Today, I learned that Hilary White has cancer. I had the privilege of meeting the astute and energetic Miss White in Rome, where she works as a journalist. She is the Rome correspondent for the pioneer in pro-life journalism, the Canadian LifeSiteNews.com. She herself is a Canadian.
I recommend reading her piece Hard Lessons, which concerns her cancer struggle in light of her Catholic pro-life ethic and the cultural predispositions she inherited as a child of the sixties. The piece touches on autonomy and dependence in a poignant way. To get an example of her scrappy pro-life journalism, read From ‘Nice’ Pro-Lifers: Libera Nos, Domine on the Remnant’s web site.
I also recommend Miss White to the prayers of all our readers.
