The Wise men come bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They stoop down and kneel before the King of Kings to give him homage.

He is encouraging a return to tradition. Continued Pg. 2 Mass Intentions for January….

Dear Brothers and Sisters, January 6th is the Epiphany of the Lord. The Wise men come bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They stoop down and kneel before the King of Kings to give him homage. We Catholics know a lot about “spiritual exercises” (standing, sitting, kneeling, etc.). The way we pray affects what we believe. Lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi. As we worship, so we believe so we live.

From the Pastor’s Office Continued… Pope Benedict encouraged the same thing over a decade ago. We must remember Pope Benedict was a well-seasoned priest, a theologian, when he attended the Second Vatican Council. He lived through the turmoil of changes that were not prescribed by the council but were done in the “spirit” of the council, such as the tearing down of altar rails. He is one of the very few living prelates to be ordained before the council, be present at it and experience the changes that were wrought following it. He knows how things were, what transpired and what was lost. As Pope, whenever he would celebrate Mass, anyone who would receive our Lord in Holy Communion would kneel (at a kneeler) and receive Jesus’ Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity on the tongue. The Pope was sending an explicit signal to the world on what needs to be restored. No one paid attention, especially bishops. Bishop Strickland is one of the few in the U.S. who takes heed and encourages a way of prayer that reinforces our belief and profoundly changes our life. Hiliare Belloc, a famous Catholic writer of the early-mid 1900’s, was “kneeling at Mass in Westminster Cathedral. A sacristan whispered to him, ‘Excuse me sir, we stand here.’ Belloc: “Go to Hell” Sacristan: “I’m sorry, sir, I didn’t know you were a Catholic.” (Sheed, F. (1974). The Church and I, page 33) In Christ, Fr. Eddie

What is Pro Life? Are we sure we are 100% Pro Life? – Part I

The Church teaches that all life is sacred and must be cherished and protected from conception to natural

death. By keeping this guiding principle in mind in reviewing all the following moral issues of today, we can

quickly see what it means to be 100% Pro Life, no exceptions.

Abortion

This is defined as the removal of an embryo before it can survive outside the uterus. While it may not look or

function completely as a baby, it is still a baby. All things are what they are at their inception. By not protecting

and nurturing an embryo, we have taken the life of a little boy or girl.

Now we have to ask the difficult questions for some. While many people are against abortion in general, and still

calling themselves prolife, they take exception in the following cases: rape, incest, or severe mental or physical

birth defects in the unborn child. Those exceptions to abortion are not prolife, because they are not protecting all

life. We cannot take the life of any unborn child, regardless of their condition or the circumstances of their

conception. The child is innocent, created by God in his image, and deserving of God’s plans for his life here on

earth.

If you believe that Abortion is wrong, then you are Pro Life on this issue.

Joann Murray Lucas, Texas ¿Qué es ser pro-vida? ¿Estamos seguros de ser 100% pro-vida? – Parte I La Iglesia enseña que toda vida es sagrada y debe ser valorada y protegida desde la concepción hasta la muerte natural. Manteniendo en nuestra mente este principio guiador cuando reveamos todos los problemas morales de hoy en dia, rápidamente comprenderemos que quiere decir que somos pro-vida 100%, sin excepciones.

Aborto Se define como la extracción de un embrión antes de poder sobrevivir fuera del útero. El embrión puede que no parezca o no funcione completamente como un bebé, pero es un bebé. Todas las cosas son lo que son desde su principio. Al no proteger o alimentar un embrión, hemos extinguido la vida de un pequeño niño o niña. Ahora debemos hacer las preguntas difíciles para algunos. Mientras que mucha gente está contra del aborto en general, y todavía llamándose pro-vida, hacen excepciones en los siguientes casos: violación, incesto o deformaciones severas mentales o físicas del bebé no nacido. Estas excepciones al aborto no son pro-vida, porque no protegen toda vida. No podemos extinguir la vida de un bebé no nacido, no importa su condición o las circunstancias de su concepción. El bebé es inocente, creado por Dios a su imagen y merecedor del plan de Dios para su vida aquí en la Tierra. Si usted considera que el aborto es pecado siempre, entonces usted es pro-vida en esta cuestión. Joann Murray Lucas, Texas
