My dear family of St. Andrew the Apostle!
On this Respect Life Sunday, we are still just beginning to appreciate all the many ways Pope
Francis’s historic visit to the United States has inspired our nation. He is a constant and faithful witness
toward a greater commitment to the flourishing of all of creation through respect for the dignity of the human person,
especially the most vulnerable among us, including the unborn. Pope Francis spoke to all of us as he spoke to the
Bishops of our country in these words: “The innocent victim of abortion, children who die of hunger or from bombings,
immigrants who drown in the search for a better tomorrow, the elderly or the sick who are considered a burden, the
victims of terrorism, wars, violence and drug trafficking, the environment devastated by man’s predatory relationship
with nature – at stake in all of this is the gift of God, of which we are noble stewards but not masters. It is wrong, then,
to look the other way or to remain silent.”
We cannot remain silent to the plight of the most vulnerable among us, the unborn, and their precious mothers
and fathers. We are called to pray, to educate ourselves and others, and then to advocate as God calls each one of us
in some way. Praying or sidewalk counseling at our local abortion clinic is one way, promoting, volunteering and
supporting our local Pro-Life Pregnancy Resource Center, Women’s Choice Services, through Baby Bottles or being
a Project Gabriel angel in active support to pregnant mothers is another way. Speaking up against the funding of
Planned Parenthood and the gruesome practices of actually selling baby/fetal parts after the abortions they perform
is yet another way. We begin by prayer and informing ourselves, through the excellent resources that our Bishops
provide at usccb.org, or through PriestsForLife.org, or through ILCatholic.org — then we move and speak.
Whether it lasts for a brief moment or for a hundred years, each of our lives is a good
and perfect gift. At every stage and in every circumstance, we are held in existence by God’s
love. Jesus is with us every step of the way, giving us the grace we need. Every life is worth
living. How is God calling you to receive, share and live this most basic message of the worth
of every single human life? Let me simply repeat the Holy Father’s words again: “at stake in
all of this is the gift of God, of which we are noble stewards but not masters. It is wrong, then,
to look the other way or to remain silent.” Let our voice be strong, as we His children follow
and echo the voice of the Master Jesus, the Gift of God’s life and love for us and for the
whole world!
In the loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Fr. Gregor
The Little Saint of Great Mercy - Pilgrimage of the major relics of St. Maria Goretti
Thursday, October 15 from 10am to 11pm - St. Mary Immaculate Parish, Plainfield
While St. Maria is universally known as the Patroness of Purity, her greatest virtue was her
unyielding forgiveness of her attacker even in the midst of horrendous physical suffering, a
forgiveness that would completely convert him and set him on a path to personal holiness.
In March 2015, His Holiness, Pope Francis, announced an Extraordinary Holy Year of Mercy
beginning December 8, 2015. This visit of the major relics of St. Maria Goretti is an effort on
the part of the Holy See and Treasures of the Church to prepare and catechize the United States for
this great celebration in the life of the Church. We are blessed to have our parish be one of
the stops on this visit!
Maria is known as a wonderworker. She has intervened with the Lord to produce
countless miracles. Of all the saints (over160) whose relics Fr. Carlos Martins,
Director of Treasures of the Church, ministers with, Maria is the one who by far
has produced the most miracles.

LA CONFIANZA DEL NIÑO
Los especialistas en el desarrollo psicológico infantil nos dicen que un niño puede pasar fácilmente del llanto a la risa y nuevamente volver al llanto porque confía plenamente en la persona que lo sostiene en sus brazos. El niño manifiesta sus cambiantes emociones sin sentirse inhibido porque sabe que
el abrazo continuará de todos modos sin tomar en cuenta su estado de ánimo.
NUESTRA CONFIANZA EN DIOS
En la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, el Señor Jesús abraza y bendice a los niños que estuvieron a
punto de ser alejados de Él por sus apóstoles. Jesús afirma sencillamente que “quien no reciba el Reino
de Dios como un niño, no entrará en él”. Quizás podemos relacionar la explicación de los psicólogos
sobre la confianza del niño y las palabras de Jesús. Parte de nuestro camino cristiano incluye saber
cómo poner nuestra confianza en Dios. Algunas veces es un reto, especialmente cuando cosas malas
nos ocurren a nosotros o a nuestros seres queridos. Así como el pequeño muestra su plena confianza
en sus amorosos padres manifestando diferentes expresiones de emoción, de la misma manera nosotros,
al confiar plenamente en Dios, debemos sentirnos tranquilos de pasar de expresiones de alegría a
expresiones de tristeza. Esta es una manera sincera de vivir la vida cristiana. Las personas en las que
hemos depositado nuestra confianza son usualmente aquellas con las que sentimos que podemos
compartir nuestros sentimientos de profundo gozo así como los de gran desilusión. Esta es la clase
de relación que estamos llamados a cultivar con nuestro Dios.
Aceptar como un niño el reino de Dios puede significar un cambio en la manera en que nos
dirigimos a Dios. Debemos confiar que el abrazo amoroso de Dios siempre se mantendrá mientras
seamos sinceros con lo que somos y sinceros con Dios respecto a nuestros profundos anhelos,
gozos y tristezas.
