Stewardship of Prayer
Pastor’s MessageDear Parishioners,
World Marriage Day is celebrated this 6th week in Or-dinary Time. The fifth chapter from Matthew’s Gospel talks about adultery and divorce. These are negative aspects of Sacrament of Marriage. The best way to understand this sacrament is to discover its positive meaning. I like to keep it simple and to keep it to five ideas. There are two kinds of love and three fruits. The two kinds of love are unitive love and procreative love. The three fruits are: faithful,
permanent and fruitful. When faithfulness is broken we end up with adultery. When permanence is broken we end up with divorce. When fruitfulness is broken we end up with contraception. When the three fruits are broken the two kinds of love are shattered. To protect the Sacrament of Marriage for the next generation we cannot cheat on any of these five ideas.
I, as an unmarried person, am counting on married persons to promote, protect and defend the Sacrament of Marriage. I know forgiveness creates the unity that is required in unitive love. Let us celebrate the forgiveness of God and celebrate World Marriage Day.
Sincerely in Christ,

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
I imagine this conversation between Jesus and some people at the Women’s March in D.C. Jesus: You have heard it said, “Women’s Rights are Human Rights.” But I say to you, “Yes! Atrocities toward women are the scourge of history. You’ve brought attention to many, like equal pay for equal work, but there’s more. End sex trafficking. Starve the pornography industry, which endangers women and changes the brains of the men who use it. End domestic abuse everywhere. End the abduction of girls and women by groups like Boko Haram and others. Secure safe education for every girl on the planet. That will keep you busy.”And I imagined this conversation in the same city at the March for Life the next week.Jesus: You have heard it said, “Life begins at conception.” I say to you, “Yes! And it ends in natural death. Redouble your efforts―and you’ve made some brilliant and creative starts ― to provide first-rate prenatal care and labor and delivery for all mothers. Make sure their families have nutritious food and safe, secure housing. Continue to educate about adoption services. Use your lives to lift up those who are poor. Protect the environment. And never, ever let an elderly person feel she has a duty to die. That will keep you busy.”“But Lord,” I heard both groups cry, “you’re asking the impossible! We’d need far, far more people all over the globe to commit their lives to these unsolvable problems. Can’t we leave them to the next generation to solve?”“What next generation? YOU are the light of the world,” he said. “Go set fire to the earth.”
How are you working to solve an unsolvable problem?Kathy McGovern ©2017 www.thestoryandyou.com
