14th Sunday in Ordinary Time July 5, 2020

Catholic Bishops’ Pro-Life Chairman Says Supreme Court

Decision Continues Cruel Precedent of Prioritizing Abortion Business Interests Over Women’s Health and

Safety June 29, 2020 WASHINGTON– Today, the Supreme Court of the United States announced its decision in an abortion case out of Louisiana, June Medical Services v. Russo. The Court ruled 5 to 4 to strike down the Louisiana law that requires abortion doctors to have hospital admitting privileges. Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City in Kansas and chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB)

Committee for Pro-Life Activities issued the following statement: “Abortion violently ends the life of a child, and often severely harms women. Abortion becomes even more destructive when basic health and safety standards are ignored, and profit margins are prioritized over women’s lives. As Catholics, we

condemn abortion as a grave injustice that denies the fundamental human right to life. Yet even as we seek to end the brutality of legalized abortion, we still believe that the women who seek it should not be further harmed and abused by a callous, profit-driven industry. “The Court’s failure to recognize the legitimacy of laws prioritizing women’s health and safety over abortion business

interests continues a cruel precedent. As we grieve this decision and the pregnant women who will be harmed by it, we continue to pray and fight for justice for mothers and children. “We will not rest until the day when the Supreme Court

corrects the grave injustice of Roe and Casey and recognizes the Constitutional right to life for unborn human beings. And we continue to ask all people of faith to pray for women seeking abortion, often under enormous pressure, that they will find alternatives that truly value them and the lives of their children.” The USCCB filed an amicus curae brief in the case along with the Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Association of Evangelicals urging the Court to uphold the law. The brief can be viewed here: http://www.usccb.org/about/general-counsel/amicus-briefs/upload/18-1323-USCCB-amicus-June-Med-v-Gee-12-30-2019.pdf

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Have a very happy and safe July 4th weekend as you celebrate our Independence Day. God bless and keep you all!

SANCTUARY LAMP: The Sanctuary Lamp burns continuously to remind us that Jesus is present in the Tabernacle. It is a mark of honor to remind the faithful of the presence of Christ, and is a profession of our love and affection. If you wish to have the Sanctuary Lamp burning in memory of a loved one, to honor a special occasion, or a special intention make arrangements with the office.

The Commemoration for the week of July 5: **Robert & Kay Corwin†**

You are the rock on which this nation was founded. You alone are the true source of our cherished rights to life, liberty, and

the pursuit of happiness.

Reclaim this land for your glory and dwell among your people. Send your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation’s

Remind your people that true happiness is rooted in seeking

and doing your will. Amen.

“Brothers and sisters, let us strive to follow the lead of Jesus and be formed by the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. As we celebrate Independence Day, let us, throughout the month of July, give thanks to God for the gift of freedom and religious liberty. Let us pray for healing during this time of division within our nation.” ~Bishop Myron Cotta

SAINT OF THE MONTH St. Thomas, Apostle of Christ

Also known as “Doubting Thomas” as he questioned if Jesus truly

rose from the dead but would later be convinced when he comes face-to-face with the Lord once again and examines His wounds by placing his fingers into the nail marks of his hands and side. “Unless

I see the mark of the nails in His hands and put my finger into the nail marks, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” Luke

20:25.

Patron Saint of the Blind (spiritual blindness), Craftsmen (e.g. architects, carpenters), and Theologians.

Little is known of the Saint and his life before and after he became a follower of Christ but what has been documented is his missionary activity in India where his works are still heavily recognized and where he built several Catholic churches.

Martyr of the church – he was stabbed with a spear in India during time of prayer on Mount Chennai in 72 AD.
