Feast of Corpus Christi -2- June 14, 2020

LIVING IN THE SPIRIT “Motivated by the Holy Spirit and Love” Thank heavens our Prayer Shawl Ministry is now up and running in person at Pax Christi! We meet outside on the lawn as the parish’s Great Hall is not opened yet. During the stay-at-home order, we did our handy work at home. We stayed safe, but not too sound at times. It was, and still is, a gift to be able to leave the unfortunate ills that has encapsulated each one of us and let our creative talent take over for a short time. In essence that is what saving grace is all about. Our knitting and crocheting work continued because we all had a purpose that was driven by the Holy Spirit to knit away.

These past months led some us into a reflective mood about how lucky we were to have a wonderful group of women giving of themselves to the service and needs of others. It is not out of a sense of duty, but motivated by love and delight to reach others in need of comfort. Once you find your comfort zone, your creative spirit takes over and these prayer shawls become masterpieces for people in need whether due to grief, illness of a loved one or a celebration of life. These recipients sense that someone took the time to knit and pray, and now they have these blessed masterpieces to comfort them. In summary, that is what living in the spirit really means.

Pax Christi Catholic Church - 5 - Littleton, CO

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, Teens and Children Are you considering the possibility of joining the Catholic Church? Do you want to complete your Sacraments of Initiation? The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) and the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, Adapted for Children/Teens (RCIC/T) are the processes established for the universal Church for individuals to become Catholic and receive the sacraments of initiation - Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist. This initiation process also involves the parish community experiencing a renewal in faith as it prepares and welcomes new members into the Church. The Rite speaks of conversion as a “spiritual journey.” Centered on fostering a deep relationship with Jesus and the Church He founded, this journey takes place through distinct stages over a period of time suitable to bring about a thorough catechesis, significant experience of the parish community, and commitment to the liturgical and moral life of the Catholic faithful.

• RCIA is for adults in need of Baptism, adults baptized in another Christian tradition who desire to become Catholic, or adults baptized Catholic in need of First Communion and/or Confirmation.

• RCIC is for children age 7-12 who have not been baptized. • RCIT is for children in 6th-8th grade who have not been baptized OR have been baptized, but have not yet received

their First Reconciliation and First Communion. Please contact Rachel Daugherty, Director of Discipleship with questions:

rdaugherty@paxchristi.org or 720-419-0129

Preparation for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion

Preparing to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion is a minimum two year program: Year One (typically but not limited to 1st grade) - Religious Education classes or Catholic School or previous parish or Diocese of Colorado Springs approved program. Year Two (typically but not limited to 2nd grade) - Religious Education classes and Sacrament Preparation and celebration of these sacraments.

•Families with children entering 2nd-5th grade in the fall of 2020, who completed Religious Education during the 2019-2020 school year, will register for and participate in RE AND Sacrament Preparation for the 2020-2021 school year to prepare to celebrate First Reconciliation and First Communion in 2020-2021. •Families with children entering 2nd-5th grade in the fall of 2020, who did NOT complete Religious Education during the 2019-2020 school year, will register for and participate in RE in 2020-2021, then, register for and participate in RE AND Sacrament Preparation in 2021-2022, to celebrate First Reconciliation and First Communion in 2021-2022.

Sacrament Preparation classes will be at a separate time from, and in addition to, Religious Education classes to allow families to truly engage in this special year without missing out on regular formation. 1. Register your whole family for religious education: vbspro.events/p/paxre20-21 2. You will receive a link to register for Sacrament Preparation in a timely manner after completing RE registration. 3. Register, pay fee ($55 per child), and turn in a copy of your child’s baptismal certificate to Rachel Daugherty.

Can a Catholic ever be justified in voting for a politician who is pro-abortion or pro-euthanasia?

No! Here is why:

Abortion and euthanasia are not like other issues. In the words of St. John Paul the Great, “In the case of an intrinsically unjust law, such as a law permitting abortion or euthanasia, it is therefore never licit to obey it, or to take part in a propaganda campaign in favor of such a law or vote for it (Evangelium Vitae, no. 73). Whereas reasonable Catholics may reasonably disagree on their analysis of and strategy for other issues, such as global warming, immigration, taxes, etc., no one who is pro-abortion or pro-euthanasia can accurately claim to be Catholic on those issues.

1 November AD 2018, Voting Catholic by Marty Dybicz

That we may not only hear but also do the Lord's will by caring for the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the unborn. We pray to the Lord.
