October Baby

  
  I have great news! We are successful with our attempt of making the movie "October Baby" popular! This is the sign I saw walking into Walmart the other day so that everyone can see. If you havn't seen this movie yet, you really have to!

September 20th Meeting

     Attendance: David, Ben, Suzanne, Jaden, Jordan, Daniel, Alex, Mary, Jacob, Katie, and myself.
     How to be pro life everyday: show everyone your love of life,  Give a voice to the voiceless without saying a word.  Wear a pro life t-shirt, a pro life cause bracelet, or the Precious Feet pin.
     On being a virtuous leader: The virtue for September is Fortitude.  Fortitude is like courage.  A person is willing to put themselves out there to defend a good cause, such as life.  When you give a voice to the voiceless, you are exercising fortitude.
     Gospel meditation: We always talk about whose better but we have to remember what we do on earth doesn't matter as long as we please God.  We are supposed to accept and appreciate children, even our siblings. It's odd how the disciples knew they were doing something wrong but they wouldn't admit it when Jesus asked.  We don't have to do anything extra ordinary to be saints, even the lowly can obtain great holiness.  Whoever has the faith of a child will be in Heaven faster than someone who resists God and think they know better.  People think they're better than others because they're more mature or maybe smarter or wealthier, but Jesus said as long as you have a heart of a child you will have a good faith.

First Meeting :)

     We had our first meeting this past Thursday, 9/13, and the turn out was pretty good for the first time! Suzanne, Ben, David, Katie, Billy, Daniel, Jaden, Jordan, Mary, and myself were all there. If we could get more people, to come, that would be awesome!
     During each meeting, we would like to share some tips on how you can be pro life everyday.  Here's our tip for this week: Football Games. How does football games have to deal with being pro life? Two words: After Party. If you find yourself at one of those parties, which isn't bad, just make sure that you keep CHASTITY and CHASTE behavior in mind while there.  The first step to being pro life is being chaste.
     Also, ever week we have a Gospel Meditation. This week's scripture was Mark 8:27-35.  Here were our thoughts on it. Jesus wanted each person to figure out who He was themselves because it shows that they care.  God cares about us as a whole, but also individually.  People who come to Church on Sunday but don't show their faith on a daily basis won't go to Heaven once they die as soon as those who go to Sunday Church and also live out there faith every day.  If you want to go to Heaven then you have to give up your possessions and follow Him.  God doesn't want you to bring your x-box, T.V., nor iPhone to Heaven, only your sole. Jesus was humble when He came down to earth.  Most people expected Him to come down and conquer the world all at once but He came down as a baby.  St. Peter was rebuked by Jesus, so that gives us hope to one day possibly become a saint too even though we don't always do the right things. 
     If you are free this Thursday, 9/20, then you should definitely come to the Life Teen Center from 7-9 to check out the group.
