Sorry to be away so long

Sorry to be away so long, but I had to think and pray after speaking with some people about the way in which the blog has come together. I decided to wait until I had something to write about. One of the real great things about my current position is the time I can spend with the Medical Students. I am continually impressed with the way they interact with each other and the patients they follow. One of the roles I play is to review their clinical experience. In this Catholic Hospital, there is a letter that went out last January reminding the OB/GYN crowd that they needed to abide by the Catholic Directives. Specifically, they were to refrain from dispensing and discussing contraception with their patients. While looking over the files, I could not help noticing how many encounters involving contraceptive choices they had witnessed. It just shows the steepness of the climb that exists to build a culture of life. One day at a time. Mary, seed of wisdom, pray for us
