Red Envelope Campaign 2010 Launched (www.prolifekelowna.com)

Let the PMO know 41 years of unborn child-killing in Canada is 41 years too many.

May 14, 2010 marks 41 years since the Parliament of Canada passed Justice Minister Pierre Trudeau's omnibus bill removing criminal sanctions for abortion in Canada under certain circumstances (these included the emotional health of the mother, abortionspeak for 'for any reason at all'). Since that time, it is estimated that nearly 4 million unborn babies have been killed by abortion, depriving Canada of the invaluable contributions they may have made to society.



Last year, pro lifers across Canada sent in empty red envelopes reminding Prime Minister Harper of the tragedy of abortion, and the Kelowna Right to Life Society is encouraging people to do the same this year.


Sending in an empty envelope with the message, "This envelope represents one child lost to abortion. It is empty because that child was not permitted to contribute anything to this nation" is a simple and inexpensive way for anyone to make a positive contribution for the pro life cause. No postage is required to send mail to Canadian MPs, and people are encouraged to send an envelope to their local MP as well.


Red envelopes are available for purchase at Staples office centres in a variety of shapes and sizes, or for pick up at the Kelowna Right to Life office on Springfield Road. They can also easily be made by printing this simple template out onto a sheet of red paper.


The mailing address for Prime Minister Harper is:


The Right Honorable Steven Harper
The Office of the Prime Minister
80 Wellington Street
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0A2

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
