Dear Friends in Christ,

On the 22nd of January, once again, Pro-lifers will travel to Washington, D.C. to the

annual March for Life. Sadly, another year has passed where we must go to our nation’s

capital to witness against the forces that continue to defend the right to take the life of a child in the womb.

Recently, Reuters printed an absurd headline: “Pope in nod to conservatives, calls abortion ‘horrific.”” The

article went on to say, “His [Pope Francis] stance favoring mercy over condemnation has disoriented

conservative Catholics.” Really, this pope is anything but political! Pope Francis has defended life in very

strong ways, calling the face of the child in the womb the face of Jesus and mandating a converted

abortionist to go and proclaim life after the doctor placed his instruments of death in the Holy Father’s

hands. Pope Francis states in his apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, “Among the vulnerable for

whom the Church wishes to care with particular love and concern are unborn children, the most defenseless

and innocent among us. Nowadays efforts are made to deny them their human dignity and to do with them

whatever one pleases, taking their lives and passing laws preventing anyone from standing in the way of this.

Frequently, as a way of ridiculing the Church’s effort to defend their lives, attempts are made to present her

position as ideological, obscurantist and conservative. Yet this defense of unborn life is closely linked to the

defense of each and every other human right…Precisely because this involves the internal consistency of our

message about the value of the human person, the Church cannot be expected to change her position on this

question. I want to be completely honest in this regard. This is not something subject to alleged reforms or

‘modernizations’. It is not ‘progressive’ to try to resolve problems by eliminating a human life.’” Pope

Francis continues the Church’s unbroken defense of all human life and he reminds us of the fact that God

said, “Thou shall not kill.”

God bless you,

Father Szolack

Family Prayer Crucifix for Vocations

Every Sunday at 10 AM Mass, we will see a

family receive a Crucifix to take home for the

week to pray for vocations to the Holy

Priesthood and Religious Life. It is con-

tained in a beautiful handcrafted box which also serves

as a stand for the Crucifix. Prayers to be used by the

host family are on a laminated program in the box. Eve-

ry weekend the host family will return the Crucifix in

procession. A new host family will receive it at the end

of Mass. Sister Vilma is the crucifix for vocations coor-

dinator. Let us pray for holy vocations to religious life

from our parish. If you are praying over a possible call-

ing, please speak to Father Szolack.

A Prayer for Priests

Keep the, I pray Thee, dearest Lord, keep them, for they

are Thine-- Thy priests whose lives burn out before Thy

consecrated shrine.

Keep them for they are in the world though from the

world apart, when earthly pleasures tempt, allure, --

shelter them in Thy heart.

Keep them and comfort them in hours, of loneliness and

pain, when all their life of sacrifice for souls seems but

in vain.

Keep them, and O remember Lord, they have no one but

Thee, yet they have only human hearts with human frail-

ty.

Keep them as spotless as the Host, -- that daily, they

caress -- their every thought and word and deed deign,

dearest Lord, to bless.
