CHARLES BORROMEO PARISH FAMILY January 18, 2015 The 42th Year Respect and care for the life of each person is one of the key pillars of the Church’s teaching about living as a disciple of the Risen Christ. The other is the promotion of the common good and is the key to understanding the Church’s teachings on social justice. This year we mark the 42nd year of the US Supreme Court’s decision to legalize abortion in America. In our society and world today violence against human life is all too prevalent. Abortion, especially in our day, is an icon of such violence. Saint Pope John Paul II called us to create a Culture of Life rather than a Culture of Death. The following paragraphs from Pope John Paul II’s encyclical The Gospel of Life are particularly poignant and consoling with regard to the issue of abortion. “Procured abortion is the deliberate and direct killing, by whatever means it is carried out, of a human being in the initial phase of his or her existence, extending from conception to birth. The decision to have an abortion is often tragic and painful for those involved, especially the mother. Sometimes the decision is not made for purely selfish reasons or out of convenience but out of a desire to protect certain important values such as health or a decent standard of living for the other members of the family. Sometimes it is feared that the child to be born would live in such conditions that it would be better if the birth had not taken place. Nevertheless, these reasons and others like them, however serious and tragic, can never justify the deliberate killing of an innocent human being. I would like now to say a special word to women who have had an abortion. The Church is aware of the many factors which may have influenced your decision and she does not doubt that in many cases it was a painful and even shattering decision. The wound in your heart may not yet have healed. Certainly what happened was and remains terribly wrong. But do not give in to discouragement and do not loose hope. Try rather to understand what happened and face it honestly. If you have not already done so, give yourselves over with humility and trust to repentance. The Father of mercies is ready to give you his forgiveness and his peace in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. You will come to understand that nothing is definitely lost and you will be able to ask forgiveness from your child who is now living with the Lord. With the friendly and expert help and advice from other people, and as a result of your own painful experience, you can be among the most eloquent defenders of everyone’s right to life. Through your commitment to life, whether by accepting the birth of other children or by welcoming and caring for those most in need of someone to be close to them, you will become promoters of a new way of life.” (The above paragraphs are taken from Saint Pope John Paul II’s encyclical The Gospel of Life. See especially paragraphs #’s 58, 59 and 99.) Plan to Attend Join Fr. Mike for a relaxing evening of reflection with Fr. Robert Barron (on DVD) on the process of Conversion and Finding the Center of our Life. Friday Jan 23rd, 6:00-9:00pm, beginning with dinner, in the Parish Center.

Rachel’s Corner Hope and Healing After Abortion If a history of sexual abuse has existed before an abortion, the woman may experience the abortion itself as simply a further continuation of the violations of self that have gone before. After the abortion, just as after episodes of sexual abuse, she must be prepared to hide her shame, guilt, despair and grief behind a painted mask of normalcy. We can help. Healing and hope are awaiting you on a Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat™. The next retreat is March 6-8, 2015. Call Valerie: 1-800-822-HOPE (4673) You are loved with an everlasting Love!
