THE GOOD NEWSREFLECTION FROM OUR DEACON

Remember being a kid when your day at Cedar Point or the beach was coming to an end and you heard from a parent that, “All good things must come to an end?” While there’s some truth in this statement, hearing these words didn’t make the feeling of sadness any less intense did it?What this proverb is meant to convey is the idea that nothing lasts forever, that all things and situations are temporary, and happiness is fleeting. Well, I’m here today to dispute this “truth!” While it is true that all created, worldly things will end there is one thing (only) that lasts through eternity. Yes, you guessed it, the Kingdom of Jesus Christ our loving Lord. From the Letter to the Hebrews we hear, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.”These words from Scripture remind us that since the dawn of time nothing about the Trinity has changed and nothing ever will. Certainly, we can’t say this about the things of a world that is infected with an invisible evil. But how fortunate we are to be counted as Catholics who are in the world but not of this world. So here we are, stuck in a sense between two vastly different places or realms.When we read about the life of our Lord in the Bible and contemplate the miracles that he performed, we sometimes wish we could bridge the gap between the worlds we find ourselves in – and that we could find Jesus still walking with us. If only we could touch the “hem of his garment”, wake him during the storms of our lives, or hear his words of wisdom, then our problems would vanish and all would be well.Yes, our human life is fragile – COVID 19 proves that. But Christ is still here in 2020, fully present in Sacred Scripture and in the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist. As Catholics, we believe that the tiny white host consecrated at every Mass is the same identical Jesus who walked the earth two-thousand years ago, the same Jesus that was with the Father at the dawn of time. His appearance may be different today, but it’s still Him! So, most, but not all, good things come to an end.If you’re not able to be in public quite yet and attend Mass please don’t miss the opportunity to be with our living Lord in Scripture or better yet how about a visit with him in our Adoration Chapel. Many times, there are no worshippers there – so no fears about entering! Or you might try a “drive up” visit – just pull up in the parking area and stay in your car and gaze in. He knows you’re there – he’s gazing back at you. Tell Him your problems, share your anxieties, express your love for him and thank him for being our Savior and for our being able to take comfort in the fact that…Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever!Glory be to Him forever and ever!Deacon Steve

Please pray for our RCIA Candidates (and their sponsors) as they receive the sacraments in a private Mass to be held at the end of July. Baptism, First Eucharist, and Confirmation Alex Haney First Eucharist and Confirmation Ann Binnie, David Tucker, Tonya Coleman, Brandy Crouch, and Myra Bates

Catholic teaching on love, sex, and “responsible parent-hood”1 is a resounding “YES!” to God’s plan for husband, wife, and marriage. When a man and woman marry, their “Yes” to each other should also include their “Yes” to God’s plan for married love. Why?

God is the author of marriageGod is the creator. He created men and women in his

image (Gen 1:27). And, God is the author of marriage as well. God designed married love to be total,2 fruitful, faith-ful and exclusive. Marriage was created to mirror God’s own Trinitarian love. Married love therefore rejoices in the other and is respectful of God’s design. This means that husband and wife offer themselves to each other as a gift. There is no “taking” here, just “offering” and “receiving.” There is no exclusion, like denying God, one’s person, or fertility. Anything that counters the meaning and beautiful integrity of the marital act and God’s call for life is avoided (e.g, contraception, sterilization, pornography, IVF, or surrogacy).3

God willed that married love involves the whole person, with reason, a well-formed conscience in God’s truth (that’s what Church teaching is!), and fertility. It also means that husband and wife understand that openness to new human life is not an “add on” but an essential element of married life—indeed God himself entrusted husband and wife with the gift of life.4 This is true whether a couple is fertile or not. Married couples ought to prayerfully discern when God is calling them to bring new life into the world, not treat it in a casual way.

What does all this have to do with Natural Family Planning (NFP)?

Catholic teaching on the nature of human sexuality, marriage, conjugal love and responsible parenthood reflects God’s loving design. The significance of NFP methods is that they are the tools to help husband and wife live that

reality. This is because the methods of NFP respect God’s plan for married love. They do nothing to harm God’s design. That is why the Church supports NFP use in marriage.

