Prayer: A
NOVENA TO THREE
AMERICAN SAINTS FOR LIFE Saints Elizabeth Seton, Frances Cabrini and John Neumann
are powerful witnesses to the Gospel of life, each in their own time.
This novena suggests three days of prayer to each of the Saints for
the promotion of Life in our country and our Church today.
After each day’s prayer below, add an Our Father, Hail Mary
and Glory Be.
Unidos
en Dios: Trabajando
juntos para prevenir las leyes injustas
Una carta del arzobispo Donald W. Wuerl de Washington D.C. que fue
leída desde la tarima durante la demostración del día
7 de septiembre, allá en Washington, pareció capturar
el espíritu del día. En aquella carta el arzobispo dijo
que la Iglesia católica NO está interesada en la reforma
de Ley de Inmigración a fin de llenar los bancos de sus iglesias
(como es expresado por algunos) sino para llenar los estómagos
de los muchos hambrientos quiénes vienen a nuestro país
buscando una mejor vida para ellos y sus familias.
También
somos americanos
El 7 de septiembre
pasado, yo tuve la oportunidad de ser parte de la delegación
de Filadelfia que viajó a Washington D.C., a participar en
la marcha en favor de leyes justas para los inmigrantes. La delegación
estaba compuesta por representantes de uniones laborales, grupos de
diferentes religiones así como grupos étnicos.
Profile: She’ll
oversee the Beacon Schools
“Follow
the light.”
That’s the advice the new assistant director of Community-Based
Services for the Archdiocese’s Catholic Social Services (CSS)
has for the young participants in Beacon Schools, a collaborative of
the Philadelphia Archdiocese and the City of Philadelphia that is scheduled
to be announced Sept. 21.
Witness
to the Sorrow: Victims speak
It was fitting that rain should fall in Philadelphia on the Feast
of Our Lady of Sorrows, the day that victims of clergy sexual abuse
told their stories to hundreds of priests from the Archdiocese who
gathered at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Wynnewood to bear witness
to the evil they endured.
Cardinal,
clergy listen to victims’ accounts of clergy abuse
“I was moved to tears.”
That was the reaction of Msgr. John M. Galyo, pastor emeritus of
Sacred Heart Parish in Phoenixville, to the Sept. 15 “Witness
to the Sorrow” program held at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary
in Wynnewood.
‘Beacons’
in the fight against violence The
parish schoolhouse door will stay open after-hours in five troubled
Philadelphia neighborhoods, affording children there a haven from drug-pushers
and street violence, under a plan to be announced today.
