Para contribuir a go online to: https://www.missio.org/explore.aspx una causa específica, visite: https://www.missio.org/explore.aspx Lest We Forget There was an interesting B.C. cartoon in the newspaper on May 5. Two little men were talking - one said ‘Show me an animal that eats its young’ and the other man says ‘and I’ll show you an endangered species.’ Think about it! We have allowed over 62 million babies to be murdered. We have lost approximately one third of our younger generation because of abortion. Why do you think there is a shortage of nurses, teachers, etc.? Also, a May 5 article about a Holocaust survivor had some wonderful quotes by Mr. Steve Goebel from St. Ambrose University. He stated “…that human life is sacred. We remember the horrible suffering inflicted upon Holocaust victims…their families…to work for justice and to respect one another as children of God.” Then why do we ignore the plight of the unborn? They suffer when they are aborted. Their mothers suffer anguish mentally, emotionally and physically. Our justice system does not show respect for these little ones. And yes, they, too, are children of God. Abortion is a horrible holocaust - an on-going holocaust - one we need to put to an end. People say we should never forget the Holocaust. I say that we already have since it is happening every day. It’s a Holocaust of the Little Innocents. We have forgotten our little ones. Ruth Weber Davenport Iowa Que no se nos Olvide Había una interesante caricatura de “B.C.” en el periódico el 5 de Mayo. Dos pequeños hombres estaban conversando – uno de ellos dijo ‘Muéstrame un animal que coma sus crias’ y el otro dice ‘y te mostrare una especie en peligro de extinción.’ ¡Piénsalo! Hemos permitido el homicidio de mas de 62 millones de bebés. Hemos perdido aproximadamente un tercio de nuestra generación mas joven debido al aborto. ¿Por qué crees que hay escasez de enfermeros, profesores, etc.? También un artículo acerca de un sobreviviente del Holocausto tenía algunas citas maravillosas del Sr. Steve Goebel de la Universidad “St. Ambrose”. Él decía “…que la vida humana es sagrada. Recordamos el terrible sufrimiento causado a las victimas del Holocausto…sus familias… trabajar por la justicia y respetarnos unos a otros como hijos de Dios.” ¿Por qué entonces ignoramos la difícil situación de los no nacidos? Ellos sufren al ser abortados. Sus madres sufren angustia mental, emocional y físicamente. Nuestro sistema judicial no muestra respeto por estos pequeños. Y si, ellos también son hijos de Dios. El aborto es un horrible holocausto – un holocausto continuo – uno al cual debemos poner fin. La gente dice que nunca debemos olvidar el Holocausto. Yo digo que ya lo hemos olvidado puesto que está ocurriendo día con día. Es el Holocausto de los pequeños inocentes. Hemos olvidado a nuestros pequeños. Ruth Weber Davenport Iowa

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

The Human Person: A Dignity Violated and Exalted John Paul II begins this segment by noting that when the human person is not recognized in his dignity as the living image of God (cf Gen 1:26) the individual is exposed to every kind of degrading form of manipulation. Those who are “the stronger” exert their influence coming in the forms of systems of political and economic power, scientific technocracy, and an intrusive mass-media. The Pope continues by recounting the many indignities suffered and, even worse, the forms of personal annihilation such as the killing of the unborn. Nevertheless, the sacredness of the human person cannot be obliterated despite devaluation. For it has its unshakable foundation in God. This sacredness resurfaces again and again. The sense of the dignity of the human person must be reaffirmed in stronger terms. The Holy Father points to the hopeful sign that there is a growing awareness that the person is not a “thing” but a responsible “subject” endowed with conscience and freedom. This “subject” is oriented as well towards spiritual and religious values. It is said that this era is one of humanism. However, some of its secular forms on the one hand diminish and annihilate the human person while on the other hand elevate the individual to a status of real idolatry. There are other forms, however, that are in line with the truth so that they promote a sense of human “participation” especially where women and young people are concerned. To create a truly humane culture requires the participation of both the individual and people as a whole. As never before in history, humanity is buffeted by conflict. This opposition takes various forms of violence. Diverse sectors of society exert their “omnipotence” in attempts to reconstruct the “Tower of Babel”. The human family is in itself convulsed. Yet, there is that longing for the good of peace and justice. Entire populations today live, suffer and labor to bring this about. Despite the negativity, this participation grows increasingly day-by-day. Jesus Christ, the Hope of Humanity John Paul II tells us that this is the “vineyard” that stands before the “laborers” who have been sent by the “householder”. The previously mentioned adverse conditions deeply affect the Church but they do not crush her. Nor do they overcome her because of the presence of the Holy Spirit who sustains her life. In spite of the fallen condition of humanity and the presence of the Evil One, the Church knows the answer to the problem to be her Savior, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of man. Jesus Christ himself is the “good news” and the bearer of joy that the Church announces each day.