NFP—good medicineNatural Family Planning is the general title for the sci-

entific and moral methods of family planning that can help married couples either achieve or postpone a pregnancy. NFP methods provide fertility education that is informative and practical. NFP helps husband and wife to live healthfully and honestly with their combined fertility.

The facts of human reproduction form the basis of all NFP methods. Specifically, NFP methods attempt to iden-tify the “fertile window” of husband and wife. The fertile window is the combination of information about the wom-an’s day of fertility (ovulation, which occurs only within a 12-24 hour period) and that of the man’s fertility (sperm, which can live in a fertile woman’s body for up to 5 days). When a woman is fertile, her reproductive hormones will send messages that yield specific and observable signs. Rec-ognizing the pattern of those physical signs forms the basis for most NFP methods.

NFP methodsThe majority of NFP methods are based on the daily

observation of the woman’s signs of fertility.5 This takes some effort to learn. NFP methods provide guidelines to help couples identify the fertile and infertile time in the wife’s cycle. Pinpointing their “fertile window” (the number of days within the menstrual cycle when they are likely to conceive), is the central focus of NFP methods.

Being able to accurately identify the couple’s fertile window is key to successful use of NFP. When a couple realizes that God is calling them to have a baby, they may use the fertile window to conceive. When spouses decide that it is time to avoid a pregnancy, they will abstain from sex during

the fertile time. Periodic sexual abstinence is the NFP means to avoid a pregnancy. No drugs, barriers, devices, or surgical procedures are ever used.

NFP works!Any couple can use an NFP method. The key is to learn

the method well, be aware of God’s will for your marriage, and apply the guidelines consistently.

When looking for an NFP method to learn, you should know that there is no “best method.” All NFP methods are based on solid science. Choosing a method depends upon how much fertility information a couple needs and can live with!

NFP, it’s time! It’s time to give NFP a chance! The benefits are many.

NFP provides sound fertility education. It is environmen-tally safe and has no harmful side-effects. NFP education is also economical. Most providers charge fees for class (or an on-line course) and any resources—that’s it!

Most importantly, NFP respects God’s plan for mar-ried love. It promotes respect for one’s spouse, the virtue of chastity, self-sacrifice, and mindfulness regarding the meaning of married love. It may not always be easy, but if a couple perseveres, NFP can actually help them deepen their relationship with each other and God!

1 To learn about Catholic teaching on responsible parenthood, see: www.usccb.org/nfp/what-is-nfp/responsible-parenthood.cfm

2 Married love “involves a totality, in which all the elements of the person enter—appeal of the body and instinct, power of feeling and affectivity and aspiration of the spirit and of the will” (Familiaris consortio, [FC] no. 13). Married love is the most deeply personal union found among men and women (see Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC], no. 1643). The marital union calls husband and wife to become one flesh, one heart and one soul (see FC, no. 13). It therefore “demands indissolubility and faithfulness in … mutual giving; and it is open to fertility” (FC, no. 13).

3 On contraception and sterilization, see the papal encyclical, Humanae vitae, which discusses the nature of conjugal love and responsible parenthood and the moral prohibition of contraception at http://w2.vatican.va/content/paul-vi/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-vi_enc_25071968_humanae-vitae.html. On pornography, see the U.S. bishops’ pastoral letter on anti-pornography and other resources at http://www.usccb.org/cleanheart. For a summary of Catholic teaching on the moral prohibition of some assisted repro-ductive technologies see http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/marriage-and-family/natural-family-planning/catholic-teaching/upload/Life-Giving-Love-in-an-Age-of-Technology-2009-2.pdf.

4 In fact, the Church teaches that when they marry, husband and wife receive a “kind of consecration in the duties and dignity of their state” (Gaudium et spes, no. 48). Part of their sacred “duty” is to become parents if it is God’s will in their marriage.

5 A handful of NFP methods are based on the research of women using the classic methods. These other NFP methods use a formula (algorithm) to calculate the woman’s fertile time. See http://www.factsaboutfertility.org/resources/overview/standard-days-method.
