       always objectively, mortal sin.
150. From the practice of illicit birth control, the next thing that happens
       is abortion.
151. And so women have an abortion, and they regret it later, very, very much.

172. Children are eager to learn.

       loving Father, a forgiving Father, a merciful Father.
175. Parents should give of themselves 100%, to work together for the sake of
       the children.

179. The GOD given gift of sex, is for husbands and wives to bring children
       into the world.
180. Kids running around. Where do they get their energy? They would wear an

       they are well settled in the world.

       'Crossing the Threshold of Hope'? It is because he inspires hope.
191. The Holy Father knows what it is to suffer. He suffered under communism.
192. He (the pope) certainly took up his cross and followed the Lord, and we
       all have to do the same.
193. People from the young to the age of thirty, have not been taught the faith
       correctly.
194. There has to be that change of heart, the change of attitude, the change
       of behavior, and we will not see that until we ask for the outpouring of
       The Holy Spirit.
195. That is what is needed today, the outpouring of The Holy Spirit.
