9 Monday
Blessed Pope John Paul II often warned the world
of the culture of death and worked hard to promote a
culture of life. I wish to join him in that work by opening up
to you what the culture of death looks like. To start with, I
will explain to you a sad situation involving a Planned
Parenthood sponsored abortion clinic in Philadelphia where
Kermit Gosnell, an abortionist, was arrested on February
18th 2010 at his clinic: the Women's Medical Society.
Police found 45 mutilated bodies of dead babies in
containers and plastic bags in freezers, and other severed
fetal parts on shelves and in cupboards throughout the
clinic which performed late term abortions on babies in the
womb longer than 24 weeks.
Late-term "abortions" are performed by inducing
labor. The result is a living, crying, squawking, breathing,
moving baby. By 24 weeks, most babies born prematurely
will survive if they receive appropriate medical care. But
that was not what the Women's Medical Society was about.
Instead, Gosnell killed the babies he delivered: all of the
births were live births. He called it "ensuring fetal demise."
The way he ensured fetal demise was by cutting the spinal
cord in the back of the living baby’s neck with a scissors.
He called that "snipping." Sometimes, the "snipping" was
done by one of his fake doctors, or even by one of the
administrative staff.
Gosnell destroyed most of the files, but among the
relatively few cases that could be specifically documented
was a baby boy whose mother was almost 30 weeks
pregnant -- seven and a half months -- when labor was
induced. An employee estimated his birth weight as
approaching six pounds. He was breathing and moving
when Gosnell severed his spine and put the body in a
plastic shoebox for disposal. The doctor joked that this baby
was so big he could "walk me to the bus stop." Another
baby boy, whose body was found at the clinic frozen in a
one-gallon spring-water bottle, was at least 28 weeks of
gestational age when he was killed. And “Baby C” lived for
20 minutes before an assistant came in and cut the spinal
cord, just the way she had seen Gosnell do it so many times.
And these were not even the worst cases.
These are not rare instances my friends. This is
what we call abortion. There are 4,400 of them in our
country each day. It is the killing of a baby. It is horrific,

Prayer to End Abortion
Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my
life, and for the lives of all my brothers and sisters. I know
there is nothing that destroys more life than abortions, yet
I rejoice that you have conquered death by the
Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in
ending abortions. Today I commit myself never to be
silent, never to be passive, never to be forgetful of the
unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life
movement, and never to stop defending life untill all my
brothers and sisters are protected, and our nation once
again becomes a nation with liberty and justice, not just
for some, but for all. Through Christ our Lord. Amen!

solution. Catholic Charities reaches out to women in a

information line to help and support women to choose life
for their baby. Catholic Charities’ locations:
Mankato 507-387-5586 & Worthington 507-376-9757
Hablar del grupo de oración, es hablar de los ministerios de
Música: “Manantial de vida” y “Apocalipsis 3:20” son el
corazón de este grupo de oración, a través de ellos, el
Espíritu Santo, se manifiesta en la predicación, en los
cantos y en el avivamiento de cada oración.
Hermanos: El Señor nos invita todos los domingos a las
4:00 p.m. a compartir como familia este momento de fe.
¿Si estás cansado, descansa con Dios en la oración? ¿Si
estás triste, habla con Dios en la oración? ¿Si tienes
problemas, desahógate con Dios en la oración?

Solo en Dios encontraremos consuelo, solo en Dios

cruel, and barbaric: evil. Severing the spinal cord or
dismembering, our chemically removing a baby from a
mother’s womb is murder: a grave sin. This is not the way
to build a culture of life.

“ANIVERSARIO DEL GRUPO DE ORACIÓN NUEVA
ALIANZA”
Elevamos una acción de gracias a Dios por este “bello”
grupo de oración ¡NUEVA ALIANZA! Ha sido una
bendición para la comunidad de Saint James contar con
este puente espiritual que nos acerca más a Dios.
La oración es el “puente” que nos comunica con Dios; a
través de ella tenemos la oportunidad de hablar con nuestro
Creador, de contarle nuestras penas y también compartirle
nuestras alegrías.
Esta bendición llegó a nuestra parroquia, gracias a los
hermanos de “GUATEMALA” a ellos les debemos que el
grupo de oración “Nueva Alianza” nos animen todos los
domingos en la tarde.
Ha sido un esfuerzo grande que ellos han hecho, para que
Que la Virgen del Rosario nos acompañe y bendiga en este
nuevo mes.
Los quiero, reciban mi bendición y no se les olvide orar por
mí.
