VALUING THE LIVES OF OUR BABIES ~ CHILDREN ~ FROM CONCEPTION

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,before you were born I dedicated you. (Jeremiah 1:5a-b)

This is a powerful account of how precious human life is, the life of each baby who is conceivedand how ardently we need to work for the same passion for each child God gives us, as have Mary

and Mark Cisilino, two of our parishioners.Julia was baptized in the hospital on July 22, 1999 by Fr. Tom Cargo who was at St. Marys Par-

ish at the time. From then on it was faith and prayers that got us through the roller coaster ride ofhospitalization. She became weak and ill after birth and her weight dropped below one pound for awhile. They told us she probably would not live. They told us the extremely delicate blood vesselsin her brain could burst at any moment leaving her brain damaged. Her greatest struggle wasbreathing. Her oxygen levels would fall because her lungs could not absorb enough oxygen. So theywould give her more oxygen. The more oxygen they gave her, the more it would damage her lungsthereby decreasing their efficiency to absorb more oxygen. It was the epitome of a vicious cycle.They told us she would most likely have asthma and breathing problems. They told us she probablywould have learning disabilities. At one point they told us she would be completely blind and I will

never forget the day they called and said we better come in right away because she probably was-nt going to make it. In the end she stayed in the hospital for almost four months coming home rightabout the same time as her due date.

When Julia was born at twenty-four weeks, the top of her head to the bottom of her torsowould fit in your hand with just her little legs dangling down. She was perfectly formed and had allher parts like other little babies, just tinier. At birth her eyes were still fused shut but opened aweek or so later and were a beautiful blue. We watched her eye lashes come in and listened to herlittle cries grow stronger. During the last month she was in the hospital she began to noticeably growand put on weight. She was not allowed to leave the hospital until she was five pounds. When she wasfinally sent home she had reached what seemed to us a whopping five and half pounds.

VALORANDO LAS VIDAS DE NUESTROS BEBS ~ NIOS ~ DE CONCEPCIN

Her hospital bed was covered with prayer cards, St. Julia medals, and crayon pictures from her bigbrother and sister. I even smuggled in a very old vial of holy water from Lourdes, which I am sure wasagainst hospital regulations, and blessed her myself. She was the recipient of hundreds of prayers andabundant love. To us she was beautiful and perfect and we could not have loved her more.

Driving back and forth to the hospital for two hours a day for four months gave us a lot of timefor thought and prayer. We usually had talk radio on during the drive and would often hear thenews. At that time, there was coincidentally a news story of a girl who was fighting the courts forthe right to have a late-term abortion at twenty-eight weeks. That was a full month after Juliasgestational age. I would listen to the news story then go into the hospital and hold Julias littlehand and think there is no possible way that girl could know what was inside of her. It was a fullyformed child, a child she would literally have to kill to abort the pregnancy. If the baby was takenout during an abortion, he would most likely live and very likely be healthy. I would pray for Juliaand I would pray for that little baby. I do not know the fate of that baby but I do know Julia isbeautiful and healthy today with extremely little residual damage. I know we made the right deci-sion. We did not know what would happen. We were told to expect the worst and all we knew isthat we trusted God to get us through and if there was something wrong, we would love her just asmuch. - - - - Mary Cisilino - - - parishioner

I remember full well the baptism of little Julia. It is the experience that most impacted my

first two years in the Diocese of Joliet when I was stationed at St. Marys. It impacted me so deeplythat I have preached on it numerous times as to how awestruck I was of the fragileness, beauty andsanctity of life. I remember vividly going to Childrens Hospital. I remember tiny Julia, smallerthan my hand, having a tiny-tiny little white baptism cloth-gown laid over her as with a tiny medi-cine cup of water I poured over her head as I said I baptize you, Julia, in the name of the Fatherand of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. I remember driving home thinking I would hear within a fewdays of her passing and would say some prayers over her and with her loving family. Months wenton and I did not hear and busy work kept me running, until one Sunday morning a beautiful youngmother flanked by her family walked after mass with one of the most beautiful baby girls with bigbeautiful blue eyes in her arms. Somehow the sight was familiar but I was unsure until Mary saidthat this was little Julia who I had baptized not so long ago. It took

my breath away. Julia and her mother and her family took my breathaway. God took my breath away. A bit under 12 years had passedand last summer I arrived at St. Johns as your new pastor. My veryfirst Sunday, from the back of church came a young husband and fa-ther who pulled me toward his dear family and again this family andGod took my breath away. There she was almost 12, growing andbeautiful like her mother and sister and joined with her two broth-ers. All of them are precious, all of them are gifts from God. Allbabies who are conceived should have the same passion rooting forthem to live and to grow in grace as do the Cisilino children fromtheir parents. - - - - Fr. Tom

"Antes que te formase en el vientre te conoc,antes de que nacieras, te consagr." (Jeremas 1:5 a-b)

Esta es la cuenta ms poderosa de cmo la vida humana es preciosa, la vida de cada nio que se concibey el ansia con que tenemos que trabajar para la misma pasin por cada nio Dios nos da, al igual que Mara yCisilino Mark, dos de nuestros feligreses ... .

