CHOOSE LIFE: The greatest destroyer of Saints Who Teach Us to Forgive
peace is abortion.–Mother Teresa (Nobel Peace Prize Lecture)
Saint George Preca
REFLECTION: You have heard people say Founder († 1962 )
that being wrong on abortion outweighs being right on
other issues, and that is correct. The full truth is, if you are A native of the Mediterranean island of
wrong on abortion, you can’t be right on other issues. To Malta, George was seventeen when a

up, many who fear God will gather
housing, education, health care, and peace is to say that around you. You will be a blessing for

Not very many years later, George, while

Children Are The Future - Dynamic Catholic—Feed Your Soul
In the 13th century, Frederick II wanted to test babies to discover what language they would speak if they never interact with adults, but only
with each other. Would it be Latin or Greek or some mystery language? So he had a group of infants quarantined, set aside from all adults
other than one person who silently changed their diapers and provided some food each day. And what he discovered was that that kind of
intense isolation caused children to die. Without the love of a mother or a caring adult, the children couldn't survive. It's clear children need
us. Children need caring adults. I mean, who even learned to tie your shoes without the help of a grown-up? And if children need our help for
something that simple, how in the world can we expect them to grow up as strong people of faith in this morally confused, spiritually warped
culture without the help of caring adults? And yet, I'm embarrassed to say I can't think of ever hearing a homily about how we help children,
not one. It's kind of remarkable. Isn't it? I mean, after all, when God became flesh, he came as a baby. He came as a child. He could have
stepped out of the heavens in some big, bold spark-flying way, coming down the ladder with the keys to heaven. But Jesus came as a baby.
And grown-up Jesus had a deep, deep, deep passion for kids. I mean, think about it, when he needed to feed 5000 people, who helped him
out? The little boy with the picnic lunch with some bread and fish. When Jesus was in the middle of something, what quickly altered his
schedule? A sick child or a child that folks thought had even died. Jesus stopped and he took care of children first. That's why gospel readings
like the one today are so important. Jesus teaches us yet again how valuable each child is. Think about what these gospel readings teach us.
Jesus welcomes children. People bring children to Jesus, hoping he'll touch them. The disciples rebuke them and say, "Jesus is busy with the
adults. He's got more important things to do." And J esus says, "Whoa, whoa. If you want to be great, welcome a child.”
For a lot of folks, children are a nuisance, a distraction. But for Jesus, it's just the opposite. He welcomes children. He also warns adults not to
harm children. Jesus is very clear that if you harm a child, you will face severe punishment. He says, "In fact, it would be better for you to
have a millstone tied around your neck and be thrown into the sea." He's ver y clear that we'r e called to car e for childr en. J esus even
gives the kingdom of God to children. He says, "Let the little children come to me. The Kingdom of God belongs to them." Children are
special to Jesus. Maybe because we have so much to learn from them. Maybe because children speak the truth. I think Jesus probably likes
that. Little Nancy wrote, "God, I bet it's very hard for you to love all of everybody in the world. There are only four people in my family, and
I can never do it." It just may be that the kingdom belongs to kids because they under stand God better than we adults do. And J esus
blesses children. He takes the children in his arms. He lays his hands on them, and He blesses them. In fact, the only time in scripture that
Jesus blesses someone is children. He treasures children. The message is clear, don't you think? God treasures us. And he wants a relationship
with each child. He wants what's best for each child right from the start. He wants them to have a solid foundation, not to have to wait till
they're adults to try to figure things out. Kids aren't an inconvenience. They're not an accessory. They're not here to entertain us or to be our
possessions. They're not here to make adults look good. They deserve more than leftovers from their parents, from the church, and
from the world. Consider the basic facts of how you and I develop as human beings. We'r e made in the image of God. Your mor al
and spiritual development begins at age 2. You begin learning right from wrong at age 2, and then you progress rapidly from there. By age 9,
your moral foundation is set. By age 12, your spiritual identity is largely set. What you believe about God, largely in place.
In other words, at 12, the greatest predictor for who you will be, morally and spiritually as an adult, is set. Pretty plain, isn't it? What you
create early on in the life of a child is the greatest determiner for how that child will behave as an adult. If you want to help shape the church
and the world, the best thing you can do, the most important thing you can do is provide deep, robust spiritual experiences for children ages
two through 12. It may be your children. It may be your grandchildren. It may be kids in your neighborhood. It may be a part of a parish
ministry. Introduce them to Jesus. Shape, their values when they're young and you will change the world. If you don't do that, the odds are
that we will spend the rest of our days doing repair work and damage control. Catherine has figured that out. She's a single woman. She's a
friend of mine. She has a two-year-old nephew. We'll call him Teddy. His parents call themselves secular Catholics. They don't go to church.
They have no relationship with the church. And they're not doing anything intentional to shape the spiritual life of their son, Teddy. So
Catherine is single and asked if she could drive each Sunday and pick Teddy up, take him to mass with her as a part of her day, and to build a
relationship with him. So each Sunday, she drives about 30 miles the other direction to pick up a two-year-old. Now, part of the benefit in his
life will be the time invested at the parish. But the real benefit will be the relationship that grows over time between him and his Aunt
Catherine, who cares and loves him enough to inconvenience herself, spend time in the car laughing with him, talking to him, listening to
him, perhaps talking about God over lunch so that slowly she helps build that foundation. In a note, she said to me, "I'm excited about the
seeds that God is planting in my nephew that could ultimately impact my sister and brother-in-law's relationship with Jesus and his
church.” Catherine's nephew, Teddy, he's in good hands. His moral and spiritual foundation are being set in place very well.
So let me just ask you a simple question. How will you shape the faith of a child in your life?
An Adult Faith Formation class is being offered to inject some clarity as to what it means to be Catholic,
why we attend Mass and what is available for each person who chooses attendance. The class will make it
abundantly clear there is nothing in the world like the Catholic Church.
Our Theme for the Class will be: “Deliver Us From Evil”
Please join us weekly, starting Thursday, September 23, from 6 to 7 pm,

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
Carolyn Heap, a
Sunday School
teacher, said to her
class of children,
“We have been
learning about
how powerful the
kings and queens
were in Biblical
times. But there is a higher power. Who can
tell me what it is?”
George
blurted
out,
“I know, Aces.”
FAITH IN ACTION—Week two: Following the pattern of St. Mother Theresa, we provide another opportunity for
members to speak boldly to power about corrupt changes that will take place in our lives if the deceptively named, Equality Act
is voted into law.
The Equality Act:
- Writes the ideology of gender into federal law, which dismisses biological sexual differences
and claims gender is a social construct.
- Forces religiously operated spaces such as church halls, to either host functions that violate
the beliefs of the members or to close their doors to all.
To leave a message for Senator Stabenow call 202 224-4822. Senator Peters call 202 224-6221. Again, it is most effective to
be polite, clear, brief. One option is, "Please vote NO on the Equality Act! It is a deceptive corrupt bill that violates our religious
rights, right to free speech, and freedom of assembly! I will be watching to see how you vote on this bill." "The Creator made us
male and female. It's a great design! Stop confusing our kids and feeding them into the highest suicide group in the world! The
transgender community loses a full 20 percent of its people to suicide! Twenty percent! I will be watching to see how you vote
on this bill!" Feel free to make up your own message. Thank you for fighting for our freedoms.
For a complete discussion of this bill go to: The Equality Act/USCCB.
If you see this young man around the Parish,
be sure to wish him a Happy Birthday!
He will be 70 on
Friday, September 25, 2021.
