortion clinics.
Now in Government we are acting. On 31 October, it will become the law.

A Happy Birthday to my lovely dad. A gentleman. A fighter. Courageous, prudent, funny and kind. I’m so very blessed, and treasure every moment with him here on earth, until he is called home to be with my mum in heaven 🙏
This is something that needs repeating - my body is me - I do not inhabit a body like a ghost in a machine, my flesh is not something bad to shed. I cannot try on different bodies if I’m unhappy with the one I have - get happy! It’s all a gift.

“The future of the Church will be reshaped by Saints whose minds probe deeper than the slogans of the day, whose lives embrace a wider reality. We have no need of a Church that celebrates the cult of action in political prayers. It is utterly superfluous and will destroy itself”
I am a mum. 2 of my babies died in utero, and I was blessed to have others that lived. I, woman, naturally ordered by God to provide a space for life to develop in a home of love, cherish my femininity; the joys and the difficulties.
This is not a game for men to play.

'”It is perhaps no surprise that it is the art of Marko Rupnik, with his ugly, twisted, 3-eyed figures, that was chosen by Pope Francis for his year of mercy, since mercy under his pontificate has been twisted to exclude the need for repentance”
At mass this Sunday our priest mentioned….wait for it…..sin and hell.
Nobody ran away, and there was a lot of loud ‘Amen’.

Quite. I don’t go often, but when I do I immediately undertake a mental survey; making snap judgements about each persons ethnicity, level of education and wealth, and am happy to report that I have found them to be quite mixed. If I have time, I then worship.