"Julia fue bautizado en el hospital el 22 de julio de 1999 por el Padre Toms Cargo, que estaba en la Pa-rroquia de Santa Mara en el momento. A partir de entonces fue sobre la fe y las oraciones que nos llevaron a

travs de la montaa rusa de la hospitalizacin. Ella hizo dbil y enfermo despus de su nacimiento y su pesocay por debajo de una libra por un tiempo. Nos dijeron que probablemente no vivira. Nos dijeron que losvasos sanguneos extremadamente delicados en su cerebro puede estallar en cualquier momento dejando asu cerebro daado. Su mayor lucha estaba respirando. Sus niveles de oxgeno caera porque sus pulmones nopueden absorber suficiente oxgeno. As que le dara ms oxgeno. Cuanto ms oxgeno se le dio, ms quepodra daar sus pulmones, disminuyendo as su eficiencia para absorber ms oxgeno. Era el eptome de uncrculo vicioso. Nos dijeron que lo ms probable es que tenga problemas de asma y respiracin. Nos dijeronque probablemente tendran dificultades de aprendizaje. En un momento dado nos dijo que iba a ser com-pletamente ciego y nunca voy a olvidar el da en que llam y me dijo que mejor que venga en seguida por-que probablemente ella no lo iba a hacer. Al final se qued en el hospital durante casi cuatro meses que vie-nen a casa casi al mismo tiempo como su fecha de vencimiento."

"Cuando Julia naci con veinticuatro semanas, la parte superior de su cabeza hasta la parte inferior de sutorso encajara en su mano con slo sus pequeas piernas colgando. Ella estaba perfectamente estructuraday tena todas sus partes al igual que otros bebs, apenas ms diminutas. Al nacer, los ojos todava cerradosse fusionaron pero abri una semana ms despues y eran de un azul hermoso. La vimos venir en las pestaasy escuch sus gritos poco ms fuerte. Durante el mes pasado, ella estaba en el hospital, empez a crecernotablemente y subir de peso. No se le permiti salir el hospital hasta que tena cinco libras. Cuando final-mente fue enviado a casa, haba llegado a lo que nos pareca la friolera de cinco libras y media. Su cama dehospital estaba cubierto de estampas, medallas Santa Julia, lpices de colores e imgenes de su hermano ysu hermana mayor. Incluso contrabando en un vial muy antigua de agua bendita de Lourdes, que estoy segu-ro que estaba en contra de las normas del hospital, y la bendijo a m mismo. Ella era el recipiente de cientos

de oraciones y amor abundantes. Para nosotros era hermosa y perfecta y no podamos haber amado ms.

"Conducir al hospital y de regreso a nuestro hogar durante dos horas al da durante cuatro meses nos dioun montn de tiempo para la reflexin y la oracin. Por lo general, se habla de radio durante la unidad y, amenudo se oyen las noticias. En ese momento, haba casualmente una noticia de una nia que estaba lu-chando contra los tribunales por el derecho a tener un aborto tardo a los veintiocho semanas. Ese fue unmes completo mas avanzado de la edad gestacional de Julia. Me gustara escuchar la noticia y luego ir alhospital y tomar la mano de Julita y creo que no hay manera posible de que la muchacha poda saber lo quehaba dentro de ella. Era un nio totalmente formado, un nio que, literalmente, tendra que matar a abor-tar el embarazo. Si el beb fue llevado a cabo durante un aborto, lo ms probable es vivir y muy probable-mente sea saludable. Yo rezaba por Julia y yo rezaba para que el pequeo beb. No s el destino de ese ni-o, pero s s Julia es hermoso y saludable hoy en da con muy poco dao residual. S que tom la decisincorrecta. No sabamos lo que iba a suceder. Nos dijeron que esperar lo peor y lo nico que saba es que con-

fiamos en Dios para que nos llevara a travs y si haba algo mal, que la amara de igual manera."- - - - Mara Cisilino - - - feligresa

