Former acting Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner Mark Morgan on Congress needing to be “floor whipping operation ” over the weekend for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas impeachment vote. Morgan says, “It shouldn't, we've had three years of Secretary Mayorkas, who has abdicated his oath, abused his authority, lied to the American people and Congress under oath. He has violated the law, he's refused to enforce the law, and he's rewritten the law to his definition of what it should be circumventing Congress. He's been the architect of the worst border security crisis in our lifetime. That's jeopardize every aspect of our nation safety and national security. And [House Homeland Security] Chairman Mark Green, didn't do what the Democrats did on one phone call and go right to impeachment. He conducted several months of hearings, produced countless witnesses in over 400 pages of testimony clearly outlined the dereliction of duty of Secretary Mayorkas and why he should be impeached. I agree with you. This should have been an easy yes vote in the House, Senate. Hopefully it's gonna happen next week.” Additional interviews with: Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America Erich Pratt on ATF background check and recent whistleblowers, Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper on his letter with 11 other GOP State AC's to the sixth large banks over their net-zero banking alliance, farmland and how agriculture costs and producers have been impacted by electric mandates, and VP of National Taxpayers Union Brandon Arnold on the recent tax bill that is headed for the Senate.

In this week's episode of the Five Minute Advocate Eva Cox stresses the need for a "yes" vote in the referendum to recognize the original inhabitants of Australia in the Constitution.  An argument is made that this change is needed in order to address historical injustices and ultimately create a fairer democracy in Australia. The Liberal party and in particular Peter Dutton are called out by Eva for undermining the power of a Yes vote and its ability to rectify past inequities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Orland Park Asst Village Manager analyzes misguided referendum to eliminate Managerial form of government Video of former Orland Park assistant village manager discusses the referendum to eliminate the village managerial form of government proposed by controversial Mayor Keith Pekau. In a political move, Pekau introduced an ordinance to replace the managerial form of government at a meeting on Monday Feb. 20, 43 days before the citizens could vote on the referendum. The ordinance outlines his plans to take control by appointing a village manager he controls directly By Ray Hanania Karie Friling the former Director of Development Services and former Asst. Village Manager for Orland Park, Illinois, discusses with host Ray Hanania, the proposed referendum introduced and pushed by Mayor keith Pekau to eliminate the professional Village Manager and Managerial Form of Government. If passed, the referendum on April 4, 2023 would open the way for Pekau to become a full time mayor with a larger salary. Friling discusses some of the concerns residents have about changing the system which has been in place since 1983 and helped guide Orland Park through its greatest expansion led by previous mayors. For more information on the Village Managerial Form of Government Referendum visit www.VoteYesOrland.com Former government officials have lined up against eliminating the Managerial Form of Government in a referendum that is constructed to mislead voters on April 4, 2023. The referendum question is ““Shall the Village of Orland Park retain the managerial form of government?” A No Vote eliminates the Village Manager position defined by the State of Illinois and replaces it with a village manager who answers directly to Mayor Pekau who has consolidated accountability to expand his power and control over every facet of village policies and decision making. A Yes Vote, which is encouraged by professionals who have dedicated their lives to protect Orland Park, would reject the referendum. The wording by Pekau was intended to confuse voters. You can watch the video of the interview I did with Karie Friling on Youtube by clicking this link or by using the the widget below to watch it on this award winning website. Pekau has repeatedly refused to be interview by this columnist and has slandered and attacked me by calling me names, rather than to be accountable and address the issues.

Prop. 31 asks California voters whether we should ban Flavored Tobacco. But we are not voting up or down on this issue. Instead, we are voting on a 2020 Referendum that bans some FLAVORED TOBACCO products. Here is what your Yes or No vote means. A Yes Vote means you support that law. Yes means you DO NOT want flavored tobacco sold in California. NO means you don't like the law. Vote No if you want to be able to buy flavored tobacco cigarettes or other flavored tobacco products.

