A Sad Day for Humanity

At 1:00 PM EST today our country will begin starving a disabled woman to death. The sheer statement is horrifying in its implications, but it is unfortunately true. Today, Congressional subpoenas were issued by the US House in a last-ditch effort to delay the murder. And Terri's parents have another legal appeal in the Florida court system this morning, but as their attorney states, "everything is a longshot" at this point.

I do ask that we all pray today for Terri, for Michael, and for our country. A week before the crucifixion of Christ, we have another murder of an innocent woman, her only crime is being unable to speak. Consider fasting with Terri in some small way, perhaps give up your favorite foods or eat less than you would prefer. And pray; all things are possible with God.

God bless,
Jay

UPDATE AT 1:22 PM EST: A Judge has delayed the removal of Terri's food and water. The US Congress subpoenaed Terri in order to give them time to act and this requires that she be protected at least until next Friday.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
