From Wanda�

We are in the midst of celebrating Forty Days for LIFE, and this is a

good opportunity to reflect on what Pope Francis has written on life

issues, as he can often be misinterpreted or misquoted in the media.

In his beautiful Apostolic Exhortation ‘The Joy of the Gospel’ he

writes: “Among the vulnerable for whom the Church wishes to care

with particular love and concern are unborn children, the most �

defenseless and innocent among us. Nowadays efforts are made to

deny them their human dignity and to do with them whatever one

pleases, taking their lives and passing laws preventing anyone from

standing in the way of this. Frequently, as a way of ridiculing the

Church’s effort to defend their lives, attempts are made to present

her position as ideological, obscurantist and conservative. Yet this

defense of unborn life is closely linked to the defense of each and

every other human right. It involves the conviction that a human �

being is always sacred and inviolable, in every situation and at every

stage of development. Human beings are ends in themselves and

never a means of resolving other problems. Once this conviction

disappears, so do solid and lasting foundations for the defense of

human rights, which would always be subject to the passing whims

of the powers that be. Reason alone is sufficient to recognize the

inviolable value of each single human life, but we also look at the

issue from the standpoint of faith, every violation of the personal �

dignity of the human being cries out in vengeance to God and is an

offense against the creator of the individual.” (No. 213).�

�

In his Apostolic Exhortation, ‘Rejoice and Be Glad’, he writes: “A

harmful theological error is found in those who find suspect the �

social engagement of others, seeing it as superficial, worldly, �

secular, materialist, communist or populist. Or they relativize it, as if

there are other more important matters, or the only thing that counts

is one particular ethical issue or cause that they themselves defend.

Our defense of the innocent unborn, for example, needs to be clear,

firm and passionate, for at stake is the dignity of a human life, which

is always sacred and demands love for each person, regardless of

his or her stage of development. Equally sacred, however, are the

lives of the poor, those already born, the destitute, the abandoned

and the underprivileged, the vulnerable infirm and the elderly �

exposed to covert euthanasia, the victims of human trafficking, new

forms of slavery, and every form of rejection. We cannot uphold an

ideal of holiness that would ignore injustice in a world where some

revel, spend with abandon and live only for the latest consumer

goods, even as others look on from afar, living their entire lives in

abject poverty.” (No 101). On May 11

th

, 2018 Pope Francis �

enshrined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (No. 2267):

“The Church teaches in the light of the Gospel, that the death �

penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and

dignity of the human person, and she works with determination for its

abolition worldwide.” �

Church’s missionary efforts, through prayer,

self�sacrifice, and support of the Mission

Francis asks us to respond to that call, saying,

“Here I Am, Send Me!” To “send” ourselves,

we can: PRAY for the Church’s worldwide

missionary work OFFER financial HELP and

CHARITY through the collection for the �

Society for the Propagation of the Faith for

Dress the Part

Can you imagine being invited to a reception at Bucking-

ham Palace? Furthermore, can you imagine showing up

in any old outfit you just happened to pull from your �

closet? Almost certainly you would accept the invitation

promptly, and then make preparations to be dressed in

your finest. Jesus’ story in today’s Gospel has some �

surprising twists and turns. It concerns a king hosting a

wedding feast for his son. Even the weddings of ordinary

people at the time were days filled with ritual and �

feasting, so a king’s summons to such an event was a

singular mark of favor. Even so, some of the invited

guests decide they have better things to do and refuse.

Some are so angry at being interrupted that they attack

the messengers. The king is furious and deals harshly

with those who have murdered his servants. Now the

king offers his invitation to the crowds in the streets: �

anyone who wants to can come to this feast. The �

banquet hall, we are told, fills up with a motley crew of

guests. Among the crowd, however, the king spots one

man who is not dressed for the occasion and who cannot

explain why. This guest is thrown out into the dark night.

Yet how could the man have been properly dressed?

Wasn’t he just pulled in off the street? Yes, but the king

would have had a wedding garment waiting for each

guest at the entrance. This man did not bother to pick

one up. In Jesus’ time, this was an insult of the worst kind

to the host. We are all invited to the table of the Lord. Our

outer wedding garment is to dress with care and respect.

Our inner garment is to put on Christ, clothing ourselves

in his love and goodness in order to be worthy of the

Kingdom.�

�

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,�

We celebrate World Mission Sunday (WMS) on October 18th this year. This annual, worldwide �

Eucharistic celebration emphasizes our shared baptismal call to mission.�

In his message for World Mission Sunday (WMS), Pope Francis implores us � “In this year

marked by the suffering and challenges created by the COVID�19 pandemic, the missionary journey

of the whole Church continues in light of the words found in the account of the calling of the prophet

Isaiah: “Here I am, send me” (6:8). This is the ever�new response to the Lord’s question: ‘Whom

shall I send?’ This invitation from God’s merciful heart challenges both the Church and humanity,

in the current world crisis.”�

The Holy Father reminds us that, as baptized Christians, we are called personally to mission � �

especially at this time � to bring Christ’s love to those most forgotten around the world. Jesus is God

the Father’s own Missionary. He asks us to respond to this call to mission, this invitation to “step out

of ourselves for love of God and neighbor.” What will your answer be? “Here I Am, Send Me” is the

response we will all endeavor to live out through prayer, participation in the Eucharist, and �

generosity to the WMS collection.�

This year’s COVID crisis created setbacks for our nation, but it presented far greater hardships for

our brothers and sisters in poor mission countries. This year, in response to the challenges to the

Mission Church from the pandemic, I invite all of us in this diocese to respond in the most generous

way possible. As you do, I offer my sincere personal gratitude for your kind missionary heart,

reaching out in love on World Mission Sunday.�

Gratefully in the Lord,�

�
