Today...
... the House of Commons debates the Human Embryology and Fertilisation Bill. It will be a grim day if this horrible legislation goes through in the form in which it has been presented. Prayers...
I am really disappointed in the vote; I thought that they would consider it immoral but it seems we are no better than the Germans doing their experimentations in the last war. And no good will come of it - spiritually or otherwise. I pray for a reversal of this decision and a turning of people's hearts and minds.
Auntie has learned, with mingled pleasure and amusement, that her Blog annoys some people, especially angry dogmatic ones, and entertains and encourages others of a gentler sort. This has confirmed her decision to continue blogging although Auntie's life is busy and she has duties and responsibilities which on the whole she knows to be of more importance.
Auntie enjoys (although not neccesarily in this order)her work (writer, biographer, historian) and domestic duties, academic studies(Maryvale Institute), family, friends, and community responsibilities. She relishes the new translation of the Mass, the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, her own excellent local Catholic parish, traditional hymns (especially, perhaps, Anglican ones) rain, good literature, sleep, the English coast, Autumn, buttered toast, and a number of other things too precious and important to list here. She feels priviledged to belong to a Church which produced John Paul II and Benedict XVI and she finds their teachings an inspiration.

There was an overwhelming majority voting in favour of the bill. This country has signed its own death warrant.
Heaven help the United Kingdom!

On so sad a day, let us pray for grace to forgive those who kill babies,
