Como muchos de ustedes, estoy seguro, yo he mirado, con interés, los acontecimientos que ocurrieron la semana pasada. Nuestro país ha atestiguado un acontecimiento enormemente histórico con la inauguración de presidente Barack Obama – un acontecimiento que habla de los enormes pasos que nuestro país ha hecho, incluso en mi curso de la vida, en términos de igualdad racial. Aunque se ha convertido en un cliché excesivo en las semanas recientes, habían épocas en que nadie en mi generación habría podido soñar que “veríamos este día.”

Reflections on inauguration and theme of hope
Dear Friends,
Like many of you, I’m certain, I’ve watched, with interest, the events which occurred just over one week ago. Our country has witnessed a tremendously historic event with the inauguration of President Barack Obama — an event which speaks to the tremendous strides our country has made, even in my lifetime, in terms of racial equality. Though it has become cliché to say over recent weeks, there were times when no one in my generation could have dreamed that we would “see the day.”
Write to oppose abortions at Madison Surgery Center

Stories that must be told
It was Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2008, a day that would change the lives of so many people, in so many ways. As a principal at a Catholic elementary school, I often find myself at work long after the students have gone home. It’s not unusual.
Help stop UW Hospital late-term abortions
To the editor:
The UW Hospital and Clinics and its associates are working on a plan to offer late-term abortions at the Madison Surgery Center, an outpatient treatment center. In one room, people will be healed while in another late-term babies will be dismembered. All patients will contribute to the abortion services as their payments will be co-mingled.
Families must serve others
To know, love, and serve him in this life and to be happy with him forever in the next is why God made us. Family provides the environment in which knowing, loving, and serving God is made real.
As a matter of fact, the root meaning of the word family is servant. It is in the family where we are to learn how to be a servant. Our success has a direct relationship to finding meaning and purpose in life, to finding peace and happiness.
