Holy Hour for Healing With the permission of the pastor, each Holy Hour will be offered, among other purposes, for the holiness, purification, and healing of the entire Church, both clergy and laity, at this difficult time. This broad statement of purpose does not preclude other intentions from being included on a day-to-day basis. But the great importance of this question seemed to suggest the need to focus especially on that.

6 Saint Mary Parish · Evanston, Illinois October 7, 2018

St. John Paul, great expounder on life issues, says lay faithful have a vocation and mission to “rediscover and make others rediscover the inviolable dignity of every human person.” As we begin Respect Life Month nationally, here’s a refresher from his (and the Church’s) teaching on respect life issues.

Consider first, he says, the radiance of each person’s origin and destiny. Each of us has been made by God in his likeness, redeemed by his Son, fashioned a living temple of his Spirit and destined for eternal communion with Him. He continues:

“Among all other earthly beings, only a man or a woman is a ‘person’, a conscious and free being and, precisely for this reason, the "center and summit" of all that exists on the earth.”

The dignity of the person is the most precious possession of an individual. As a result, the value of one person transcends all the material world. The words of Jesus, "For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and to forfeit his life?" (Mk 8:36) contain an enlightening and stirring statement about the individual: value comes not from what a person "has" - even if the person possessed the whole world! - as much as from what a person "is."

Consequently,

the human being is always a value as an individual, and as such demands being considered and treated as a person and never, on the contrary, considered and treated as an object to be used, or as a means, or as a thing.

All are clothed alike with this dignity since it “constitutes the foundation of the equality of all people among themselves.”

Wonderfully, this dignity is inviolable.

The acknowledgment of the personal dignity of every human being demands the respect, the defense and the promotion of the rights of the human person. It is a question of inherent, universal and inviolable rights. No one, no individual, no group, no authority, no State, can

change—let alone eliminate—them because such rights find their source in God himself.

First among human rights is the right to life itself.

The inviolability of the person which is a reflection of the absolute inviolability of God, fínds its primary and fundamental expression in the inviolability of human life.

Why? Because all other rights,

“for example, the right to health, to home, to work, to family, to culture . . . [are] false and illusory if the right to life, the most basic and fundamental right and the condition for all other personal rights, is not defended with maximum determination.

Given human life’s ineffable dignity, the Church condemns:

whatever is opposed to life itself such as any type of murder, genocide, abortion, euthanasia or willful self-destruction, whatever violates the integrity of the human person, such as mutilation, torments inflicted on body or mind, attempts to coerce the will itself; whatever insults human dignity, such as subhuman living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, slavery, prostitution, the selling of women and children; as well as disgraceful working conditions, where men are treated as mere tools for profit, rather than as free and responsible persons.

[A]ll these and others of their like are infamies indeed.

Because we laity are surrounded by infamies such as these and it is our vocation to confront and seek to eliminate them, today is a good time to reaffirm this vocation. For more information, see Christifideles Laici, John Paul’s 1998 Post-Synodal Apostalic Exhortation (1988) and Vatican II’s 1965 Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et Spes.

Fair next weekend, October 13-14.

In Amoris Laetitia, the Apostolic Exhortation issued in response to the Synod on the Family, Pope Francis calls for a new approach to responding to the challenges of contemporary family life. He shares his views on family and married life outlining in some detail the many challenges that they face. Join us as Gina Wolfe, a professor at Catholic Theological Union, helps us consider the significance of the Pope’s words and how we, as a people faith, might respond to some of the challenges we encounter in our own lives and the lives of those we love. We’ll meet in the church at 7 p.m. for Dr. Wolfe’s presentation, time for questions and answers and then wine & cheese afterwards.
