A Message from the Padre

Every day is Respect Life Day. However, the Church in her wisdom calls October

Respect Life Month. This designation is a way of renewing within us profound gratitude for a

gift we all too often take for granted: the precious gift of life. Our theme for Respect Life

Month this year is “Every life is worth living.” Yes every life is worth living. In Christ Jesus,

we do not merely exist, we live. In Christ Jesus, we discover the meaning and purpose of life

and the importance of respecting life from conception to natural death.

Yet, the sad reality is that many in our world today are lukewarm to Jesus’ Gospel of

Life. Thus, we see horrific consequences. Life is reduced to a choice. Abortion is legalized in our country. We see de-

structive experimentation on human embryos. Assisted suicide and euthanasia are being promoted at alarming rates and the

elderly are being discounted. Concern for those on death row stirs controversy as does the call to embrace the immigrant

and the poor in our midst. All of these fall under the broad umbrella of the “Respect Life Program.” For all these issues we

are especially called this month to pray, proclaim and to live the Gospel of Life.

But fighting for the Gospel of Life is not always easy as there are many challenges we have to face that often lead

to ridicule and rejection. In the midst of these challenges, setbacks and disappointments, God is always on our side. He

simply asks us to be “patient” and must entrust all our efforts to Christ, his son, and to the care of Our Blessed Mother.

My dear friends in Christ, as the sun sets on the first Sunday of October, do not let Respect Life Sunday end as

merely a slogan. As the appointed Liaison to the Bishop for Family Life and Pro-life Activity for the Diocese of Trenton, I

ask you to pray especially this month of October and support the Diocesan activities in defending the sanctity of all human life, at the same time keeping in mind that all life is a gift of God to be cherished and respected and not ours to take.

Fr. Joe

The Twenty-Seventh

Sunday in Ordinary Time

Mark 10: 2-16

Today’s scripture passages

from Genesis and the Gospel of

Mark reveal images of faithful love between spouses. The Gos-

pel goes farther, including children in the equation. Listening to

these readings today, let us be mindful of those whose marriages

are a source of anguish, as well as families whose children are

not cared for and respected as they deserve. Let us open our-

selves to the power of God’s living word to transform us all into

faith-filled witnesses to God’s great works in all our human rela-tionships.
