RESPECT LIFE CORNER

Abortion is never a solution. For our part, we must listen, support and understand in order to save two

lives; to respect the smallest and most defenseless hu-man being, to adopt measures to preserve his life, to

allow him to be born and then to be creative in finding ways that will lead to his full development.

~Cardinal Bergoglio 2012

Benny Gatz Kenneth Paul Chojnacki

OUR FAMILIES

Excerpt from “Letter to Families from Pope John Paul II, Gratissimam Sane”

Fatherhood and motherhood are themselves a particular proof of love; they make it possible to discover love’s extension and original depth. But this does not take place automatically. Rather, it is a task entrusted to both husband and wife. In the life of husband and wife together, fatherhood and motherhood represent such a sublime novelty and richness as can only be approached on one’s knees. We cannot forget the perennial validity of the words of the Apostle: “I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named’”. Marriage, the Sacrament of Matrimony, is a covenant of persons in love. And love can be deepened and preserved only by love, the love which is “poured into our hearts through the holy spirit which has been given to us” (Rom 5:5).

Our prayers should concentrate on the crucial and decisive moment of the passage from conjugal love to childbearing, and thus to fatherhood and motherhood. Is it not precisely the moment when there is an indispensable need for the “outpouring of grace of the Holy Spirit” invoked in the liturgical celebration of the Sacrament of Matri-mony?

The Apostle, bowing his knees before the Father, asks that the faithful “be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man” (Eph 3:16). This inner strength is necessary in all family life, especially at its critical moments, when the love which was expressed in the liturgical rite of marital consent with the word, “I promise to be faithful to you always...all the days of my life”, is put to a difficult test.

CEMETERY NOTES…

With the melting of the snow comes the perfect time to remove old Christmas decorations and prepare for

Easter. Anything not removed within the next couple of weeks will be disposed of by our personnel.

Thanks for your help!
