 WEEKLY MEDITATION

Today Jesus talks about the sacredness of marriage, vows, and commitment. The Gospel reminds us of the family values on which our lives and society are based.
Jesus speaks with authority and his teaching, therefore, carries the truth. Our society is running away from both. We witnessed this ourselves, this week in Cook County, when same sex domestic partnership, which is not based on biblical values but on a strange definition of feelings, acceptance, and human rights, gained legal recognition. The beautiful realities and images of heart, family, equality, and God are distorted!  Where do we stand?  Where do you stand? Your answer might determine yours and your children's futures. As Christians, what do we stand for? Jesus says let your answer be yes or no. Have we ever said no?

THE HOLY ROSARY - In his apostolic letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae (On the Most Holy Rosary), Pope John Paul II proclaimed this year as "The Year of the Rosary". His intent was to offer encouragement and exhortation to the faithful "to contemplate the face of Christ in union with his Most Holy Mother". The Holy Father envisions the rosary and the person of the Blessed Virgin Mary as indispensable elements of a contemplate renewal in the Church. Cardinal George particularly stresses the importance of this prayer and devotion. In our pews and in the bulletin you will find a commemorative brochure with information about the rosary and why we should pray it. Please take this to heart!
