In Mossyrock, A “Hill of Crosses”

Establish at the “Cross of Christ,” the “Shrine of Divine Mercy,” “Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel” in Mossyrock, a “Hill of Crosses” similar to the one at Siauliai, Lithuania. Select another hill nearby the "Cross of Christ" and place 12 modestly large crosses on it, arranged around a central shrine niche holding a statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe and an icon of Saint Michael the Archangel. This special hill area need then be dedicated as a “memorial shrine” to the lives of those babies of the Pacific Northwest, Washington, Oregon, and western Idaho, who have been lost through abortion, and in grave recognition of the national holocaust of 40,000,000+ babies lives, destroyed in the United States. Then, as with the “Hill of Crosses” in Lithuania, invite all persons wanting to do so, to bring a cross and place it in this memorial site.

This memorial should also be dedicated to those babies lost who would have been the Region’s religious, the priests, sisters, brothers, deacons, bishops, who are so gravely and greatly missed in this day of need for Church vocations. These souls of our young martyred should be consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and entrusted to the heavenly care of Our Lady of Guadalupe (of the Hill of Tepeyac), Intercessor of the Unborn, and of Saint Michael the Archangel (of San Bernabe, Capula).

The Mossyrock “Hill of Crosses” will become a destination point for thousands of persons per year who come to visit and give honor to these our martyred, and who come to place their cross in this special area of rememberance. It will become that place for remembrance of these tiny babies who are now, along with our Saints, in God’s Paradise gazing lovingly upon the Face of The Lord Our God. These babies who were sacrificed on “the altar to freedom of personal choice” will become the catalyst that brings forth the future Catholic-Christian Pacific Northwest, a Land guided through a divinely moral people.

An invasion of the heart.
The most profound and intimate means to change.

Pope John Paul II tells us that all Christians are invited to become part of the great pilgrimage that Christ, the Church and mankind have made and must continue to make in history. The Church teaches us that through shrines, the means of salvation are provided more abundantly to the faithful.

A statement of tribute

From: The Tacoma News Tribune, Saturday, November 7, 1981.

The Rev Edward F. Mc Callion Tacoma, Washington

“Father Mc Callion maintains that one of the greatest errors being made by mankind is in the mindless pursuit of freedom. Many sins are being committed in the name of freedom by seeking license to disregard the laws of God.

Chief among these, he said, is abortion.

“In all my years in the priesthood, I have never known of anyone who has permitted an abortion to live a happy life. This is one sin they must always pay for and always because they ignore what should be the key to happiness – a willingness to accept and cherish the discipline of divine law.”
In the eyes of God, one may be absolved of the sin of abortion through the Catholic Rite of Reconciliation, but even when receiving absolution, one can never escape the consequences of that sin. The life of a baby has been snuffed out by the willing choice of that person, and the memory of the baby and of the act itself remains for a lifetime. The only solitude is to surrender oneself to God, to His Will, and to His divine law.
