RESPECT LIFE
RESPETO A LA VIDA
H
ow long, O Lord?” (Habakkuk 1:2).
With Habakkuk’s question echoing
across twenty-six hundred years,
Respect Life Sunday finds all life claiming
sanctuary in our hearts: unborn infant, senior
citizen, immigrant and refugee, imprisoned
and addicted, people burdened with illness
and disabilities of body, mind, or spirit. Even
Mother Earth, Pope Francis notes in Laudato
Si’, bears scars of disrespect for the life she
nurtures and sustains. Life is still threatened, as in Habakkuk’s
day, with ruin and misery, “destruction and violence, . . . strife
and clamorous discord” (see 1:3). Since our efforts so often
seem ineffective, we “unprofitable servants” cry with the
apostles, “Increase our faith” (Luke 17:10, 5). But Jesus’ reply
might be paraphrased, “Not quantity—quality.”
Next weekend marks the Jubilee Year of Mercy’s special
devotion to Mary, whose willingness to shelter Jesus in her
womb and stand at the foot of his cross bears witness to the
qualities that Jesus expects our faith to manifest: the
willingness to trust, to risk, and to dare to speak up for life.

¿H
asta cuándo, Señor?
(Habacuc 1:2). Esta pregunta
de Habacuc se sigue
escuchando aún después de dos mil
seiscientos años; este Domingo de Respeto a
la Vida exhorta a que la vida requiere de un
santuario en nuestros corazones: del bebé
que está por nacer, las personas de la
tercera edad, los inmigrantes, los refugiados,
las personas encarceladas, los adictos, las
personas enfermas o con discapacidades del cuerpo, la mente
o el espíritu. Aún la Madre Tierra, como lo menciona el Papa
Francisco en Laudato Si’, tiene marcadas las cicatrices de la
falta de respeto por la vida que ella nutre y sustenta. La vida
todavía está amenazada, así como lo menciona Habacuc hoy,
con ruina y miseria (destrucción y violencia, . . . peleas y
riñas” (ver 1:3). Ya que muy frecuentemente nuestros
esfuerzos parecen ineficaces, nosotros “servidores
improductivos” gritamos con los apóstoles “auméntanos la
fe” (Lucas 17:10, 5). Quizá interpretando la respuesta de Jesús
“No es la cantidad, sino la calidad”. El próximo fin de semana,
dentro del Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, se celebrará la
devoción a María cuya voluntad de recibir a Jesús en su
vientre y estar al pie de la cruz da testimonio de las cualidades
que Jesús espera que nuestra fe manifieste: la voluntad de
confiar, de arriesgar y de atreverse a hablar a favor de la vida.

Evening Prayer
Tuesday, October 4 - 6:30pm - Church
What is Evening Prayer?
Vespers, also called Evening Prayer, is part of the Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office. In the Liturgy of the
Hours, the Church fulfills Jesus' command to "pray always". Through this prayer, the people of God sanctify the day by
continual praise of God and prayers of intercession for the needs of the world.
The Liturgy of the Hours includes several specified times of prayer. The most important times, called the "hinge hours," are
Morning Prayer (which takes place upon rising) and Evening Prayer (which takes place as dusk begins to fall). The other hours
are Midday Prayer and Night Prayer.
Bishops, priests, deacons, and many men and women in consecrated life pray the Liturgy of the Hours each day. Their work is
organized around this prayer, keeping God always at the center of their days. Lay people are encouraged to pray the Liturgy of
the Hours as well, especially Morning and Evening Prayer. Evening Prayer gives thanks for the day just past and makes an
evening sacrifice of praise to God. – excerpts from the USCCB website on Liturgy of the Hours.
NURSERY CARE AVAILABLE
The nursery is available during the 10:30am Sunday Mass for children 0 to 3 years of age. We provide age appropriate toys for
children in a caring environment. All volunteers have been through the Diocesan required background checks and Safe
Environment training. The Nursery is located past the Gift Store in the hallway to the left as you walk past the church
entrance. No reservations are necessary, just come by before Mass.
