This is the Sampul River Massacre, 40th Anniversary.

Last updated on: November 12, 2024 at 8:07 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Sampul River Massacre in El Salvador. The Sampul River Massacre was a mass murder of innocent people by right-wing Salvadoran troops. Six hundred children, housewives, little old ladies and ordinary working men trying to support their families were slaughtered. This occurred about the same time that St Oscar Romero, a Catholic bishop, was shot down by government assassins while he was saying mass. St Oscar Romero was murdered for the same reasons that...

Save Yourself: 12 Breast Cancer Symptoms and Signs.

Last updated on: November 12, 2024 at 8:16 am By Rebecca Hamilton

I was “lucky.” A mammogram caught my cancer long before it was big enough to feel by touch. After the mastectomy, we learned that there was other cancer that didn’t show on the scans, waiting to go off some time in the future. Cancer, even relatively mild cancers, turn deadly when they move out of the box. One in 8 American women will have breast cancer at some point in their lives. I am one of the 8. This video...

Mass is Re-Opening. Approach it with Love for Others and Respect for Life

Last updated on: May 13, 2020 at 3:09 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Which is lawful on the Sabbath; to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? Jesus Christ Catholic Churches here in Oklahoma will be re-opening for mass soon. Meanwhile, at least some bishops around the country are allowing communion-on-the-tongue. I think that most active Catholics are aware that we are not required to attend Sunday mass if we have health reasons to stay home. I’m not a bishop, but I am personally interpreting that to mean...

Pope Francis’ Prayer Intentions for May

Last updated on: November 12, 2024 at 8:26 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Pope Francis’s prayer intention for this month is for deacons. A Catholic deacon is ordained clergy. But they are not priests. They cannot confect the Eucharist or forgive sins. But they can marry, bury, baptize and preach. Deacons marry and have families. Priests don’t. The deacons I know also have real jobs in the real world and must support their families, all while carrying the pastoral load of being a deacon. Deacons do not control or have the final say...

You are Holy

Last updated on: November 12, 2024 at 10:09 am By Rebecca Hamilton

I get so much from Joshua Aaron’s beautiful music. I play it over and over. I sing along with it. I pray with it. Here is one of the truest hymns I know. You are holy. There is No. One. Else. like You. It goes on to say that we will serve you. I hope that is true of me, come what may. Read more

Tara Reade’s Attorney Donated to Trump’s Campaign

Last updated on: November 12, 2024 at 10:45 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Tara Reade, the woman who has accused former Vice President Joe Biden of sexual assault, is being represented by an attorney who is a Trump supporter and donor to Trump’s 2016 campaign. My source for this is the Associated Press, which is a reputable press outlet that adheres to journalistic standards. I emphasize that because there are so many stories being circulated by and for the consumption of the not-too-swift crowd that are total fiction. According to the AP... Read more

Cuomo and the value of human life.

Last updated on: November 12, 2024 at 10:50 am By Rebecca Hamilton

How much is a human life worth? Pro life people have often been accused of believing that life begins at conception and ends at birth. That’s not true. The pro life people I know have fought for the sanctity of human life under the law with heroic persistence. They have endured decades of defeat and kept on believing and working to save lives. They are also some of the most loving, forgiving and generous people it has ever been my privilege... Read more
