Sanctity of Life Laudato Si’ on Abortion

By Pope Francis

“Since everything is interrelated, concern for the protection of nature is also incompatible with the justifica-tion of abortion. How can we genuinely teach the importance of concern for other vulnerable beings, however troublesome or inconvenient they may be, if we fail to protect a human embryo, even when its presence is uncomfortable and creates difficulties? If personal and social sensitivity towards the acceptance of the new life is lost, then other forms of ac-ceptance that are valuable for society also wither away. (120)

Laudato Si’ on Birth Control “Instead of resolving the problems of the poor and thinking of how the world can be different, some can only propose a reduction in the birth rate. At times, developing countries face forms of international pressure which make economic assistance contingent on certain policies of ‘reproductive health’… To blame population growth instead of extreme and selective consumerism on the part of some, is one way of refusing to face the issues.” (50) “In the face of the so-called culture of death, the family is the heart of the culture of life.”

Relevant Radio—AM 1430 The national Catholic Radio network, Relevant Radio, has begun broadcasting Catholic programming from within the Archdiocese of Newark. We encourage you to listen to WSNW - AM 1430, a terrific outlet for Catholic news, opinion and entertainment.

Carefree Days of Summer? Summertime and the living is easy but not free from our respon-sibility as followers of Christ to help those in need. The hot, leisurely days of summer provide an excellent opportunity to get caught up on some of those tasks which we postponed during the demanding days of winter. Would you be willing to go through your closets to get rid of all those unwanted heavy winter clothes and shoes which served you so well during this blistering winter season? Please donate any unwanted clothing to the Catholic Charities bin located on the parking lot.

“Praise be to you, my Lord.” “LAUDATO SI’, mi’ Signore” – “Praise be to you, my Lord.” These are the words that open Pope Francis’ encyclical on ecology and care for God’s creation. These words, quoting St. Francis of Assisi’s beautiful canticle, remind us that our common home is like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us. Pope Francis addresses Laudato Si’ to “every person on the plan-et,” for we all share a common home—the earth. He focuses on a number of important themes. A Moral and Spiritual Challenge. The ecological cr isis, Pope Francis writes, is a summons to profound interior conversion—to renew our relationships with God, one another, and the created world. Care for God’s Creation. God created the wor ld and en-trusted it to us as a gift. Now we have the responsibility to care for and protect it and all people, who are part of creation. Protecting human dignity is strongly linked to care for creation. We are All Connected. We are connected to the rest of the human family, to the created world, and to those who will come after us in future generations. Impact on the Poor. People in pover ty have contr ibuted least to climate change, yet they are disproportionately impacted by it. As a result of excessive use of natural resources by wealthy na-tions, those who are poor experience pollution, lack of access to clean water, hunger, and more. Called to Solidarity. We are one human family and have a shared responsibility for others and for creation. Wealthy countries have a responsibility to reduce consumption of non-renewal re-sources and should help poorer nations develop in sustainable ways. Technological and economic development must serve human beings and enhance human dignity, instead of creating an economy of exclusion, so that all people have access to what is needed for authentic human development. Supporting Life, Protecting Creation. Concern for nature is incompatible with failure to protect vulnerable human beings, such as unborn children, people with disabilities, or victims of human trafficking. A Time to Act. Pope Francis calls for a change in lifestyle and consumption. We can make important changes as individuals, families, and communities, and as civil and political leaders. Hope and Joy. “Injustice is not invincible” (no. 74) and we act knowing that we seek to live out God’s vision of renewed relation-ships with God, ourselves, one another, and creation.

How You Can Respond Each of us are called to take concrete steps – from reducing con-sumption to working for political change – to better care for crea-tion. Here are some ideas. 1. Become more aware of our connectedness. Care for one another and creation includes understanding that “everything is connect-ed” (no. 91) and that the economy, politics, community involve-ment, and technology all affect the future of the planet and human-kind. How can we become more aware of our connectedness? 2. Changes to lifestyle and consumption habits can make a big difference. For example, get a re-usable water bottle, take shorter showers, walk, bike or take public transportation instead of driving, recycle, compost food waste, and buy energy efficient appliances. 3. Make changes institutionally at your parish, school, or work-place. For example, start recycling and composting, use washable dinnerware in cafeterias, share electronically instead of printing, do an energy audit, and install solar panels. 4. Support local efforts to solve environmental problems. Commu-nity groups around the country are working to make city, county, and state-wide changes that can make a big difference. Find out what is going on locally and get involved. 5. Contact your members of Congress to share Pope Francis’ mes-sage and urge action to address climate change.

