Last week I shared some revealing information from a study that focused on the perceptions of women going through a crisis pregnancy. An article pub-lished by First Things magazine summarized this study. Let’s review.

· When faced with a crisis pregnancy, many women see abortion as the lesser of three evils. The first evil is the loss of self. Many young women might imagine themselves being mothers later in their lives, but they view an early unplanned pregnancy as a death of self. Many young women do not find their identity in motherhood. Bringing a child into the world means the loss of their own life. They view choosing abortion as a choice for survival.

· Abortion is considered an evil by many women. “The scores of women involved in the study (none of whom were pro-life activ-ists and all of whom called themselves “pro-choice”) agreed that abortion is killing.”

· While many of us know adoption to be a beautiful and courageous option, it is rarely perceived as such by a woman in a crisis pregnancy. Adoption, for many women, is seen as a double death. Not only would the woman have to carry the pregnancy to term as a mother, a death of self, but then be a “bad mother” because there is a sense of death by abandoning her child. Many perceive adoption as the worst of the three evils.

I would encourage anyone who claims to be pro-life not to judge women who have these views. It is simply not helpful. Listening, understanding, and empathizing are the keys to effectively communicating a pro-life message. If we want to share, we also have to listen.

Empathizing with women going through a crisis preg-nancy should provoke us to reconsider our pro-life rhetoric and slogans; otherwise, much of our pro-life message falls on deaf ears and only makes things worse. Consider the common pro-life slogan, “Abortion Stops a Beating Heart.” The First Things article that I men-tioned above points out that, “While this may be an effective phrase among pro-lifers, the effect upon a young woman in crisis would probably be to 1) provoke anger at the messenger (pro-lifers), 2) confirm her sense that pro-lifers ignore her life and situation, and 3) drive her further into denial and despair.”I know some in the pews would prefer that my brother priests and I give more strongly worded and more fre-quent anti-abortion homilies. When I preach, I have to consider who is sitting in those pews. Consider this:

· 1 in 4 women by age 45 will have had an abortion (https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/induced-abortion-united-states)

· 4 in 10 women who have had an abortion were churchgoers when they ended a pregnancy (https://www.care-net.org/churches-blog/new-survey-women-go-silently-from-church-to-abortion-clinic)

· And finally, 24% of women who get abortions are Catholic (https://www. guttmacher.org/report/characteristics- us-abortion-patients-2014)

It was Jesus’ gaze of mercy, care, and concern that changed the hearts of those he encountered. As the Body of Christ on earth, it will serve us well if we share that same gaze of mercy, care, and concern to those whom we encounter. If we want to remember the un-born, we have to care for the mother first, understand her situation, and then choose our words carefully.

Monday - Friday College of St. Mary - Our Lady

of Mercy Chapel 7000 Mercy Road

At 2:00 pm on Sunday, October 31st, All Hallows’ Eve, St. Gerald’s Catholic Church on 96th and Q Street, will host a Holy Hour with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament along with the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet.Unfortunately, Halloween has become a secular holiday; however, it has its foundation in Catholic tradition. “Hallow” means “holy” and “e’en” is a shortened version of “evening.” In other words, Halloween is the eve of the day when we, as Catholics, celebrate the lives of the saints and their triumph over sin and death. Please join us as we unite ourselves with Our Lady and the saints in prayer for the protection and healing of our nation and our families. All children who attend are invited to wear saints’ costumes. Please invite family and friends for this prayer gathering.

If you are a parent who has lost a child, please join us at the “He Wept” retreat. This free re-treat will take place on Saturday, November 20th from 9:30 am until 8:00 pm at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Elkhorn. All grieving par-ents whose children of any age have died by any cause, including miscarriage, no matter how long ago, are encouraged to attend. Meals provided. Space is limited. Register by November 1st at tinyurl.com/hewept21. For more information, email Erin Keller, Director of Faith Formation, at [email protected].

The primary way in which our parishes help our neighbors in need is through our St. Vincent de Paul Conferences. The Conference is made up of a team of people who volunteer to meet or call back people from our neighborhoods who have requested financial help. There has been some interest from folks to join, but still not enough. Take the next step to learn more and reach out to Deacon Ron Ryan at St. Joan of Arc Parish- (402) 558-3100 or Maureen Roberts at St. Thomas More- (402) 917-4776.

Another way to learn more but not yet commit is to attend an SVdP orientation on Saturday, November 6 from 9am -1:30pm @ Holy Family, 1715 Izard Street, Omaha, NE 68102.

Spirit Catholic Radio is bringing to Mary Our Queen Catholic Church an up-close experience of the most studied artifact of all time – The Shroud of Turin, what many believe to be the authentic burial cloth of Christ.

Their newest traveling exhibit, The Man of the Shroud, will include 42 beautifully-designed panels on display in the Trinity Rooms from October 22 – 29. Viewing times areweekdays 2pm-8pm & weekends 9am-8pm. This exhibit will raise the questions, “Could the Shroud be the most important archaeological artifact ever found? Does it pro-vide clues to what happened during the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus?” On October 27, at 7 p.m. in the Trinity Rooms, Shroud expert, Jim Bertrand, M.Ed. of the American Confraternity of the Holy Shroud, will give a special presentation and a rare viewing of a Shroud repli-ca, as well as replicas of the Crown of Thorns, whip, nails and Holy Sponge used in the Passion of Our Lord.
