Little Sisters of the Poor provide witness of God’s love and ‘keep dignity before us,’ archbishop says
Like fans anticipating the arrival of a celebrity, eight Little Sisters of the Poor eagerly waited outside their home for Archbishop Charles C. Thompson. “There he is! That’s him!” one exclaimed as the archbishop’s black car pulled into the drive of the St. Augustine Home for the Aged in Indianapolis. Before he was out of the car, Mother Francis Gabriel, the order’s superior in Indianapolis, and several of the sisters rushed to greet him. “Immediately after we heard about his being named as archbishop, we looked for an opportunity to welcome him to our home,” said Mother Francis. The day they settled on was Aug. 30, the feast day of St. Jeanne Jugan, foundress of the Little Sisters of the Poor. (Page 1)

Couple’s life becomes touched by love in opening their hearts to adoption
Jenni and Joe Amschler recall the birth of their baby boy with love and awe. “I fell in love with him as soon as he was put on my chest,” says Jenni. “It was an instant bond.” “It was instant” for Joe, too, he says. “I did the first skin-to-skin. I changed the first diaper. I mean, that was our baby.” The fact that the couple’s skin was white and their baby’s was a beautiful brown was of no consequence. (Page 1)

40 Days for Life starts on Sept. 27, more participants needed
40 Days for Life is an international campaign that seeks to end abortion through peaceful prayer vigils at abortion centers, and to raise community awareness of the consequences of abortion. The campaign runs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. During the 40-day campaigns, individuals silently pray during one-hour time slots in front of abortion centers around the world. (Page 3)