Statement of The Most Reverend John J. Myers,

Archbishop of Newark, On the Encyclical of Pope Francis

On the Importance of Caring for Our Environment Laudato Si’

The Holy Father’s exhortation that God charges every human being with the role of protecting and caring for our physi-cal environment has a special meaning for me. I am a child of the Midwest who was raised in a farm-ing community. I understand that every human, every animal, every plant depends on the gifts of the world – air, water, arable land. I learned at the youngest of ages that crops, animals and people suffer when we do not care for the land and its gifts. All too often today, society seeks to redefine the im-portant issues merely in terms of the secular. The secular world’s emphases on money, advantage, personal gain and per-sonal choice can come at the expense of the people whom God has created, and for whom He created this world and its gifts. Life cannot be lived as one instead of many; it must be lived as one for the many. The Church has always taught that we have a special responsibility – in all areas – to make sure that the gifts of the earth are available to all, especially the poorest and least influen-tial among us. Today, the people of this local Church of Newark stand with the Holy Father as he once again, on behalf of the universal Church, calls on everyone to use and protect our re-sources and climate to enrich the human family of all nations. Pope Francis challenges us today to go beyond the po-litical, to go beyond the economic. He says squarely, clearly, simply, that we have a “responsibility to nurture the Earth, to nurture creation, to keep it and make it grow according to its laws.” His words echo the words of Jesus Christ, who said; “Do this in memory of me.”

Prayer for Creation

Triune Lord, wondrous community of infinite love, teach us to contemplate you in the beauty of the universe, for all things speak of you.

Awaken our praise and thankfulness for every being that you have made.

Give us the grace to feel profoundly joined to everything that is.

God of love, show us our place in this world as channels of your love

for all the creatures of this earth, for not one of them is forgotten in your sight.

Enlighten those who possess power and money that they may avoid the sin of indifference,

that they may love the common good, advance the weak, and care for this world in which we live.

The poor and the earth are crying out. O Lord, seize us with your power and light,

help us to protect all life, to prepare for a better future,

for the coming of your Kingdom of justice, peace, love and beauty.

Praise be to you! Amen.

Excerpted from “A Christian prayer in

union with creation,” in Laudato Si’, no. 246

Levántate y Camina. El pasaje del Evangelio de este domingo está hecho de escenas que se suceden rápidamente en lugares distintos. Está ante todo la escena a orillas del lago. Jesús está rodeado de un gran gentío cuando un hombre se arroja a sus pies y le dirige una súplica: «Mi hija está a punto de morir; ven, impón tus manos sobre ella, para que se salve y viva». Jesús deja a la mitad su discurso y se pone en marcha con el hombre hacia su casa. La segunda escena acontece en el camino. Una mujer que sufría hemorragias se acerca a escondidas a Jesús para tocar su manto, y se siente curada. Mientras Jesús hablaba con ella, de la casa de Jairo llegan a decirle: «Tu hija ha muerto. ¿A qué molestar ya al Maestro?». Jesús, que ha oído todo, dice al jefe de la sinagoga: «No temas; solamente ten fe». Y he aquí la escena crucial, en la casa de Jairo. Gran confusión, gente que llora y grita, como es comprensible ante el fallecimiento recién ocurrido de una adolescente. «Entra y les dice: “¿Por qué alborotáis y lloráis? La niña no ha muerto; está dormida”. Él, después de echar fuera a todos, toma consigo al padre de la niña, a la madre y a los suyos, y entra donde estaba la niña. Y tomando la mano de la niña, le dice: “Talitá kum”, que quiere decir: “Muchacha, a ti te digo, levántate”. La mu-chacha se levantó al instante y se puso a andar; tenía doce años. Y les insistió mucho en que nadie lo supiera; y les dijo que le dieran a ella de comer». El pasaje de este domingo nos ofrece un ejemplo de este carácter histórico de los Evangelios. El nítido retrato de Jairo y su petición angustiosa de ayuda, el episodio de la mujer que se encuentran de camino a su casa, la actitud escéptica de los mensajeros hacia Jesús, la tenacidad de Cristo, el clima de la gente que llora a la niña muerta, el mandato de Jesús referido en la lengua original aramea, la conmovedora solicitud de Jesús de que se dé algo de comer a la niña resucitada. Todo hace pensar en un relato que remite a un testigo ocular del hecho. Ahora, una breve aplicación del Evangelio del domingo a la vida. No existe sólo la muerte del cuerpo, también está la muerte del corazón. La muerte del corazón existe cuando se vive en la angustia, en el desaliento o en una tristeza crónica. Las palabras de Jesús: Talitá kum, ¡muchacha, levántate!, no se diri-gen por tanto sólo a chicos y chicas muertos, sino también a chicos y chicas que viven. En este sentido Jesús sigue resucitando también hoy a chicas y chicos muertos. Lo hace con su palabra y también en-viándoles a sus discípulos, quienes, en Su nombre y con Su mis-mo amor, repiten a los jóvenes de hoy aquel grito Suyo: Talitá kum: ¡muchacho, levántate! Vuelve a vivir. Fr. Mayhel Velásquez.
