To all the women and children of Juarez...to all the women and children throughout the world, and the men and boys who respect them, and to all the others who don't, my prayers are with you always. I believe our Blessed Mother looks with care and concern upon your plight and she will comfort you in your distress. This can be seen in the prayer flags. Life is eternal.

Brave activist mother who lost her daughter in drugs war is gunned down while demanding justice

A mother who waged a two-year battle to bring her daughter's killer to justice was shot to death on December 18, possibly by the same man suspected of murdering her teenager. A security video recording shows masked men pulling up in a car in front of the governor's office in the northern city of Chihuahua. One appeared to exchange words with anti-crime crusader Marisela Escobedo Ortiz, who was holding a vigil outside. She tried to flee by running across the street, but the gunman chased her down and shot her in the head late Thursday, said Jorge Gonzalez, special state prosecutor for crime prevention. Ms Escobedo's daughter, Rubi Frayre Escobedo, disappeared in Ciudad Juarez, across from El Paso, Texas, in 2008. After the body was discovered last year, the mother launched a campaign pressing for a conviction in the case. 'This struggle is not only for my daughter,' Ms Escobedo said through a megaphone at that march, her voice breaking. 'Let's not allow one more young woman to be killed in this city.' Three judges had ordered the release of the main suspect in the daughter's killing after he was absolved by a court in April for lack of evidence. That man is now a chief suspect in the mother's death. The video can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9P1gNCAZNw&feature=player_embedded#!

About the Flag

This flag, which was sewn with prayers, is a recognition of support from the Holy Mother, but on the same note should not be treated in violation of the commandment of 'thou shalt not make a graven image'. It is her request that the flag not be a form of idolatry but simply a memo to awake people to the importance of the message below. December 8 was the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

This blog has had someone posting a link to a porno site. We have removed it more than once, but it gets re-posted. We apologize for anyone who sees this before we have a chance to remove it. I guess this is the price of doing this kind of blog.