Recuerdo muy bien el bautismo de la pequea Julia.... Es la experiencia que ms impact mis primerosdos aos en la Dicesis de Joliet cuando estaba asignado en la Parroquia de Santa Mara. Me impact tanprofundamente que he predicado sobre la en numerosas ocasiones de cmo yo estaba asombrado de la fra-gilidad, la belleza y santidad de la vida. Recuerdo vvidamente ir al Hospital de Nios. Recuerdo la peque-a Julia, ms pequeo que mi mano, que tiene una pequea ropa blanca del bautismo para vestir batapuesta sobre ella como con una taza de medicin pequea de agua que se vierte sobre la cabeza, como medijo "Yo te bautizo Julia, en nombre de la el. Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espritu Santo" Recuerdo que cuandoiba a casa pensando que sera escuchar a los pocos das de su muerte y tengo que decir algunas oracionessobre ella y con su amada familia .... Pasaron los meses y yo no o y me mantuvo ocupado el trabajo en

marcha, hasta que un domingo por la maana una madre hermosa joven rodeada por su familia caminarondespus de la misa con una de las nias ms bonitas, con grandes ojos azules hermosos en sus brazos, dealguna forma la vista era familiar pero no estaba seguro hasta que Mara dijo que se trataba de la pequeaJulia que fuisteis bautizados no hace mucho tiempo .... Se me cort la respiracin, Julia, su madre y sufamilia me dej sin aliento.... Dios me dej sin aliento.... Un poco menos de 12 aos haban pasado y elverano pasado llegu a San Juan como su nuevo prroco. Mi primer domingo de la parte de atrs de la igle-sia lleg un joven esposo y padre que me atrajo hacia su querida familia y otra vez esta familia y Dios medej sin aliento.... All estaba ella casi 12, creciente y hermosa como su madre y su hermana y se uni asus dos hermanos.... Todos ellos son preciosos, todos ellos son regalos de Dios.... Todos los bebs que sonconcebidos deben tener la misma pasin enraizamiento para que puedan vivir y crecer en la gracia como lohacen los nios Cisilino de sus padres. - - - - Padre Toms

How hard it is to hear things that wewould rather avoid! Are we like therich young man, only partially livingour faith? Jesus tells him, his disci-ples-and his Stewards-it is also nec-essary to trust in Gods generousfavor, grace, and mercy. This trustwill help us give up material things,care for those who are poor, and berich in the things that matter most.

World Mission Sunday 2012October 20th and 21st

ONE SUNDAY FOR THE WHOLE WORLD

Next Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI calls every Catholic in the world to celebrate our vocation to be missionary. ItsWorld Mission Sunday! As Catholics around the world here at home and in the Missions gather at theEucharist around the table of the Lord, we are to pray for the Churchs worldwide missionary work. We pray forthose awaiting the Good News of our Lords great love for us and for the missionaries who offer the poor and

suffering the light of Christ. And we are to offer financial help through the Society for the Propagation of the Faith for more than1,150 dioceses in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific Islands.

MISSIONARIES OF FAITHToday is World Mission Sunday.We are called to this Eucharistic celebration along with Catholics in every parish, chapel and church throughout the world

to fulfill the call we first heard at Baptism, the call to be missionaries, to share our faith.On World Mission Sunday, we are called in a special way to be missionaries of faith through prayer and participation in

the Eucharist, and by giving generously to the collection.Let us pray especially at this Mass for all who long to hear the hope-filled, saving message of Jesus, and for the priests, reli-

gious and lay catechists in mission countries worldwide who offer them that Good News.

WERE ALL MISSIONARIESDo you know the date of your Baptism?Well, on that day, you became a missionary, called by our Lord to share your faith with those around you and to be part of

the Churchs mission to the world.

We are not all able to travel to foreign lands as St. Francis Xavier did. However, we can all make effort in our daily lives through prayer and sacrifice to support those men and women who are called to leave their homeland and preach the Good Newsof the Lord in a foreign land.

On World Mission Sunday, we have the opportunity to be part of the Churchs missionary work in Asia, Africa, Latin Amer-ica and the Pacific Islands through our prayers and generous help offered to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.

MAKING A WORLD OF DIFFERENCEJust as our young church here in the United States received support in the 19th century from the Catholics of Europe

through the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, so too the growing churches in the Developing World today also require finan-cial help. Your generosity will help make a faith-filled difference around the world!* A gift of $15 is a weeks support of a young man in a mission seminary.* A gift of $25 is a months help for the formation of a religious Sister in the Pacific Islands.* A gift of $50 helps provide care for one of the 50 children at a home in Zambia.

* A gift of $100 covers the cost of a desk and textbook for five of the 300 children in catechism class at a parish on the

Galpagos Islands off Ecuador.Next weekend a second Special Collection will betaken forWorld Mission Sunday. These envelopesare included in your packet. The Special Collectionwill be taken immediately following our regular offer-tory collection. Please be as generous as possible.