With Gillian Martin MSP and AIM activists Fatima Joji and Theo Forbes. Drew sits down with Aberdeen Independence Movement organisers Fatima Joji, Theo Forbes and North East MSP Gillian Martin in this Yes Places series episode of Scotland's Choice. The guests share their views on the opportunities ahead for Scotland as an independent nation, and we hear more about their thoughts on the work ahead of us to pave the way for a future Yes Vote. Theo, Fatima, and other grassroots activists set up the Aberdeen Independence Movement (AIM) to do just this. It is great to hear them talk passionately about how the local independence movement works together to help shape the debate and encourage positive change campaigning. While Gillian offers some fantastic insights into how the work of the Scottish Parliament is shaping the views of the independence debate on the world stage. Naturally, with both Gillian and Fatima's extensive work on women for independence, Drew discusses with them the impacts of policies like Scotland's world-leading legislation to tackle period poverty and the effects of Westminster policies on women and the independence movement. In this Yes Places episode, Gillian, Theo and Fatima all touch on the unique challenges people living in the North-East face, including the opportunities that lie ahead for the region, the difficulties the area faces and what this means for support for independence. Theo and Fatima also get us all caught up on the forthcoming Aberdeen Independence Movement (AIM) conference, which seems like an event not to be missed. We hope it is the first of many independence movement events to come. Theo is founding member of the Aberdeen Independence Movement (AIM) which you can find more on here. Fatima is the Co-Chair of AIM and is a Director of @5050parliament. Follow AIM on Twitter here. Gillian Martin has been the MSP for Aberdeenshire East since 2016 and is Convenor of Health, Social Care and Sport Committee in Scottish Parliament. You can find more about Gillian's work on her website here and follow her on Twitter here.

IATSE voted 99% YES to authorize a strike. And because union negotiations can be reduced to just that... “negotiations,” it was important to us on the show to put the focus on exactly what we are actually talking about here: Human beings' well-being on set and in life. So, on this episode of Brian Breaks Character, my guest is IATSE crew member Heather Fink. She works as a Boom Operator and Sound Utility and she joined me not as a formal representative of IATSE, but as a human being in the industry. In this intimate conversation, Heather openly shares her real-life experience as a “below the line” creative as we stare down this strike. IATSE is asking for better pay for streaming service work; higher wages for coordinators and assistants on all productions; longer rest periods between shifts and on weekends; and strengthened requirements for meal breaks during marathon shoots. So to be clear, it's not about pointing at “one bad person” it's about revolutionizing an industry that can too often make *the bottom line* more important than human experience.WHICH IS LITERALLY INSANE SINCE FILM AND TV-MAKING IS STORYTELLING … and storytelling EXISTS to connect us as humans. In this episode, I put on my novice hat so I could ask Heather ALLLL the questions you might need to know about WHY this is so important and you'll learn precisely WHY as a fellow creative you'll want to take a stand with IATSE.This episode is dedicated to all the members of IATSE. We stand with humanizing this business. We stand with IATSE.  TAKEAWAYS IATSE crew is the engine that runs everything on a Film/TV set How the @ia_stories Instagram Account ​​helped Heather to take a pause and realize that after 11 years of working on film crews that it's not normal nor is it OK the conditions that IATSE crew members have been working under.  IATSE has not had a strike since WWII, so over time members have lost things from their contract every time it's been negotiated. The YES vote does not mean there will be a strike, it means that IATSE has authorized a strike and can go back to negotiations with AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers) with the hopes that will be enough.

