‘All lives matter’

In the upcoming November 3 election there is only one thing that really matters and that is the “Right to Life” of all people.

Sure, I agree that “black lives matter,” but “all lives matter”.

If I may quote Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, “however, the right to life position is, in one sense, not about an ‘issue’ at all. Nor are those who hold it ‘single issue voters.'”

Recognizing National Assisted Living Week

Dear Editor:

September 13 to 19 is National Assisted Living Week.

This annual observance was established by The National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) as a way to celebrate those who choose this type of living option and the caring, dedicated staff members who serve them; and to educate the general public about the importance and benefits of this type of long term care.

This year’s theme is “Caring is Essential.”

Many ways to heal after abortion

To the editor:

Thank you for spreading the word abut the Memorial Statue in Resurrection Ceremony.

What a powerful, beautiful way to invite those who have lost unborn children in a variety of tragic manners to privately pray, grieve, and remember their children.

I would also like to salute Mary Mead who has spent several decades being a true ambassador of Christ’s love to these women and men.

Follow healthy practices

To the editor:

As the state opens up, and I look around seeing bigger gatherings, I am tempted to join in. Staying physically apart is difficult even when the science is there to tell me it is important. It’s human nature that I don’t like someone telling me what to do, especially if it’s extra work in a difficult situation.

COVID-19 is much more lethal than influenza; we should choose to protect life and health

To the editor:

A recent letter writer to this newspaper (04/30/20) asked the question, “Do we think that COVID-19 virus is going away soon?” And though I agree with him that it is not, I do disagree with his view that we should have been more concerned about the economy.

Reader says paper’s coverage of the coronavirus included ‘gossip and misinformation’

To the editor:

Gossip and misinformation are not what I expect to see in the Catholic Herald, but its April 30 edition gave us both in its coverage of the coronavirus.

It makes sense to put America back to work

To the editor:

Do we think that COVID-19 virus is going away soon?

How is it that the flu virus shows up every fall throughout the United States and the world?
