Is Being Pro-Life ‘a Crime’?
Dear Editor: Vote no on this bill (“Pro-Lifers: N.Y. Abortion Bill Could One Day Make Being Pro-Life ‘a Crime,’” The Tablet, Jan. 19). Can’t understand why anyone would even consider a bill like this.
A Heart of Gold
Dear Editor: Sister Miguel was the epitome of an angel on earth (“Sister Mary Miguel Ortiz, R.S.M.,” Obituaries, Jan. 12). She was tough but had a heart of gold.
God’s Earthly Army
Kudos on your excellent defense of the Knights of Columbus (“As The Tablet Sees It,” Jan. 12). The works of charity and mercy, which your article so accurately reports is only the tip of the iceberg of the overwhelming works which are performed every day all over the world.
A Disturbing Proposal
Dear Editor: I have contacted both Republican and Democrat senators and Legislative members about the wording in this bill (“Gov. Cuomo Vows to Pass Abortion Rights Bill,” The Tablet, Jan. 12). I am very disturbed about aborting a full term baby. I have asked for a copy of this bill.
The Immaculate Conception
Dear Editor: The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception celebrates that Mary, “Full of Grace,” through God was redeemed from Original Sin from the moment of her conception.
Remembering Father Zanon
Dear Editor: Father Zanon saved my life (“Father Zanon Served God, Country with Faithful Zeal,” The Tablet, October 2018).
A Victorian Christmas
Dear Editor: I have attended a Epiphany concert at our Lady of the Snows in Floral Park on Sunday January 6th at 3 p.m. I found it to be a most profound experience. It was billed with the title, “A Victorian Christmas.”
A Child Shall Lead Them
Dear Editor: As a child who had recently made my first confession, one Saturday the priest asked me what Christmas present I would want to give to Jesus. When I answered “pants,”this was met with complete silence from the priest’s side of the confessional!
What Would Mary Think?
Dear Editor: In response to Tony Rossi’s column “Growing in Holiness During Advent” (The Tablet, Dec. 1), he states that the Church asks us to look at ourselves in a way that is truthful, honest and can change us for the better.
