Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washing-
ton, DC, concluding the Extraordinary Jubilee of

A GREAT SUMMER READ THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL SON
By Henri Nouwen
Join an insightful book study in the coming Fall.
After the summer we’ll close out the Jubilee Year of Mercy by study-ing and discussing a classic book by Henri Nouwen that everyone should read at least once. In The Return of the Prodigal Son, Nouwen offers moving insights on Rembrandt’s masterpiece painting and on the famous scripture passage that is unique to the Gospel of Luke (Luke 15:11-32).
Add it to your summer reading list and allow your heart to be drawn more deeply into the gift of God’s mercy. We’ll form small study groups in September. A study guide will be made available to assist the groups in their conversation and reflection.

The Holy Door will become a Door of Mercy through which anyone who enters will experience the love of God who consoles, pardons, and instills hope. — Pope Francis

Excerpt from Misericordiae Vultus (The Face of Mercy), BULL OF INDICTION OF THE EXTRAORDINARY
JUBILEE OF MERCY by Pope Francis
14. The practice of pilgrimage has a special place in the Holy Year, because it represents the journey each of us makes in this life. Life itself is a pilgrimage, and the hu-man being is a viator, a pilgrim travelling along the road, making his way to the desired destination. Similarly, to reach the Holy Door in Rome or in any other place in the world, everyone, each according to his or her ability, will have to make a pilgrimage. This will be a sign that mercy is also a goal to reach and requires dedication and sacri-fice. May pilgrimage be an impetus to conversion: by crossing the threshold of the Holy Door, we will find the strength to embrace God’s mercy and dedicate ourselves to being merciful with others as the Father has been with us …

Respect for Life
Page 4 Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 31, 2016
“Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of posses-sions.” Luke 12:15 The Gospel message today is so contrary to our modern culture where advertising continually tries to convince us that our value lies in the things we possess. Jesus showed us that our true value lies in the way we live our lives. He challenges us to not store up or hoard material possessions, but rather to live a grateful and generous lifestyle.
Gianna Jessen, who miraculously survived a saline abortion, is a powerful, living testimony to the awful realities of the abortion industry and the hypocrisy of the abortion rights movement. “If abortion is about women’s rights, then what were mine? Jessen asked. “There was not a radical feminist standing up and yelling about how my rights were being violated that day; in fact, my life was being snuffed out in the name of women’s rights.” NRL News Today 9/8/15

Natural Family Planning is unique among methods of family planning because it enables its users to work with the body rather than against it. Fertility is viewed as a gift and a reality to live, not a problem to be solved. The methods of Natural Family Planning respect God’s design for married love!

Please Support A3452/S2606, the NJ Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act There is substantial medical evidence that babies in the womb feel pain at a very early stage of gestation. Thanks to ad-vances in medicine, babies as young as 20 weeks post-fertilization can survive and thrive with appropriate care and treat-ment. Experts in the field of Maternal-Fetal medicine routinely administer pain medication as standard medical practice when performing fetal surgery because they recognize these babies as patients.
The NJ Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (A3452/S2606) will protect babies in the womb at 20 weeks and old-er who are capable of feeling pain and ensure that babies born alive during an abortion will be given the same proper lifesaving medical care given to premature infants.
We are happy to report that A3452/S2606, the NJ Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act has been introduced in the NJ Legislature. We thank the sponsors of this bill for wanting to protect babies in the womb and the lives of women. This bill is modeled after H.R. 36, the Federal bill by the same name. Passing this legislation is part of the 2020 Project, a collaborative effort by pro-life groups in NJ to protect babies in the womb who are capable of feeling pain at 20 weeks gestation.
Take Action Now!
• Pray for the protection of babies in the womb and their families. • Contact your NJ State Senator and Assembly Members and ask them to support A3452/S2026, the “Pain Ca-
pable Unborn Child Protection Act.” To find your NJ State Senator and two State Representatives by district/town, visit: http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts/municipalities.asp
• For more information on this initiative or to obtain a car magnet or sticker, please visit www.babiesinthewombfeelpain.com.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support for this effort.
