Memorializing our Patriotism

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

This is truly BEAUTIFUL!!!! It not only brought shivers but also
tear-filled eyes.

If you missed hearing the US Army Band and Chorus welcome Pope Benedict
XVI at the White House Rose Garden ceremony on 15 April, get a load of
these high school kids.

Memorable friends and Memorial Day flowers

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Pretty flowers are needed. See final paragraph for details . . .

Great friends are hard to find. The Institute is fortunate to have a few very great friends. Here is one of them:

Bill on BreakBill Baermann. Bill has been a stalwart defender of Christian orthodoxy for decades, and is now sacrificing time, talent and treasure to help the Institute come up to speed on all eight cylinders.

Bill not only scrapes paint, he applies paint, mounts locks, hangs curtains and performs many other useful services — all while discoursing on theology, psychology and good old fashion common sense, Hoosier-style!

We are pleased to announce that Bill is now on the Institute’s governing Board! Welcome Christian soldier Bill (and thanks to his Christian soldier wife, Kelly).

Bill at Work

And now a call for flowers. Note the missing bushes in front of the former clinic. We are inviting any and all who ever stood and prayed for the lives snuffed out at 827 Webster Street to come plant some flowers in this site this Memorial Day Weekend.

Some were arrested on this very plot of ground almost 20 years ago. You will not be arrested for planting flowers there now.

We have a work morning planned starting at 7:30 am., Saturday, May 24. If you come by to plant flowers and we are already gone then just plant them — no further authorization is necessary!!!


One year ago today …

Our May 19 ceremony cleansing and dedicating 827 Webster Street was planned and executed in a hurry. 

We apologize to all who missed it for that reason.

This was the result of the initial announcement . . .

PASTOR WENDELL BRANE’S DEDICATION MESSAGE

The Institute thanks our Risen Lord for the year that has followed this historic event last May 19.

An invitation to network …. and work work

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Come to the Institute Saturday morning (anytime after 7:30 a.m.) to visit with a few good people and work on a few challenging projects and see the progress being made.

Wise words to live by ….

Monday, May 12th, 2008

In his recent visit to the United States, the head of the Roman Catholic faithful directed all Christians to live the Life boldly, twenty-four seven.

Such is the constant message of Benedict XVI. 

Here is but one example:

“The very possibility of divine Revelation, and therefore of Christian Faith, is often placed into question by cultural trends widely present in academia, the mass media, and public debate.  For these reasons, a faithful witness to the Gospel is as urgent as ever.  Christians are challenged to give a clear account of the hope that they hold.”

This great man is, of course, borrowing from St. Peter: 

 I Peter 3: 15 – 16

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.

Modernity urges us to check our religion at the door.  To be politically correct is to be thoroughly secularized.

Fight the Power!!!

Just say no to apostasy.

Saturday, May 10 in the Raphael Division

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

If you are interested in learning more about post abortion healing and the plans underway at the ArchAngel Institute to address this very significant topic then plan to come to the Institute at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, May 10 for a meeting.

Women will be leading and speaking at this meeting, we have a subsequent meeting scheduled for men to discuss programs for men. Men supporting the women’s counseling program are invited to sit in on this meeting. All who are sincerely interested are invited to attend to learn more about the Institute’s plans.

The agenda will include a report on Rachael’s Vineyard and a discussion of how to best preserve the Raphael’s Room in the former clinic.

Coffee and rolls will be served.

PSALM 146King James Bible


1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

May is the month of Rachael Weeping

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

May is also the month that the Institute’s ArchAngel Raphael Division is being blessed in an exciting way.  More details will be made available when the time is right, but for now please pray for TJB and the plans to offer 827 Webster Street as a place of reflection and healing. 

Monitor 800.399.4620 for other prayer intentions of the ArchAngel Institute. 

Are you weeping as a result of an abortion?
