Mother Theresa

I was reading Mother Theresa Nobel Prize Speech. And as always I tremble when I read the words about abortion. How true it is. How simple.
If our societies are OK with wiping away lives of unborn children then murder becomes something quite accustomed.
I can compare both Poland and UK. In Poland abortion is a banned by law with three exceptions. In UK is opened to everyone.
In Poland euthanasia is not yet discussed by Parliment, in UK it is.
In Poland there is no Liverpool Care pathway and even with such limited healthcare budget every life is worth a battle.

I now look back when I was holding my gran by her hand as she was dying. The doctors/nurses were amazing. They have done all they could to save her life, to help with the pain.
How would she die in the UK? She was a perfect candidate for the LCP. 85-years old, no more than few days left.
She has peacefully died at home, having her family praying for her.

And her death was the biggest lesson I could ask for. It showed me that every life is sacred.
It tough me that- taking someone's life - even if we think we have good reasons for it is NEVER the answer. Life is not always perfect- but it is always sacred.

Mother Theresa's words:
"And today the greatest means - the greatest destroyer of peace is abortion. And we who are standing here - our parents wanted us. We would not be here if our parents would do that to us. Our children, we want them, we love them, but what of the millions. Many people are very, very concerned with the children in India, with the children in Africa where quite a number die, maybe of malnutrition, of hunger and so on, but millions are dying deliberately by the will of the mother. And this is what is the greatest destroyer of peace today. Because if a mother can kill her own child - what is left for me to kill you and you kill me - there is nothing between."

Still no coffee...

It's hard. It's getting harder each day.
I am now drinking my 7th cup of tea.
I had to stop when I was passing a coffee shop. Just for a second. The smell was just so good.
Too good.

Monday without coffee..

This morning I had 8 extra minutes before my train was due. 8 extra minutes!! And wow that's amazing as I am usually speeding trough tickets barriers to get to my train.

And there I was. Glasgow Queen Station opposite to my coffee- heaven- Sturbacks.

It was so difficult to ask for grande Earl Grey instead of my usual grande-extra-shot-americano-with-space-to-go:)

Someone ask me why do I do it?And sometimes when passing by a good coffee shop that questions pops in my head as well. Why do I do it? Because of the cause.

Because I believe that every life is sacred and that life should be protected.And that is worth my coffee:)

Sunday

What a lovely Sunday:)

I have just checked One of Us website and I have seen that they have collected already over 112000 signatures.
Only 887324 signatures left.
But what does this tell me? It tells me that in our dear Europe there are people who love life. There are people that know that every life and every stage shoudl be protected.

I can only sign that petition once but my duty is to spread the news and to pray.
Let us all pray for the end of the culture of death.

So this week please say one small prayer to ask God for the One of Us Initiative to collect much more than just one million of signatures by the required time.

I'll say one Our Father every day. Could you join me?
