Prayer for the Month: Prayer for Victims of Abortion
Lord Jesus Christ, You took our human nature upon
Yourself. You shared our life and death, our childhood and
adulthood.
You also shared our time in the womb. While still God,
while worshipped and adored by the angels, while Almighty
and filling every part of the universe, You dwelt for nine
months in the womb of Mary. You were our Redeemer in the
womb, our God who has a preborn child.
Lord Jesus, we ask You to bless and protect the children who
today are in their mothers’ womb. Save them from the
danger of abortion. Give their mothers the grace to sacrifice
themselves, in body and soul, for their children. Help all
people to recognize in the preborn child a brother, a sister,
saved by You, our Redeemer in the womb.
Job Opening: Administrative Position
The parish is currently looking for an administrative
assistant. Time commitment will be 15 hours per week.
This is a paid position. Please contact Father Paul if

Catholic Tidbits Excerpt from “Ingruentium Malorum” ENCYCLICAL OF
POPE PIUS XII - Promulgated September 15, 1951
(…) at present, We do not lack reasons for profound sorrow
which torment and sadden Our paternal heart.
4. You know well, Venerable Brethren, the calamitous
conditions of our times. Fraternal harmony among nations,
shattered for so long a time, has not yet been re-established
everywhere. On the contrary, here and there, we see souls
upset by hatred and rivalry, while threats of new bloody
conflicts still hover over the peoples. To this, one must add
the violent storm of persecution, which in many parts of the
world, has been unleashed against the Church, depriving it
of its liberty, saddening it very cruelly with calumnies and
miseries of all kinds, and making the blood of martyrs flow
again and again.
5. To what and to how many snares are the souls of so many
of Our sons submitted in those areas to make them reject the
Faith of their fathers, and to make them break, most
wretchedly, the bond of union which links them to this
Apostolic See! Nor can We pass over in silence a new crime
to which, with utmost sorrow, We want earnestly to draw
not only your attention, but the attention of the clergy, of
parents, and even of public authorities. We refer to the
iniquitous campaign that the impious lead everywhere to
harm the shining souls of children. Not even the age of
innocence has been spared, for, alas, there are not lacking
those who boldly dare to snatch from the mystical garden of
the Church even the most beautiful flowers, which constitute
the hope of religion and society. Considering this, one
cannot be surprised if peoples groan under the weight of the
Divine punishment, and live under the fear of even greater
calamities.
6. However, consideration of a situation so pregnant with
dangers must not depress your souls, Venerable Brethren.
Instead, mindful of that Divine teaching: "Ask and it shall be
given to you; seek and you shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened to you" (Luke 11, 9), fly with greater confidence to
the Mother of God. There, the Christian people have always
sought chief refuge in the hour of danger, because "she has
been constituted the cause of salvation for the whole human
race" (St. Irenaeus).
7. Therefore, we look forward with joyful expectation and
revived hope to the coming month of October, during which
the faithful are accustomed to flock in larger numbers to the
churches to raise their supplications to Mary by means of the
Holy Rosary.
8. (…) We well know the Rosary's powerful efficacy to
obtain the maternal aid of the Virgin. By no means is there
only one way to pray to obtain this aid. However, We
consider the Holy Rosary the most convenient and most
fruitful means, as is clearly suggested by the very origin of
this practice, heavenly rather than human, and by its nature.
What prayers are better adapted and more beautiful than the
Lord's prayer and the angelic salutation, which are the
flowers with which this mystical crown is formed? With
meditation of the Sacred Mysteries added to the vocal
prayers, there emerges another very great advantage, so that
all, even the most simple and least educated, have in this a
prompt and easy way to nourish and preserve their own
faith. (…)
13. (…) We affirm that the custom of the family recitation of
the Holy Rosary is a most efficacious means. What a sweet
sight-----most pleasing to God-----when, at eventide, the
Christian home resounds with the frequent repetition of
praises in honor of the august Queen of Heaven! Then the
Rosary, recited in common, assembles before the image of
the Virgin, in an admirable union of hearts, the parents and
their children, who come back from their daily work. It
unites them piously with those absent and those dead. It
links all more tightly in a sweet bond of love, with the most
Holy Virgin, who, like a loving mother, in the circle of her
children, will be there bestowing upon them an abundance
of the gifts of concord and family peace.
14. Then the home of the Christian family, like that of
Nazareth, will become an earthly abode of sanctity, and, so
to speak, a sacred temple, where the Holy Rosary will not
only be the particular prayer which every day rises to
heaven in an odor of sweetness, but will also form the most
efficacious school of Christian discipline and Christian
virtue.

The White Ribbon Against Pornography (WRAP) campaign, begun in 1987, brings people together to promote awareness and tackle the societal harms of
pornography. This year’s WRAP Week runs from Oct. 27 to Nov. 3.
Pornography is big business. It is aggressive, savvy and available online for free in content to lure new users, marketing to both males and females. As Americans, we are immersed in media and the exposure to pornography. There is a dangerous addiction to pornography; the brains of those addicted to it are triggered much like that of people with drug or alcohol addictions. As with any addiction, recovery is a long and challenging process, and help is needed to regain freedom from it.
Here are four ways you can participate in the WRAP campaign:
1. Wear a white ribbon; it’s a great conversation starter.2. Talk to your children and grandchildren about
pornography and its harms.3. Politely make complaints to businesses that distribute
or advertise pornography and obscene material.4. Pray and fast that God would heal those harmed
by pornography and struggling with compulsive pornography use.
— Terri McCormack is marriage and family coordinator for the Diocese of Burlington.

10|24 THURSDAYSeries: What is Catholicism? — “Abraham”Ascension Church, Georgia • 7 - 8:30 pm
Each Thursday through April 2020, Ascension Church will be hosting a talk exploring some topic of the Catholic faith. Lectures are low stress and designed for both the person who knows nothing as well as the person who knows quite a lot. Lectures will be around 40-50 minutes. There will be time for questions and fellowship afterwards. Talks will be given by Anthony Rosselli, PhD candidate. Moses’ story is one of the Old Testament’s most fascinating and memora-ble. The burning bush; the ten plagues; the flight through the Red Sea. These stories have even found their way into Hollywood depictions. But what did the ancient Jews and Christians think these stories meant? What did God mean when he bizarrely told Moses his name was “I AM”? What are we to make of these famous plagues?
