This is one of the few nice and good things Clinton did while in office. I didn't know till 13 yrs later that he made this proclamation on what would be the last Mother's Day I ever shared with my dear Mother. One week later she went to be with my beloved Father. Our eyes met in an unusually intense and memorable way that day when she left my house with my brother and his wife. That next Friday, we'd have to take her to the hospital with pneumonia from a laryngectomy gone awry. She thankfully didn't suffer the month and a half that my Father did. She was gone that Sunday .. exactly one week after Mother's Day.

If you still have your Mother ...never let a day go by without letting her know that you do appreciate all the love she gave you, all the sacrifices she made for you, all the aggravation she put up with for and because of you. Thank her for the gifts of FAITH and life ... for teaching you all that we should become for each other in Jesus' Name.

If you haven't talked to her in a while for WHATEVER reason ... don't put it off ... RECONCILE ... We are called to honor our parents, are we not? Right and Wrong are PRIDEFUL emotions. Love IS all that matters!

God Bless all Mother's this day and let us not forget our Heavenly Mother who intercedes for us night and day, wanting nothing more than to bring us closer to Jesus so that we might spend eternity together as the Family we were always meant to be!

Proclamation 6999 - Mother's Day, 1997
May 7, 1997

By the President of the United States of America  

A Proclamation

As we prepare to enter the 21st century, in the midst of a rapidly changing world, one thing remains constant—the unconditional love between a mother and her child. This love provides us with a cornerstone and sanctuary throughout our entire lives. Mothers nurture, challenge, and instill strong values in their children, find solutions, arbitrate disputes, organize activities, care and teach, influence and lead, give, share, and encourage. Their abiding moral principles shape our families, our communities, and our national life. Today, mothers face many different challenges—from balancing the responsibilities of home and work, to raising families on their own—while contending with the often daunting challenges of modern society. They do this all while meeting the day-to-day responsibilities of class projects, car payments, and the flu season. And yet, they succeed, determined to protect what is so precious to them and to make brighter futures for themselves, their children, and their Nation. Each year we welcome the opportunity to set aside a day to acknowledge all that our mothers—whether biological, adoptive, or foster—have given us. It is a time to reflect on all we have gained from their guidance, care, and sacrifice and a time to openly express our gratitude and love. The Congress, by a joint resolution approved May 8, 1914 (38 Stat. 770), has designated the second Sunday in May each year as "Mother's Day" and
requested the President to call for its appropriate observance. 


Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of
America, do hereby proclaim May 11, 1997, as Mother's Day. Whether we are
able to share this special day with our mothers or are blessed with memories
of them, in our hearts they are with us always. I urge all Americans to
express their love and respect for their mothers and to observe this day
with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs. 


In Witness Whereof,
I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of May, in the year of our
Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-seven, and of the Independence of the United
States of America the two hundred and twenty-first.
 

WILLIAM J. CLINTON

The Apostle, St. John tells us exactly how to recognize the spirit of truth from the spirit of falsehood. He says "as for them, they are of the world - and the world listens to them because they speak the language of the world. But we are children of God and those who know God: LISTEN TO US. Those who are not of God REFUSE TO LISTEN TO US. That is how we can tell the spirit of truth from the spirit of falsehood." ~1 John 4:6 [The "us" to whom St. John refers are the Apostles, and their successors the Bishops.]

Prayer to avoid the Sin of PRIDE:
“Oh My Jesus help me to avoid the sin of pride when I speak in Your Name. Forgive me if I ever belittle anyone in Your holy Name. Help me to listen Jesus when Your Voice is spoken and fill me with Your Holy Spirit so that I can discern the truth of Your Word when You call out to mankind. Amen.”


A prayer of St. Teresa of Avila:
O my God! Source of all mercy! I acknowledge Your sovereign power. While recalling the wasted years that are past, I believe that You, Lord, can in an instant turn this loss to gain. Miserable as I am, yet I firmly believe that You can do all things. Please restore to me the time lost, giving me Your grace, both now and in the future, that I may appear before You in "wedding garments." Amen.


“My children, let your speech be chosen with great care—it must be a light in the world. Know and believe that all you say has repercussions in time and eternity. Therefore, choose your words with wisdom and prudence, choosing to remain silent rather than fill the air with useless chatter or worse, gossip or virulent speech. Let your speech be a perfect mirror of your peaceful heart, a heart firmly grounded in the love of God and in complete trust in His goodness. Silence is often the more virtuous path. Bridle your tongue and you will be working for peace in the world.”

In the Name of Jesus I renounce as lies all thoughts that enter my mind from the evil one who accuses. By the authority of Jesus, I command them to leave me. I consecrate my mind to God for transformation into His Thoughts for my protection, salvation and His glory.

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

Just a Note:

Through the grace of God and many prayers, I survived a double surgery (with cancer) in the fall of 2008. Since then has becoming increasingly important to me to enhance my prayer life. I have taken on the task of praying for strangers and those with little hope and much adversity. To that end, I've also begun (July '09), to make rosaries and related items to put prayer into the hands of as many as I can that will PRAY for others.

The world is at the precipice ... we need to TAKE ACTION ... NOW. Time for fence sitting is quickly coming to an end. We all need to do what ever we can in the way of PRAYER & PENANCE to beg God's Grace upon humanity that we may shake away this sinfulness and pride to get back on the road that leads to heaven and our Glorious Triune God!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After you have made a decision that is pleasing to God, the devil may try to make you have second thoughts. Intensify your prayer time, meditation, and good deeds. For if satan's temptations merely cause you to increase your efforts to grow in holiness, he'll have an incentive to leave you alone.
~St. Ignatius of Loyola
