The Totus2us team's recommendations this week:
RUTH - 22nd January is the anniversary of the Roe v Wade decision in the US & today (Monday 23rd) is the annual March for Life in Washington DC. I'm not there as I'm stuck here in London ...but my thoughts & prayers are with everyone in DC today. Many thanks to all of those who are giving witness to the gift of life. As Bryan Kemper highlighted in interview last week, the 40th year since this case changed the law starts ticking now.
......
Help, Ayuda, Aiuto, Aide ..
Totus2us has come about rather miraculously ....
& to keep going REALLY NEEDS help.
(the podcasts are all free & there's to be no advertising on Totus2us -
we're taking a leaf out of the Vatican website on this one :-)
We have entrusted this to Our Lady, as Totus2us is all hers. <
Offers to help so far have come about in a Providential way
... from people visiting Totus2us, hearing the podcasts or by word of mouth.
If you might be able to help in any way, please do contact Ruth.
Any help you can give to help Totus2us going & growing would be hugely appreciated, eg ..
- 'share' this page with your friends
- give a response to one of Totus2us's podcasts
- ask your parish priest to include info about Totus2us in the parish newsletter
- write a review for 1 of the podcasts on itunes
- mention it to a friend who you think might be able to make a financial contribution or make a little donation yourself (please contact me if you have any bright ideas about any organisations you think might be able to help)
- and, most importantly, keep Totus2us in your prayers.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

8th September 2011 - Happy, Happy Birthday, Mother Mary
& thank you for all you've done for Totus2us :o)
Father Leo: "Our Lady's birthday reminds us that each one of us has been born to love & be loved. That's the reason of our being."
And as Totus2us is 2 today on Our Lady's birthday, there are lorry loads more 'thank yous' to be sent out to all those who've helped Totus2us get to being a toddler.

8th September 2010
was Our Lady's birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAMA MARY
and so it was also Totus2us' 1st birthday
so there was lots of celebrating and thanking done!
RUTH - it's lucky I haven't just won an Oscar because I'd be dragged off the stage before I'd got to the end of my list of thank yous ...but there's no chance of anyone doing that here, so I'm going to make the most of it!
