Kaitlyn Gonzalez Austen Petrie Samantha Medellin Casey Hongsermeier Jeri Hopper Daniela Rojas Itzely Garcia Will Sharp Glyna Johnson Wesley Harris Pamela Yurchevich Crystal Ramirez Mike Thornhill Casey Smith Frank Morales Gerardo Flores Taylor Garcia Jesse Villarreal Raul Hernandez Noriega Daniel Gaitan Osval Perez Kevin Jovel Natasha Rizwan Our Little Victims Are Americans Years ago, the Nazi regime in Germany committed terrible atrocities in the concentration camps, killing six million Jews and non-Jews. Today in Africa there are terrible atrocities going on in Darfur by the leaders in Sudan, and over 70,000 people have been reported dead so far. And in 1994 there was a ‘blood bath’ in Rwanda. We are appalled by the genocides of the past and present in other countries. What about the terrible atrocities going on in abortion clinics? Why can’t we wake up to the genocide of our unborn here in the United States? Our own government is guilty of the slaughter of over 62 million babies since Roe vs. Wade legalized abortion in 1973. We should hang our heads in shame! These ‘victims’ are helpless innocents and this ‘slaughter’ is far greater than all other atrocities combined and the little ‘victims’ are Americans. If only we could surround the little unborn babies with our love and compassion and put an end to abortion, what a better world this would be. Ruth Weber Davenport Iowa Nuestros Queriditos Víctimas Son Estadounidenses. Hace muchos años, los nazi en Alemania perpetraron atrocidades en los cárceles, matando a mas que seis millones de judíos y no-judíos. Hoy en día, en África igualmente se perpetran atrocidades en Darfur por los líderes del Sudan, y según los reportajes ya murieron mas que 40 miles de personas. Y en el 1994 ocurrió el ‘baño de sangre’ en Rwanda. Por supuesto nos espantamos por los genocidios del pasado y del presente en los demás países. Pero, ¿Qué decimos sobre las atrocidades terribles que se perpetran en las clínicas del aborto? Por qué no nos despertamos al genocidio de nuestros no-nacidos aquí en los EE. UU.? Desde la legalización del aborto en el 1973 por la decisión Roe v Wade nuestro propio gobierno está culpable de la matanza de mas que 62 millones de niños. ¡Debemos sentir una vergüenza inmensa! Estos ‘víctimas’ son inocentes indefensos, y esta ‘matanza’ es mucho más allá de todas las demás atrocidades combinadas y esto pequeños ‘víctimas’ son americanos. Ruth Weber Davenport Iowa

~In the School of Mary~ (The Lay Members of Christ’s Faithful People) POST-SYNODAL Published 12.30.1988: St. John Paul II

PART I: I Am the Vine and You Are the Branches: The Dignity of the Lay Faithful in the Church as Mystery. From a particular perspective the vine serves to express the Mystery of the People of God. From an internal point of view the lay faithful are seen not simply as laborers who work in the vineyard but also as themselves being a part of the vineyard. In the Old Testament the prophets used images of the vine to describe the chosen people. Jesus himself used the vine as a symbol to illustrate various aspects of the Kingdom of God. John, the Evangelist, uses the vine not only as the people of God but as Jesus himself. Drawing on Scripture, Vatican Council II also used the image of the vine and the branches. Christ is the true vine who gives life to the branches. The Church, then, is the vine in the Gospel. She is the gift of the Trinity freely offered to all those born of water and the Holy Spirit and called to live the very communion of God, to manifest it and communicate it in history. John Paul emphasizes that only from inside the Church’s mystery of communion is the “identity” of the lay faithful made known and their fundamental dignity revealed. It is also from within this context that their mission is defined.

Who are the Lay Faithful? The Synod Fathers pointed out that the lay faithful’s vocation must be defined in positive terms. The Second Vatican Council had insisted on the unique character of their vocation: to seek the Kingdom of God by engaging in temporal affairs, ordering them to the plan of God. The Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium understood the lay faithful to mean all the faithful except those in Holy Orders and those who belonged to a religious state. Through Baptism the lay faithful are made one body with Christ. Pope Pius XII once stated that the lay faithful find themselves on the front lines of the Church’s life. They, therefore, ought to have a much clearer consciousness not only of belonging to the Church, but of being the Church. They are the community of faithful on earth under the leadership of the Pope, the head of all, and of the Bishops in communion with him. These are the Church. The Holy Father tells us that according to the biblical image of the vineyard, the lay faithful, together with all the other members of the Church, are branches engrafted to Christ the true vine and from him derive their life and fruitfulness. It becomes evident that incorporation into Christ through faith and Baptism is the source of being a Christian in the mystery of the Church. This mystery constitutes the Christian’s most basic features, and it is only from here that we can come to a basic description of the lay faithful.
