Reflecting on God’s Word
As a nation, we are a mobile people. Not only do we travel
around during vacations, for special events, and for visiting
family and friends, but we readily move from one place to another for college, work, health reasons, and finally retirement.
While previous generations usually stayed with one job and in

one house for practically all of their lives, today it is common
to move from one place to another, to a different state or even
to a different country. This mobility carries over into our relationships. We can find that our lives take us from one set of
friends to another, from one close relationship to another.
So Jesus’ admonition to remain in his love can sound quite
challenging to people whose lives are characterized by change
and impermanence. The word “remain” is sometimes translated
as “abide.” The meaning of this invitation is to “take up permanent residence.” Last week Jesus called us to “remain” in his
word; this week, to “remain in my love” (John 15:9).
Jesus tells us how to do this (by keeping his commandments),
why we should do this (so that his joy might be in us and our
joy complete), what specifically we should do (love one another as I have loved you, that is, by laying down my life for you),
and what is to be gained by doing this (an ongoing friendship
with him that bears fruit and gains whatever we ask the Father
in his name).
Not a bad exchange for settling down . . . in his love.

Respect Life Committee The need for Hippocratic revival in
Medicine!
In Hippocrates’ day, medicine was corrupt. Doctors got
away with murder. Hippocrates established a new
genre of physician who would not commit abortions or euthanize. In
time, patients preferred pro-life physicians.
How desperately we need that today! Unless a doctor respects the
right to life, how can we trust him/her on: * ectopic pregnancy care
when they are so quick to abort; * mandatory vaccinations when some
are made with aborted fetal tissue; * end of life care when he/she
thinks it is acceptable sometimes to kill and innocent person intentionally.
With the advent of gov’t–controlled healthcare, never has it been
more necessary to identify and prefer pro-life physicians. The Assoc
of Pro-Life Physicians founded in 2004 has the vision to identify and
promote physicians who adopt the pro-life plank of the original Hippocratic Oath. Go to prolifephysicians.org. Search also these sites: cathmed.org; aaplog.org; cmda.org and hippocraticregistry.com
~~~~~~~
Until all are welcomed in life and protected in law.
Join us in the Rosary, Chaplet of Divine Mercy & song.

being stressed out, too. For a fact sheet on managing stress
