Today is Pentecost Sunday, the 50th day after Easter (counting both Easter Sunday and today). Pentecost is often called “the birthday of the Church.” As we hear in Holy Scripture, today is the day that the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus’ followers, and with that Jesus’ mission on earth was completed. Jesus calls His followers and literally all of us to be missionaries. The Latin root word for “missionary” is derived from the original Greek word apostolos,which meant “one sent forth.” Obviously, we get the word “apostle” from that as well. It is further defined as one who attempts to persuade or convert. It involves the “apostle” or “disciple” working outside of the community. When Jesus spoke these words, “As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” That includes each and every one of us. We, too, are sent. Many times we have reiterated that being sent means that we live out our Catholic faith in everything we do. That is the best way to evangelize, to let those around us know what it means to be a Christian and a fol-lower of Christ and His disciple. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops made the following statement about what it means to evangelize: “Here, there are two elements of evangelization at work: 1. Witness, which is the simple living out of the faith; 2. Shar-ing, which is spreading the Good News of Jesus.” Do we follow the admonitions given us by the Lord? Are we ex-amples of what it means to be a Catholic and Christian? Do we truly share the Good News? Abortion Industry Exposed! For years we have been told that legal abortions were necessary for the health and well-being of the mother. It is a lie. Dr. Ber-nard Nathanson, co-founder of the National Abortion Rights Ac-tion League, who later became a Christian pro-life activist, ad-mitted that his group blatantly lied about the number of women dying from illegal abortions. The truth is only a small percentage (less than one-tenth of 1 percent by some counts) of the 1.3 million abortions in the United States each year are to save the mother's life. Instead statistics suggest that 85 percent of all abortions are performed as a means of birth control and are three times more likely to be by a woman on Medicaid. Family planning and abortion clinics in the United States are a $2 billion a year industry with a 1.3 percent growth over five years, with 40 percent of all the coun-try's abortions being performed at Planned Parenthood. Abortion clinics, by and large, are seedy, dirty, nefarious profit centers that don't care a lick about the woman or her rights. They are all about turning a quick buck. Just look at the recent cases of Dr. Kermit Gosnell in Philadelphia or Dr. Douglas Karpen in Houston whose depraved actions are just too disgusting to de-scribe in this family bulletin. Another clinic threw remains on its roof to avoid hazardous waste removal fees. The list of abusive practices goes on and on. Fortunately, slowly but surely, the dirty secrets are being exposed to the public. It's about time! By Pro-Life