完整文稿欢迎关注今日微信“英语环球 NEWSPlus” We meet in a week that could change the United Kingdom forever.Indeed, it could end the United Kingdom as we know it. On Thursday, Scotland votes, and the future of our country is at stake. On Friday, people could be living in a different country, with a different place in the world and a different future ahead of it. This is a decision that could break up our family of nations, and rip Scotland from the rest of the UK. And we must be very clear. There's no going back from this. No re-run. This is a once-and-for-all decision. If Scotland votes yes, the UK will split, and we will go our separate ways forever. When people vote on Thursday they are not just voting for themselves, but for their children and grandchildren and the generations beyond. So I want to speak directly to the people of this country today about what is at stake. I speak for millions of people across England, Wales and Northern Ireland – and many in Scotland, too who would be utterly heart-broken by the break-up of the United Kingdom. Utterly heart-broken to wake up on Friday morning to the end of the country we love, to know that Scots would no longer join with the English, Welsh and Northern Irish in our Army, Navy and Air Force, in our UK-wide celebrations and commemorations, in UK sporting teams from the Olympics to the British Lions. The United Kingdom would be no more. No UK pensions, no UK passports, no UK pound. The greatest example of democracy the world has ever known, of openness, of people of different nationalities and faiths coming together as one, would be no more. It would be the end of a country that launched the Enlightenment, that abolished slavery, that drove the industrial revolution, that defeated fascism. the end of a country that people around the world respect and admire the end of a country that all of us call home. And we built this home together. It's only become Great Britain because of the greatness of Scotland. Because of the thinkers, writers, artists, leaders, soldiers, inventors who have made this country what it is. It's Alexander Fleming and David Hume; J.K. Rowling and Andy Murray and all the millions of people who have played their part in this extraordinary success story, the Scots who led the charge on pensions and the NHS and on social justice. We did all this together. For the people of Scotland to walk away now would be like painstakingly building a home – and then walking out the door and throwing away the keys. So I would say to everyone voting on Thursday, please remember. This isn't just any old country. This is the United Kingdom. This is our country. And you know what makes us truly great? It's not our economic might or military prowess – it's our values. British values. Fairness. Freedom. Justice. The values that say wherever you are, whoever you are, your life has dignity and worth. The values that say we don't walk on by when people are sick, that we don't ask for your credit card in the hospital, that we don't turn our backs when you get old and frail. That we don't turn a blind eye or a cold heart to people around the world who are desperate and crying out for help. This is what Britain means. This is what makes us the greatest country on earth. And it's why millions of us could not bear to see that country ending – for good, for ever – on Friday. Now I know that there are many people across Scotland who are planning to vote Yes. I understand why this might sound appealing. It's the promise of something different. I also know that the people who are running the Yes campaign are painting a picture of a Scotland that is better in every way, and they can be good at painting that picture. But when something looks too good to be true – that's usually because it is. And it is my duty to be clear about the likely consequences of a Yes Vote. Independence would not be a trial separation, it would be a painful divorce. And as Prime Minister I have to tell you what that would mean. It would mean the armed forces we have built up together over centuries being split up forever. It would mean our pension funds sliced up – at some cost. It would mean the borders we have would become international and may no longer be so easily crossed. It would mean the automatic support that you currently get from British embassies when you're travelling around the world would come to an end. It would mean over half of Scottish mortgages suddenly, from one day to the next, being provided by banks in a foreign country. It would mean that interest rates in Scotland are no longer set by the Bank of England – with the stability and security that promises. It would mean - for any banks that remain in Scotland – if they ever got in trouble it would be Scottish taxpayers and Scottish taxpayers alone that would bear the costs. It would mean that we no longer pool resources across the whole of the UK to pay for institutions like the NHS or our welfare system. This is not guesswork. There are no question marks, no maybe this or maybe that. The Nationalists want to break up UK funding on pensions, the UK funding of healthcare, the UK funding and comprehensive protection on national security. These are the facts... Don't lose faith in what this country is – and what we can be. Don't forget what a great United Kingdom you are part of. Don't turn your backs on what is the best family of nations in the world and the best hope for your family in this world. So please, from all of us: Vote to stick together, vote to stay, vote to save our United Kingdom.

