door. And I did not see a single one with their smile on their face. And I turned to the Sister and I asked: How is that? How is it that the people they have everything here, why are they all looking towards the door, why are they not smiling? I am so used to see the smile on our people, even the dying one smile, and she said: This is nearly every day, they are expecting, they are hoping that a son or daughter will come to visit them. They are hurt because they are forgotten, and see - this is where love comes. That poverty comes right there in our own home, even neglect to love. Maybe in our own family we have somebody who is feeling lonely, who is feeling sick, who is feeling worried, and these are difficult days for everybody. Are we there, are we there to receive them, is the mother there to receive the child?

�I was surprised in the West to see so many young boys and girls given into drugs, and I tried to find out why - why is it like that, and the answer was: Because there is no one in the family to receive them. Father and mother are so busy they have no time. Young parents are in some institution and the child takes back to the street and gets involved in something. We are talking of peace. These are things that break peace, but I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing - direct murder by the mother herself. And we read in the Scripture, for God says very clearly: Even if a mother could forget her child - I will not forget you - I have carved you in the palm of my hand. We are carved in the palm of His hand, so close to Him that unborn child has been carved in the hand of God. And that is what strikes me most, the beginning of that sentence, that even if a mother could forget something impossible - but even if she could forget - I will not forget you. And today the greatest means - the greatest destroyer of peace is abortion. And we who are standing here - our parents wanted us. We would not be here if our parents would do that to us. Our children, we want them, we love them, but what of the millions.

�Many people are very, very concerned with the children in India, with the children in Africa where quite a number die, maybe of malnutrition, of hunger and so on, but millions are dying deliberately by the will of the mother. And this (abortion) is what is the greatest destroyer of peace today. Because if a mother can kill her own child - what is left for me to kill you and you kill me - there is nothing between.�

On this day when we have heard the news that President Barack Obama has received the Nobel Peace Prize, let us pray that the Lord would open his heart to see the TRUTH - confirmed by medical science, written on every human heart by the Natural Law and, yes, confirmed in the very Christian Revelation which he claims to profess as his own - that the Child in the womb is our neighbor. Sadly, I have concluded that this President who rode into office calling us to �love our neighbor� is a walking contradiction. It simply is always wrong to kill our innocent neighbor. It is not the path to peace.

By failing to hear the cry of all of these children who are being killed daily under the violence unleashed by the public policy of abortion on demand in America, we have, in effect, turned an entire segment of our human family into property to be used, abused or killed at any time, while all the while calling these evil acts of war �choices�, as if true freedom could ever properly choose what is always wrong and always destroys peace.

Mother Teresa is ABSOLUTELY right. The greatest destroyer of Peace is Abortion. The Living God spoke through the great Hebrew Prophet Jeremiah in warning to His people many centuries ago �"Peace, Peace!" they say, though there is no peace.� In this announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize Recipient today, October 9, 2009, I hear the echo of those sobering words. President Obama Receives the Nobel Peace prize while the War on the Womb Continues Unabated.

Matt, Jean is actually the commentor on this who most often urges people to pray and also the least political.

"... but hates Obama merely because he is not anti-abortion." Troy, your statement is most telling. "Merely" is the operative word. Time to rethink your Catholicism. And, like someone else posted - what does Bush have to do with any of this? PS: Has Obama ended the war? Also, Congress & Senate have a lot to say with regard to continuing a war = where are they?

Jean, the parallel with December 7th, 1941 and Pearl Harbor is that we sent Jimmy Doolittle and the B-25's to Bomb Tokyo after Pearl Harbor and eventually made defeating Japan unconditionally the goal, FDR did not send the bombers to Mexico City, or Africa.

The Bush response was to send the massive force of the US Military to . . . IRAQ, which had as much to do with 9-11 as Mexico or anyone in Africa did the Attack on Pearl Harbor. The Republicans still haven't entirely abandoned the attempt to invent one, even now. Thanks for the help, but they really don't need it.

Diane and Jean,

Don't you think you should pray for the president instead of criticizing him and trying to be political. I think we should look at what joins us together instead of what divides us. He said he is going to donate the money to Charity. Why not wait for him to donate the money before attacking him. Lets not be hypocrites. I am catholic but and against abortion, but as Mary says during her apparitions. We should pray for priests, so we should also pray for our leaders.

Seriously, have some of you not read the Bible? Jesus' parable about the house that was built on sand rather than solid foundation - it can't stand! That's why all issues for the Church come back to abortion. Abortion is the sand that our country is built on - if we can't even protect the most helpless of us all, then what else is there? Re-read that parable, re-read Mother Teresa's Nobel acceptance speech - and then maybe, maybe you'll finally get it.

Actually George Bush tried to keep our Conscience Clause in but Obama is attempting to get it out.

I would say George Bush did the right thing.

If you were President during 9/11 and you knew we were under attack which I might add was the 2nd attempt with the towers what would have been your call.

No one sees the parallels of of 9/11 with those of the attack on Pearl Harbor during WWII?

(One ones earlier and the Head Security guy warned us of this but we never did anything to protect the country afterward.)

Anyway Im not arguing with anyone just making an attempt to justify America's actions during the time we were attacked.

Considering my father and great grandfather served during two wars, Ive had an amateur interest in why they happened.

Unfortunately we havent learned very much that I know of when we get attacked.

Personally I think this country reacted better than they did during WWII afterward.

This is just me as an amateur on history.

God Bless.

I want to email Mother Theresa's acceptance speech to Obama and the ones who made the award to Obama.

Every wk Obama attempts to destroy another Judeo-Christian virtue. Sometimes it is a daily chipping away at moral values. Yet he is still campaigning, spending money the U.S. doesn't have, refusing to make major decisions protecting our country, pushing false values, pushing abortion here and across the globe, taking away free speech, freedom of conscience, denying God's commandments, lying, (even to the Pope). We can't think of a less worthy person to receive such an award.

Why couldn't have missionaries in Africa, battling the effects of genocide, homelessness, malnutrition and hordes of dispossessed villagers been recognized? The million dollar award would have gone far to feed the sick, the diseased, the starving. Obama says it will go to charity.... but then , he lies. He'll prob give it to ACORN or the unions or other cohorts he is constantly paying off - Chicago spoils style.

Exactly Troy! I'm tired of our poor leadership in the Catholic Church. Its so depressing. Fr. Corapis talks tell all about our poor leadership.

I have to admit I roll my eyes when I read comments that try to shift the focus to a man who wasn't even mentioned in the article. What does George Bush have to do with that article? Nothing. Nice shift of focus there, but if that is all you have as an argument of defense of Obama's stand on abortion is to stamp your feet and say "George Bush George Bush George Bush" then you really have nothing to say at all.
