Dear Lord Jesus and Mary, Mother of God, hold all these brave souls in the palm of your hand; comfort them and their families. Send angels of protection, love, and comfort to all the service men and women still at war, bring them home safely and comfort their families. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Right to Life-LIFESPAN What Happened In New York?

Many of us have lived through the years when we were promised that abortion would only be available for the first 3 months of pregnancy. Then we heard that, in spite of the full extent of the Roe v Wade decision, abortion would safe, legal and rare.

In the state of New York, abortion is now legal with abso- lutely no restraints:

1.) As to place

2.) As to gestational age of the baby, up to the point of delivery, if the mother’s “health” is threatened.

3.) There is no biological definition of health but

rather consideration of the “age, economic, social and emotional factors”, of the woman are to be considered evidence of health

4.) As to who can perform an abortion—not just a medical doctor, but midwives and physician’s assistants can perform abortions

5.) As to a waiting period

6.) The definition of a human person has been

changed to mean “one who has been born and is alive”

7.) The child need not receive any medical care or intervention if aborted alive

8.) The unborn child cannot be recognized as a homicide victim if the mother is assaulted, or as having died in an accident )e.g., motor vehicle) 9.) There is no provision for the conscience protection

of a medical professional who opposes abortion.

New York is not alone. Democratic representatives in the legislative bodies of Vermont, Rhode Island, New Mexico, New Jersey and Virginia have submitted language similar to New York’s to change their abortion laws. The legisla- ture in Virginia tabled the bill submitted by Assembly Delegate Kathy Tran (D-Fairfax) which clearly would have allowed the abortion of a baby of a woman in active labor. Later that day, the same Assembly Delegate voted for a measure which would protect the environment of a particular caterpillar in Virginia.

Why so many, why now? It would appear that abortion supporters in these and other states fear that Roe v Wade could be overturned. If that were to happen, each state would then have to devise and approve legislation regard- ing abortion. These states want to be “ahead of the curve”

and have laws already codified in their states so as to pre- vent a vote of the people.

Voting is important. Elections have consequences. This is one of them.

Take Five for Faith

The graceful gift of friendship

The church’s current sacramental system designates seven ritual moments in the life of the church as occa- sions of particular grace. Any parochial school child can recite them: the initiating sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist; the healing rituals of Recon- ciliation and Anointing of the Sick; the vocations of Marriage and Holy Orders. But if there’s ever room for an eighth candidate, many might vote for a sacrament of friendship. Who hasn’t experienced their closest friends as occasions of grace? And didn’t Jesus

“institute” this sacrament just as obviously in the choice of his companions from Galilee to Jerusalem? Express your gratitude to a friend today.