Summary of today's show: The final language for the physician-assisted suicide ballot question facing voters in Massachusetts this November has been issued by the Secretary of State's office and Janet Benestad returns to update Scot Landry and Fr. Mark O'Connell on what it says, what's been happening in the educational initiative and to hear from Sarah Barry, a recent high school graduate working in Janet's office this summer, who recently wrote about her experiences working in a nursing home and how that relates to this issue. Listen to the show: Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Fr. Mark O'Connell Today's guest(s): Janet Benestad and Sarah Barry Links from today's show: Today's topics: Physician-Assisted Suicide 1st segment: Scot Landry asked Fr. Mark O'Connell back to the show after a couple of weeks away. Fr. Mark has spent his vacation working on some publications. Scot said after today we'll be on vacation for a couple of weeks, so for the next two weeks we'll have some pre-taped shows and some of our best previous shows. Scot said today we'll talk about recent developments in the assisted suicide ballot initiative in Massachusetts. Fr. Mark said we have a lot of work to do before the ballot because there's still a lot of ignorance on it. Today's guest is Janet Benestad, Secretary for Faith Formation and Evangelization and chairperson of the Cardinal's education initiative committee for this issue. Also joining us is Sarah Barry, who is interning in Janet's office this summer, who will be attending college in the fall. As a senior at Montrose School, she we wrote a paper on physician-assisted suicide based on her experiences working at a nursing home. Scot asked Sarah what she thinks young people especially should know about this issue. She said they should know they have the power to effect change. They should remember this affects young people, not just the elderly, not just in the future, but now as well. Sarah said it harms the understanding of human dignity and devalues life. Scot said we wouldn't be talking about assisted suicide if we didn't have Roe v. Wade and aborted 50 million people in America since the early 1970s. Janet said there's no doubt it has devalued human life. She also said that the age limit for assisted suicide under this initiative is 18. They can request assisted suicide without notifying anyone in their family. When the state puts the wooer over life and death in the hands of a private individual or institution, then we've really devalued life. Forty years ago, this would have been unimaginable. Scot said Massachusetts was targeted for this initiative in a presidential election year because it's seen that if it passes here it will pass everywhere. Janet noted that by 2030, 60% of the population will be between 66 and 84 and this will affect the broad swath of people. Fr. Mark commented on Janet saying the power is in the hand of the physician. Janet said the emphasis is on the voluntary aspect of the assisted suicide where the doctor is seen to be acting only on the request of the patient. But the New England Journal Of Medicine, which has been in favor of the ballot question, are now saying that physicians need to extricate themselves from this. Major groupings of doctors are opposed to assisted suicide and being involved in the prescription of lethal medication. The Supreme Court has said the public welfare requires the preservation of life. When the law says this is part of normal medical care at the end of life, the physician is putting into the hands of the patient the opportunity to end his life. The doctor is participating in the killing of the person. Now, the law isn't administering the drug, but he is giving the lethal weapon to the patient. Fr. Mark said when the patient is unable to administer it himself, then it means that anyone like a caregiver or anyone can give it. There's no requirement to have family present or notified. Janet said there are none of the important safeguards. There is no requirement for a psychiatric examination. Scot said in theory the bill purports to allow someone with a terminal diagnosis to ask for a prescription to end your life. Scot said even people with treatable diseases get depressed, never mind those with terminal illnesses as they consider the pain, the struggle, being a burden on others and more. Even a terminal diagnosis may not truly be terminal with treatment. Janet noted that in the Netherlands under the law with a lot of supposed safeguards it devolved into easy assisted suicide and even euthanasia (killing without the patient asking). Scot said the main argument of the proponents is that people suffer needlessly at the end of life and too many people turn to “violent means” to end their lives. Janet said in Oregon where this is legal, pain is only the sixth most frequent reason people choose suicide. Loss of autonomy is listed as the number one. Janet said women tend to be more opposed than men, probably because of the fear of the loss of control. Scot said pain can be treated with a lot of advances in palliative care. The arguments of the proponents is if we have fears about the end of life, then this is a blanket solution. Scot said the main proponent in Massachusetts of assisted suicide tells the story of her father committing suicide by gun and that people should have the option of suicide of medication as a better option. Why should suicide be a better option in any situation? Fr. Mark asked Sarah about the use of compassion to mean helping someone die. She said it's the opposite of true compassion. They might be trying to do the right thing for the elderly and infirm, but it doesn't respect the human person. Fr. Mark said real compassion is showing someone true love through palliative care. Scot said at the beginning and end of life we go through a phase of having to be cared for. That changes not just the person being cared for, but also the person who cares for the other. Why should we deny others that opportunity. Scot asked Janet about the prescription used in Oregon. She said in Oregon the patient gets 100 capsules, which they take home and empty into a drink and then they have to get most of that medication down. If you don't you won't slip into unconsciousness in about 5 minutes and die in a couple of hours. It has happened that it