January 18th, 2015 2ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Respect Life Events This year marks the 42nd anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion virtually on demand in the United States. Thousands from the St. Louis Archdiocese are expected to attend the annual March for Life Thursday, January 22, in Washington, D.C. Approximately 2,000 young people will go to the March for Life as part of the Office of Youth Ministry's Generation Life pilgrimage January 21-25. A number of teens from our parish will be in attendance as well. The trip includes special programming, including Mass with Archbishop Carlson. A live blog of events will be at blog.stlouisreview.com/genlifestl. Also be sure to follow @genlifestl on Twitter and Instagram and on the Youth Ministry Office's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/genlifestl. The U.S. bishops have announced a "9 Days for Life" novena January 17-25 to encourage nationwide solidarity in prayer for daily intentions, including for couples experiencing infertility, those mourning the loss of a child through abortion, children in need of adoptive homes, and for an end to abortion and use of the death penalty. Individuals can join by mobile app, text message or email. For those not able to make it to the march, the Respect Life Apostolate and Office of Young Adult Ministry will hold a Young Adult Pro-Life Holy Hour and Rosary at 7 p.m. January 22 at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. A gathering will be held afterward in Boland Hall. I am grateful for the efforts of our parish’s Pro-Life Committee. They do wonderful work to help keep us informed on life issues and reminding us of our call to constantly pray. On Thursday, January 22 our parish will observe the National Day of Prayer for the Protection of Unborn Children at the morning Masses. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity This coming week, we also observe a week of prayer for unity. Each year during this time, as Christians deeply committed to Christian unity, we pray in a special way with Jesus who prayed “that they may be one” (John 17:22). The theme for this year’s observance is, “Jesus said to her, ‘Give me a drink’” All are invited to join in the ecumenical prayer service for Christian Unity at St. Justin the Martyr Parish, 11910 Eddie and Park Road, Sunset Hills, MO. Fr. Leobardo Almazan, OP, Prior of St. Dominic Priory will be the preacher. May we always keep in mind that this parish exists to give glory to God in all we do and for each one of us to be sanctified in our lives. Have a great week! St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us. Join us as we discuss chapter 3 of "Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic". There will be two opportunities for discussion. Choose the time that best suits your schedule! Monday, January 26 @ 8:45 am in the rectory meeting room Thursday, January 29 @ 7:00 pm in the rectory meeting room Our Lady Fa ma Statue Please consider honoring the Blessed Mother by having Our Lady of Fa ma Statue in your home for one week. It is very simple, no one comes to your home, and it is a wonderful way to show your love for Mary and ask for her blessings. For informa on or to schedule a week in February call Chris Cuneo at 846-4439. Jan 18-25 Uding Family 894-9786 Jan 25 - Feb 1 MaryAnn Meurer 894-7793 WELCOME TO ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI From the pen of Fr. Sullivan…….. Did you know? Next weekend I will be away, marching for life in Washington DC with hundreds of thousands from around the country. Since Roe v. Wade, tens of millions of unborn children have been legally murdered in our country. To date, the estimate of legal abortions is around 57 million. The population of the entire United States is 316 million. That means about 15% of our overall population in the United States has been aborted. No genocide, no holocaust, no mass killing has ever come close to that number in the recorded history of the world. The most curious aspect of this pro-life vs. pro-abortion (pro-death) debate is the fact that pro-lifers are frequently labeled as illogical, bible thumping, and irrational. However, we can argue against abortion without ever talking about our religion. Here is the line of logic: The fertilized egg is human. (This is pure scienti ic fact—the zygote, the embryo, the fetus… at every stage the baby in the womb is human. It simply cannot grow into anything other than a human being.) The fertilized egg is alive. (Once again, pure scienti ic fact—the cells begin dividing/reproducing on their own, with a completely unique genetic structure). If something is both alive and human, does that not make it a human life? Then the question is: “When is it ever acceptable to take an innocent human life?” The answer is simple: never. So, you can prove that abortion is wrong without ever appealing to religion. I have never received a satisfying response to this line of logic from someone who is pro-abortion. If you happen to hear a good response yourselves, please share it with me! Who knew? DynamicCatholic,Alive!–WhatisPrayer? Prayer is, irst and foremost, a heartfelt conversation and living relationship with God. “Whether we realize it or not, prayer is the encounter of God’s thirst with ours. God thirsts that we may thirst for Him” (CCC, 256). Prayer is the irst essential element of a serious spiritual formation process. “There is no substitute for a daily commitment to prayer” (Archbishop Carlson). How does your prayer life stand right now? archstl.org/dynamic MarriageChallenges?Retrouvaille (a French word meaning rediscovery) Is a program to help couples heal & renew their marriages that offers tools needed to rediscover a loving marriage relationship.

The Lord invites us to spend time with Him but our busy lives can get in the way. The Savior’s words of long ago call out to us today. But there will always be one more thing to do, another pressing need that will push Him out of view. So ‘come with me and rest a while’, the invitations there for everyone, even those with no time to spare. It may seem like a sacrifice of time we can’t afford, but not a moment is wasted when that time is spent with the Lord. The Lord’s gift of peace is waiting for you at the Jesuit White House Retreat just off Christopher Road. The retreat experience is presented in a format intended to deepen our spiritual outlook and to help us to manage the stress and doubts of everyday life. Here you can discover a new basis for a richer, fuller, faith-centered tomorrow. Join the men of our Parish in February 2015. Our retreat begins the evening of Thursday, February 5th and ends after lunch on Sunday, February 8th. For more information and to make your reservation contact: Gene Rosche @ 846-0405, Mike Wigand @ 487-0782 or Bill Fulhorst @ 846-3636. Visit: www.whretreat.org for photos and more information.
