We must pray and pray aggressively for The landmark Supreme Court decision of casually without reference to its very real power. an end to abortion for true justice in our nation Roe v Wade unleashed a tidal wave of abortion The forces of evil are clearly at work in the and for women and children in crisis. in the United States.

In the face of so great an evil, we need to Again, there are current efforts around the lives of millions of unborn children have unleash renewed waves of prayer—invoking the our nation which have the potential to end a been terminated. When one considers the Holy Spirit upon the people of our nation and profound moral evil. Now is a time for renewed ramifications of so many lost lives, it is almost most especially upon our judges and legislators. energies on our part. I believe that we must impossible to believe that a nation as great as Prayer is powerful and it will make the blend together three critical tools: an intensity of ours has permitted this moral evil for so long. difference. Too, we don’t pray instead of taking prayer, renewed efforts in the political world, and As many who follow the politics of our day are action. Rather, the two are profoundly connected. generous service of suffering women and their aware, several states have recently passed very Indeed, it is oftentimes prayer that unleashes the children. The stakes are critical, the potential strict pro-life laws which will greatly reduce Spirit within us so that God - working through immense and our call to be a part of righting this abortions. These state laws are soon to be us - can bring about His will in our world. From profound evil is clear. challenged in appellate courts and quite probably this vantage point, prayer is not incidental; it is the US Supreme Court. I cannot help but believe that we are drawing nearer to reversing this Brothers Mass moral catastrophe. How we proceed from here is crucial and I would offer the following three points for guidance. The first is that we must keep the light focused on what abortion does to the unborn child and the life it terminates. This truth, which is based upon science, medicine and reason, is all too often kept in the dark by the pro-abortion world. However, even as we keep the light focused on the child in the womb, we likewise cannot fail to acknowledge and respond to the crises in which so many pregnant women find themselves. While stopping abortion is a moral imperative, the followers of Jesus Christ will recognize His face in the face of every pregnant woman suffering from poverty, fear, abuse or abandonment. Saving the lives of infants is critical, but we likewise must do all we can to make it possible Catholic Outlook photo by Clayton Nickel for women to keep and care for their children. Bishop Edward J. Weisenburger (center) celebrated Mass with religious brothers in Sts. Peter and Paul Legislation, political decisions and government Parish in Tucson April 29 in honor of Religious Brothers’ Day. Among those joining the bishop for a meal policies that compound and further aggravate after Mass are from left, are Brothers Peter Boegel, Jesus Lara, Jeffrey St. George, Silas Henderson, Martin Vu, Robert Brady and Jack Henderson. Brothers Boegel and Brady are ; Brothers Lara, Vu and the lives of poor and suffering women can be Jack Henderson are Christian Brothers; and Brothers St. George and Silas Henderson are . a powerful incentive to push them through the abortion clinic doors. Again, even as we keep the light focused on the devastation of an unborn child’s life, we cannot afford to narrow our vision and refuse to see the suffering of their mothers and many times their older siblings. For this reason, I am especially grateful and strongly supportive of those charitable organizations that serve poor and needy pregnant women as well as women struggling to care for their children. The second is that Catholics are called to be full members of our communities and that includes the political realm. We have a right and an obligation to bring our values into our local communities as well as our individual states, our nation and the global community. Catholics have a crucial role to be salt for the earth and Please be generous, July 20-21 a light for the world. We are never authentic to the when we ignore or run from the world. Informing our legislators, as well as how we vote, matter deeply. The Gospel is quite clear: Our goal is heaven but our task for today is to dig deeply into daily life and to be a part of building a land of justice and peace today. We can never abandon our citizenship or our stewardship for God’s created world. The final point is prayer, and it is perhaps the most significant of our efforts.

It also includes a Promise of Obedience, (1) which Bishop Weisenburger elicits, to the bishop and his successors. That is followed by an Invitation to Prayer (3), in which Deacon Haros-Mendez lies prostrate in front of the as those gathered pray “The Litany of the Saints.” The bishop and gathered priests individually lay their hands upon him, petitioning the intercession of the Holy Spirit (cover photo). The prayer of ordination is recited and the new priest vests in stole and chasuble. The bishop anoints Father Haros- Mendez’s hands and presents him with his chalice and paten. The rite concludes with the fraternal kiss of peace, (5) including one from retiring Vocations director for Seminarians Msgr. Albert Schifano. Before Mass, Deacon Haros-Mendez enjoyed the company of a friend, (4) Deacon Ivan Montelongo from the Diocese of El Paso, Texas.
