LIFE is a gift, and of the greatest importance!/Emotions are high watching so many march for LIFE! - LIFE/LOVE/LIGHT = Jesus!!! +JMJ+

The University of Mary at DC marching for LIFE!  My granddaughter, Therese is there too, but she won't be a student of University of Mary until  next year.  She was marching with the Diocese of Superior from Wisconsin.  I have been praying for her and all attending for these days! 

Pat, I , granddaughter, Joy and my brother, Jim, were riding on the bus up to St Paul to march in Minnesota.  The bus was canceled due to the unrest in the Twin Cities, and the extreme cold.  Emotions are very high at this anniversary of Roe v Wade and all the lives that have been lost to Abortion!  

The Name of Jesus was a passion of my father, Deacon Robert Cross!  I have his well worn prayer of The Church with each time The Name is mentioned he would circle it out  of his devotion.  I love to continue to learn at his feet!  

Archbishop Emeritus Joseph Naumann in Washington DC at the prayer for LIFE!  He is my hero and I have him to thank for standing up for LIFE and for bringing The Community of the Lamb to the heart of America - Kansas City, KS!  

He just retired from active ministry, but the love he has for LIFE runs so deep!  He is a champion for LIFE among the Bishops!  

4 bus loads of 200 attended, and next year our Therese will be with them!  

Archbishop Naumann now lives by the little brothers in his new home.  It is wonderful to share more closely with him as he joins them in prayer and worship!  

A precious picture of LIFE for me - my sister, Mary, with her premature miracle daughter, Audrey.  Mary died from Lymphoma cancer when Audrey was 20 months old leaving behind her husband farmer, Gerry, and Audrey.

LIFE is the greatest gift!!!  How did it ever get to be accepted to take an innocent life in the womb?  

Our Lady of Guadalupe is the Patroness of LIFE as she is wearing a black sash that it a sign that she is pregnant with Jesus in her womb!  So powerful!!!  

My friend Christina is now expecting her 6th child - this was a few years back - she takes her children to march for LIFE.  She is truly open to LIFE and raising LIGHTS!  

My brother, Jim and I a few years ago.  It was disappointing that we couldn't march this year due to the unrest.  

No doubt that these two are fighting hard to protect ALL LIFE from heaven!  

At Agnes Feast Day - Hallel's patron saint when she was Confirmed.  Prayers for Marisa on her way to Lourdes, and granddaughter, Therese on her way to the March in DC.  

Christmas with The Community of the Lamb and Archbishop Joseph.  Such a blessing to share more closely with this great man, now retired by the little brothers of the Lamb!  

Lifting high Jesus in His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity!  

My hero now close to my daughter and her Community of the Lamb.  

We received word that the co-founder of their Community, Jean Claude, is close to death and that Hallel has returned to their homebase - Saint Pierre, to be close to him and pray for him.  Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this time.  

School called off due to extreme cold and no internet - star wars Monopoly with breakfast sandwiches and grandpa pop.

Archbishop at the head of the procession and said the Mass for LIFE!  

My hero for LIFE and religious LIFE by bringing Hallel's Community into the heart of our country so that Hallel could say "yes" to her call.  With the Foundation in KCK we now can visit our family of the Lamb just 7 hours from our door to theirs!  And now Archbishop Joseph lives there too!!!  

Bubble bath to pass the time with no internet and too cold to go outside.  

The Jacuzzi jets make lots of bubbles!!!

From the year we were married in 1978 this man was and is my hero for Family and for LIFE!  He calls our families our Domestic Church, and so it is.  We share our Faith there and raise LIGHTS for the world!  

Archbishop preaching at the Mass for LIFE in Washington DC.  

St Agnes is such a bright LIGHT, and she is so important to intercede for our young people that are put into a Den of Prostitution as Agnes was to despoil her.  The internet makes evil just a mouse click away.  St Agnes, intercede for the young people in our lives!  

17 year old Therese and 16 year old David with their youngest sister, 4 year old Maggie.  Their purity is being protected - no phones and limited internet use!  

11 years ago with the white world all around them!  Their parents take very seriously keeping them pure! 

Words of Truth and Wisdom from St JPII!  

Jude 6 years ago with Lamb on the Feast of St Agnes.  The youngest of the 3 little boys in 6 weeks! 

LOVE her and her needed prayers for the young people's purity!  

St Agnes became very important to me when Susan/Hallel was visiting her sister, Maria, while she was studying in Rome.  Sue visited many churches of the saints and chose Agnes as the one that she wanted to look to as her Confirmation Saint.  She is also very important to her Community of the Lamb as Agnes means Lamb!  

A statue of St Agnes in Lumen Christi/LIGHT of Christ Monastery in the heart of the poor in Kansas City, KS!  There is a very powerful story of her protecting the Lamb - when the bomb dropped in Heroshima, Japan.  They found a statue of St Agnes face down and all she was missing was her hand - she had protected the Lamb!  All the surrounding was rubble - only she survived with the Lamb!  

Hallel in a picture with her Catholic Studies friend, Mary, and Fr Carrola, who introduced Susan to The Community of the Lamb while she was studying in Rome for her sophomore year.  When I told him that she had entered The Community of the Lamb - "I knew she was supposed to be a little sister."  Yes!

Hallel is currently in Rome to help the little sisters find a new home.  It is so important that they remain in Rome as they deeply touched our daughter there and led her to her vocation!  Many prayers for her mission of finding a place for The Community in Rome!  

The 3 boys in 6 weeks are now all 6 and in First Grade!  Jude is the youngest, Hector next oldest, and George is the oldest by 6 weeks from Jude!  They are best buddies!  

Jesus, you reveal to us that beauty of LIFE/LOVE/LIGHT which is your Truth here in our world of sin and darkness.  May we die to self so that we may serve without counting the cost.  St Agnes, pray for us and protect us from evil - protect purity in our young people.  Jesus, we trust in you.  Bless-bless, Barb and the 33 here and 13 in heaven - keeping our eyes on heaven as we stagger down the narrow path dragging our Most Cherished Cross!  

66 Million Babies Killed in Abortions!

Dear LifeNews Readers, Since Roe v. Wade was handed down 53 years ago, more than 66 million innocent babies have lost their lives to abortion in the United States. That’s a devastating human tragedy! Recent data reveals abortions surging once more, with estimates hitting around 1.12 million in a single recent year, fueled primarily by the rapid spread of unregulated abortion pills. Every single day, nearly 99,000 precious lives are ended – babies who deserved the chance to live, to laugh, to love, and to be loved. At LifeNews.com, we stand on the frontlines, delivering fearless pro-life journalism that uncovers the abortion industry's hidden practices, sharing inspiring testimonies from women who chose life, and elevating the voices of pro-life champions.
