There will be no confessions nor Mass on Wednesday evening. PARISH OFFICE CLOSED The office will be closed Monday, January 19 in observance of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It will open Tuesday at 1 pm PASTOR’S CORNER A personal note from St. John Paul II “…to women who have had an abortion. The Church is aware of the many factors which may have influenced your decision, and she does not doubt that in many cases it was a painful and even shattering decision. The wound in your heart may not yet have healed. Certainly what happened was and remains terribly wrong. But do not give in to discouragement and do not lose hope. Try rather to understand what happened and face it honestly. If you have not already done so, give yourselves over with humility and trust to repentance. The Father of mercies is ready to give you his forgiveness and peace in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. You will come to understand that nothing is definitively lost and you will also be able to ask forgiveness from your child who is now living in the Lord. …As a result of your own painful experience, you can be among the most eloquent defenders of everyone’s right to life.” (Please contact The Rachel’s Vineyard Ministry in the Diocese of Fresno for healing after an abortion for mothers and fathers, relatives and friends. 1-877-467-3463.) On January 22, the 42nd anniversary of the infamous Roe vs. Wade decision will be upon us. We must face the grim reality that a few decades of state sponsored legalized abortion, in our nation and in many other nations throughout the world, have caused more deaths for the most innocent and defenseless human beings on our planet, than all the deaths from all the wars and crimes in human history combined. It’s unimaginable! It is a Satanic/human evil that hides and thrives behind a curtain of silence. What can I do to break the silence and dispel the darkness of this horrendous evil that is going on all around us? I must pray, fast, witness, get involved! Courage is the willingness to sustain a wound in defense of the good, the true and the beautiful. Life is Beautiful! COURAGE! What we do to protect, nurture and heal those who are affected by the evil of abortion, we do to Jesus Christ. Support the West Coast Walk for Life on January 24.

La Iglesia está consciente de los numerosos factores que influyeron en su decision, y no duda que en muchos de los casos fué una decision dolorosa e incluso dramatica. La herida en su corazón aún no ha cicatrizado. Ciertamente lo que pasó fue y sigue siendo terriblemente malo. Pero no te dejes vencer por el desaliento y no pierdas la esperanza. Trata mejor de entender lo que pasó y enfrentalo honestamente. Si aún no lo han hecho, entreguense con humildad y confien en el arrepentimiento. El Padre de las misericordias está listo para ofrecer su perdón y paz en el Sacramento de la Reconciliación. Te darás cuenta de que nada esta perdido y podrás también pedir perdón a tu hijo que ahora vive en el Señor. ...Como resultado de su propia experiencia dolorosa, puede estar entre los defensores más elocuentes del derecho de todos a la vida." ( Por favor comuniquese con el Ministerio del Viñedo de Raquel en la Diocesis de Fresno para saber como sanar después de un aborto para las madres y padres, familiares y amigos. Telefono: 1-877-467-3463.) El 22 de Enero, es el 42 aniversario del infame fallo Roe vs Wade. Debemos enfrentar la cruda realidad de que unas cuantas decenas de estados patrocinaron la legalización del aborto, en nuestro país y en muchas otras naciones en todo el mundo, han causado más muertes a los más inocentes e indefensos seres humanos en nuestro planeta, que todas las muertes de todas las guerras y crimenes de la historia humana en combinación . ¡Es inimaginable! Es un mal Satánico y humano que se esconde y prospera detrás de una cortina de silencio. ¿Qué puedo hacer para romper el silencio y disipar la oscuridad de este horrendo mal que se está produciendo alrededor de nosotros? ¡Debo orar, ayunar, ser testigo e involucrarme! El coraje es la voluntad de mantener una herida en defensa del bien, la verdad y la belleza. ¡La Vida es Hermosa! ¡CORAJE! Lo que hacemos para proteger, nutrir y sanar a los que se ven afectados por el mal del aborto, lo hacemos a Jesucristo. Apoyemos a la Costa Oeste en la Caminata por la Vida el 24 de Enero.
