FOR ALL OF US:

Friday, January 22 is a

Day of Penance and Prayer

On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a ruling in the Roe v. Wade case that imposed abortion-on-demand throughout our land. This decision has enabled the liquidation of about 58 million pre-born children in America through chemical and surgical abortions, not counting the grief of their mothers (and fathers) and the subversion of American medicine and science. Moreover, the ruling provided a legal basis for a “culture of death” (St. John Paul II) in America, as death and dehumanization become solutions embraced for today’s problems, whether via abortion, euthanasia, unjust war, “enhanced interrogation techniques” (in other words, torture, e.g. waterboarding), embryonic stem-cell research, infanticide, neglect and abuse of the poor and needy, or “entertainment” such as the video games Assassin‘s Creed and Grand Theft Auto. The grotesque recent videos of Planned Parenthood’s commerce in the organs and parts of murdered preborn children add a dimen-sion once imaginable only to certain writers and producers of dystopian science fiction.

To offer penance to Almighty God, Who judges nations as well as individuals, for affronts to the dignity of the human per-son due to abortion and to pray for the full restoration of the legal right to life, the Catholic bishops of the U.S.A. ask us to observe Friday, January 22 this year as a day of prayer and penance. Whether or not you go with our delegation to Washing-ton that day, you are welcome at our Mass that morning at 5 a.m. in the church. No Mass or Holy Hour will be held that eve-ning. Live that day with a Lenten attitude, to pray more with the pro-life theme and to make greater sacrifice (e.g. if not meat, then soap operas, video games, text messages, Snapchat, Wishbone, Twitter, popular music, or dancing). Kyrie, eleison! Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the pro-life cause, pray for and with us!

For YOU: a Gift that

keeps on Giving

Take and use your box of enve-lopes for 2016! Individually labeled boxes are placed on tables in the back of the church. No box for you there? Then enroll on the list on the table close to the kiosk or call the rectory to register in our parish! 2016 parish calendars are available too in the back of the church.

OJO: Se cerrará la Casa Cural MAÑANA por el Día de Martin Luther King. Sin embargo, habrá la Santa Misa

a las 9h. en la Capilla de la Casa Cural.

Viernes, 22 de enero: Día de Penitencia y Rezo

El 22 de enero del 1973 es una fecha infame de la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos por su fallo, Roe v. Wade, que inventó el “derecho” del abor-to legal. La decisión facilitó la matanza

de 58 millones de niños en EE.UU. (aprox.) por abortos quími-cos y quirúrgicos, ni hablar del duelo de tantas madres (y padres también) y la perversión de la medicina y ciencia. El aborto legal anima una <<cultura de la muerte>> (San Juan Pablo II) que cita a la muerte como solución a tantos problemas, sea por el aborto, la tortura, culto de la “Santa Muerte”, explotación de genes embriónicos, eutanasia, descuido de los pobres y débiles, la gue-rra injusta y <<diversiones>> como juegos de videos violentos y sangrientos (vb. “Assassin’s Creed,” “Grand Theft Auto”). La serie de videos mostrando el comercio de “Planned Parenthood” de órganos y partes de bebes abortados (por esa misma empresa multimillonaria) brinda otra dimensión imaginable quizás hace décadas por escritores de novelas, películas o programas de fic-ción científica o de horror.

Los obispos de EE.UU. nos pide observar el viernes, 22 de enero como Día de Penitencia y Oración para ofrecer expia-ción a Dios, el Juez Supremo de naciones ademàs de personas, y para orar por la restauración de garantías legales del derecho de vida. Observemos el día cuaresmalmente, de rezar màs (con tema de pro-vida) y sacrificar (vb., telenovelas, carne, juegos de video). ¡Kyrie, eleison! ¡Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, patrona del movimiento pro-vida, ruega por nosotros!
