these are just a few things that my mother has done and is doing. today though, today she went above and beyond.
So VERY PROUD of my 73 year old mother, Marianne Green, who was arrested today in DC as she quietly protested at Rep. John Boehner's office in support of the H.R.36 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
She and eight other protesters were kneeling in prayer for the unborn when they were arrested. She said they were treated with dignity and kindness by the police officers. Praise God for that.
My mother has lived her faith and love for God every day of her life. I have had a wonderful example of sacrificial love my entire life with this woman.
I have never been prouder of her than I am tonight on this beautiful feast day. Stand for what you believe my friends.
Stand tall and speak with love and grace.
Mama, I am so proud to be your daughter.
You are one badass Catholic.
