"Getting to the Heart of the Matter" is what Sister Mary Lucy Astuto pinpoints in every issue when she takes a common sense approach to living our faith with her practical columns.

    This weekend, Sister rues the most recent ruling by the Supreme Court over the striking down of the Partial-Birth Abortion ban in her own home state of Nebraska. She laments that so many Catholics think they can be pro-choice and still be good Catholics. It is not possible because pro-choice means condoning murder and murder is a mortal sin both by the ones who commit it and those who knowlingly stand by and allow it. The guy driving the gettaway car is as guilty as the guy who pulls the trigger. They're all accomplices, just as those who vote for pro-abort candidates are accomplices to furthering the culture of death and turning their backs on God and His innocent ones. The avenging angels of these little ones, so cruelly ripped from their mother's wombs, will have their day. Right now they're weeping for America for we just don't get it! Satan may have won this battle, but his day will come when he tastes total defeat and is crushed beneath the heel of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We can only pray and hope America wakes up...and soon as she explains in her column, This is satan's hour!.

    Her column provides effective, vital insights into our faith and ways of fulfilling God's Will every day in every way. You can visit Sr. Lucy at her web site for Heart of Mary Ministry at http://www.heartofmaryministry.com or you can reach her at Srmarylucy @aol.com by e-mail.