took four days for the person to die. If you don't get enough down, you can vomit and choke to death on it. This ballot initiative talks about death with dignity, but this is neither dignified nor compassionate. Anybody can help there sick person with this difficult process. Scot said the pills themselves are very big and there's a lot of them. This isn't just a little pill that puts you out. Janet said 9 of the 71 who received prescriptions in the most recent year came back later to ask for a new prescription years later. This means (1) the diagnosis was wrong and (2) something deterred them from doing it the first time. There's no guarantee in this law that the doctor will know you well enough or take the time consider whether you know what you're doing. She said it's also been shown when depression is treated, then the desire for suicide goes away. Scot said in the Netherlands, a much higher percentage of elderly people don't trust their doctors anymore. They're afraid of being pressured by their doctors to end their lives. So they avoid going to the doctor to be treated for normal medical care. 2nd segment: Scot said we're going to look at the ballot initiative language and he's going to encourage all his friends to vote No on Question 2. This is the summary voters will see on the ballot: This proposed law would allow a physician licensed in Massachusetts to prescribe medication, at a terminally ill patient's request, to end that patient's life. To qualify, a patient would have to be an adult resident who (1) is medically determined to be mentally capable of making and communicating health care decisions; (2) has been diagnosed by attending and consulting physicians as having an incurable, irreversible disease that will, within reasonable medical judgment, cause death within six months; and (3) voluntarily expresses a wish to die and has made an informed decision. The proposed law states that the patient would ingest the medicine in order to cause death in a humane and dignified manner. Scot noted that nothing in this uses the language of suicide which is disappointing. Janet said mentally capable means two physicians have to certify the person as mentally capable, but a psychological exam is not required. We also think of a longtime physician relationship, but you can go to any doctor and in Oregon people have doctor-shopped for one who will prescribe for them. Fr. Mark said seeing the bottle makes it particularly horrifying but even one pill would be horrible. Scot noted that an 18-year-old in the state can't drink, but they can ask for a lethal prescription. The proposed law would require the patient, directly or through a person familiar with the patient's manner of communicating, to orally communicate to a physician on two occasions, 15 days apart, the patient's request for the medication. At the time of the second request, the physician would have to offer the patient an opportunity to rescind the request. The patient would also have to sign a standard form, in the presence of two witnesses, one of whom is not a relative, a beneficiary of the patient's estate, or an owner, operator, or employee of a health care facility where the patient receives treatment or lives. Scot said first, they have to orally or verbally communicate to a physician on two occasions. Janet said if you can't write or speak, the request can be made through someone who says they're familiar with their way of communicating. Someone can say, I think Grandma wants this, and that would be good enough. It doesn't even have to be videotaped to provide proof. Janet said there is no requirement that anybody has to be present and if there is a suspicion of foul play, this may not be investigated and the death certificate will say the person died of the underlying disease, not assisted suicide. Also as to the witnesses, while it says one of the witnesses cannot be a relative who stands to inherit, the other can be. And the second can be the heir's best friend. Scot said there's no safeguard to ensure the witnesses are truly objective. Is this the sort of society we want? Janet said even those in favor of assisted suicide should be wary of this bill because of how poor the safeguards are. The proposed law would require the attending physician to: (1) determine if the patient is qualified; (2) inform the patient of his or her medical diagnosis and prognosis, the potential risks and probable result of ingesting the medication, and the feasible alternatives, including comfort care, hospice care and pain control; (3) refer the patient to a consulting physician for a diagnosis and prognosis regarding the patient's disease, and confirmation in writing that the patient is capable, acting voluntarily, and making an informed decision; (4) refer the patient for psychiatric or psychological consultation if the physician believes the patient may have a disorder causing impaired judgment; (5) recommend that the patient notify next of kin of the patient's intention; (6) recommend that the patient have another person present when the patient ingests the medicine and to not take it in a public place; (7) inform the patient that he or she may rescind the request at any time; (8) write the prescription when the requirements of the law are met, including verifying that the patient is making an informed decision; and (9) arrange for the medicine to be dispensed directly to the patient, or the patient's agent, but not by mail or courier. Scot said the key verbs are “inform” and “recommend” but there's no documentation. While it says the medication must not be mailed, note that there is no followup. Janet noted that the prescription can be sent by mail or email, meaning a third person could fill it and take it. She said there's lot of recommendations and few requirements for a law that can end a life. The proposed law would make it punishable by imprisonment and/or fines, for anyone to (1) coerce a patient to request medication, (2) forge a request, or (3) conceal a rescission of a request. The proposed law would not authorize ending a patient's life by lethal injection, active euthanasia, or mercy killing. The death certificate would list the underlying terminal disease as the cause of death. Scot said they're trying to say that this isn't euthanasia, making it more palatable. Euthanasia is either