“We
are facing an enormous and dramatic clash between
good and evil, death and life, the "culture of
death" and the "culture of life". We find
ourselves not only "faced with" but necessarily
"in the midst of" this conflict: we are all
involved and we all share in it, with the
inescapable responsibility of choosing to be
unconditionally pro-life.”

Thought....

ON BEING A 'PROFESSIONAL'
What does it mean to be a medical professional? The word is derived from the Latin professus, meaning "to have publicly declared". A professional is traditionally understood as one who has publicly professed adherence to a code of ethics or values. For physicians, to be a professional was traditionally to be one who has professed the Hippocratic Oath. CLICK for more.

When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they
were all in one place together. And suddenly
there came from the sky a noise like a strong
driving wind, and it filled the entire house in
which they were. Then there appeared to them
tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest
on each one of them. And they were all filled
with the holy Spirit ---Acts 2:1-4
COME,
HOLY SPIRIT!
FILL US!
