“In the second reading today, St. Paul reminds the Corinthians, “There are different gifts, but the same Spirit; there are different ministries but the same Lord.” How am I using my gifts “for the common good”?

We must remember that violence breeds violence. When we, as a nation, tolerate unjust attacks upon the tiniest innocents among us by abortion we accustom ourselves to violence. And so we have allowed these barbaric practices to corrupt our laws, our medical practice, and even our ordinary lives…the inhumanity of abortion affects the lives of all of us.

The CATHOLIC BISHOPS OF THE US have published “Faithful Citizenship”. This is a statement encouraging Catholics to become informed on issues and candidates before voting. Following is a paragraph taken from this publication: WHAT DOES THE CHURCH SAY ABOUT CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE? “The Right to Life and the Dignity of the Human Person” Human life is sacred. Direct attacks on innocent human beings are never morally acceptable. Within our society, life is under direct attack from abortion, euthanasia, human cloning, and destruction of human embryos for research. These intrinsic evils must always be opposed. This teaching also compels us as Catholics to oppose genocide, torture, unjust war, and the use of the death penalty, as well as to pursue peace and help overcome poverty, racism, and other conditions that demean human life.