refusing to give a treatment or actively killing. Janet said the physician is indeed creating the conditions under which the person can end their life. Scot said it puts a face on assisted suicide that this isn't ending life, but only making someone comfortable on their way. It's aim is the make it less objectionable. Janet said we're giving a happy face to something we would never approve under any normal conditions. Janet noted the case of the Lockerbie bomber who was released from prison because he was supposedly dying, but he lived in Libya for three more years. She said there are many, many documented cases of people given terminal diagnoses and go on to live many years more. Participation under the proposed law would be voluntary. An unwilling health care provider could prohibit or sanction another health care provider for participating while on the premises of, or while acting as an employee of or contractor for, the unwilling provider. So a Catholic physician or Catholic hospital wouldn't have to do this and could prevent someone from coming on the premises to do it. But of course, you only have to recall the Health and Human Services mandate to see how someone's ideology can be forced on someone else. Janet said in Oregon one woman was told that her insurance wouldn't cover cancer treatment, but would cover assisted suicide. The proposed law states that no person would be civilly or criminally liable or subject to professional discipline for actions that comply with the law, including actions taken in good faith that substantially comply. It also states that it should not be interpreted to lower the applicable standard of care for any health care provider. Scot said the loaded word is “substantially comply”. Janet said the liability language is meant to protect physicians who are afraid of being prosecuted. But there's a lot of wiggle room. Janet said this law is going to define comfort care as giving lethal medication. How can that not lower the standard of care. Doctors have said this is going to lower standard of care because they will be pressured to go along with this and patients will have more suspicion of them. Scot said when healthcare providers have to look at the balance sheet, where will they be pressured to go: the cheaper route of ending lives or the more expensive route of ongoing care? A person's decision to make or rescind a request could not be restricted by will or contract made on or after January 1, 2013, and could not be considered in issuing, or setting the rates for, insurance policies or annuities. Also, the proposed law would require the attending physician to report each case in which life-ending medication is dispensed to the state Department of Public Health. The Department would provide public access to statistical data compiled from the reports. Scot at least in theory we will be able to determine how many people will be given the medications, but we won't know how many took it because the underlying diasease will be listed as cause of death. It also doesn't provide penalty for not reporting. The proposed law states that if any of its parts was held invalid, the other parts would stay in effect. A YES VOTE would enact the proposed law allowing a physician licensed in Massachusetts to prescribe medication, at the request of a terminally-ill patient meeting certain conditions, to end that person's life. A NO VOTE would make no change in existing laws. Everyone in the studio said they're voting No on 2. Janet said it's important for people to go to the Death with Dignity 2012 website and to see what proponents are saying. We know as Catholics and good citizens that this law is not compassionate or good for Massachusetts. We should put our resources into palliative care and hospice care. As Catholics we don't have to have treatments that are burdensome and we can take medication to ease our pain. Now as we do every week at this time, we will consider the Mass readings for this Sunday, specifically the Gospel reading. Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick. Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. The Jewish feast of Passover was near. When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?” He said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “Two hundred days?' wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little.'” One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?” Jesus said, “Have the people recline.” Now there was a great deal of grass in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted. When they had had their fill, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted.” So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat. When the people saw the sign he had done, they said, “This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world.” Since Jesus knew that they were going to come and carry him off to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain alone. Scot said this is the only miracle story recounted in all four Gospels. He said this miracle precedes the Eucharist. He wondered why Jesus started with the fish and loaves instead of dropping food from heaven. Scot said Jesus wants us to participate in his miracles. Fr. Mark said this is for us as well as we are presented with giving God our little talents against a daunting problem and letting God do the rest. Scot said we want to pray for the success of the No vote on 2. We want to work to stop it. But God will magnify our efforts we put into this. Scot said in the Mass we are called to bring not just our money but everything we are to the offertory to bring the altar. Janet said one pastor tells a story about he Gospel who said a First Communion parent told him that if the little boy can be the means to the miracle and his child is receiving the Eucharist, then he is coming back to the Eucharist and the practice of his faith as well. Scot said at World Youth Day they tell the young people that they aren't the future of the Church but the present of the Church and they can make a difference in the world. Sarah said while 18-year-olds can request suicide, they can also make a difference and prevent assisted suicide by voting against this ballot question. Fr. Mark said to notice the last line that Jesus goes back to the mountain alone to pray and the power of prayer is enormous.
