Must Read Article on How to Vote Catholic

This is one of the best articles I have read regarding the upcoming election. PLEASE READ! Click here to go to the website.

Prolife, Abortion and the Election

The three issues in the above heading are challenging when speaking about them. People are seeking direction in this upcoming election. I decided to challenge myself to study more and to reflect on them. The attached letters are thoughts I culled from readings and media presentations along with my opinion on the issues.

Also, I have included a link to a panel discussion hosted by our diocesan Director of Life & Justice, Matt Davis, on Faithful Citizenship and Civilize It. Click here to view.

Reflection Materials for Upcoming Election

Matt Davis wrote two pieces that may be helpful on forming our conscience for the upcoming election. One deals with "Civilize It, an initiative of the bishops for us to talk about the issues in a civil manner. Here, is a link to take the "civilize it" pledge stating that you will try to "promote civility, love our neighbors, and build community." The other contains four thoughts of his on the bishops' document faithful citizenship. Bishop McElroy wrote a thought-provoking article on "voting with faith and conscience that you can access here. Finally, here is a link to a webinar The Church and Catholic Voters in the 2020 Election with Convener: Mark Massa, S.J., Director, The Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life, Boston College M. Cathleen Kaveny, Professor of Law and Theology, Boston College Cardinal Joseph Tobin, Archbishop of Newark Michael Sean Winters, Columnist, National Catholic Reporter. A cardinal, a theologian/lawyer, and a journalist discuss the ways the Church -- institutionally, as a teacher, and as a group of diverse people -- will frame the issues and affect Catholic voters in 2020. From abortion to immigration, policy to personality, what does the Catholic Church have to say? And will it matter?

Resources for Racism

Unfortunately, we are well aware that we are still a racist society. It begins with the individual and then with the community. Click here for a series of articles, books and videos to enlighten us on this issue. Hopefully, it will move our hearts into action. Perhaps one of these resources will become the material for another "parish conversation."

Camden's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception reopens with caution, prayer

We got a little "ink" in an article in the National Catholic Reporter online version on the "reopening" of liturgy. Check it out here. Did you view the virtual tour in the top right hand corner of the homepage?

Prayer for Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
Jesús mío, creo que estás presente en el Santísimo Sacramento. Te amo por encima de todas las cosas y deseo recibirte en mi alma. Como ahora no puedo recibirte sacramentalmente, entra al menos espiritualmente en mi corazón. Te abrazo como si ya estuvieras allí y me uno completamente a ti. Nunca permitas que me separe de ti. Amén.

Pope Francis' Prayer to Blessed Virgin on the Coronavirus

O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee,
we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.
Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

Oh María, siempre brillas en nuestro camino como señal de salvación y de esperanza. Nos confiamos a ti, Salud de los enfermos, quien en la cruz participó en el dolor de Jesús, manteniendo su fe firme. Tú, salvación del pueblo Romano, sabes lo que necesitamos y estamos seguros de que proveerás para que, como en Caná de Galilea, podemos volver a la alegría y al banquete después de este tiempo de tribulación. Ayúdanos, Madre del Amor Divino, para conformarnos a la voluntad del Padre y hacer lo que nos dice Jesús, quien ha asumido nuestros sufrimientos y llevó nuestras penas para guiarnos, a través de la cruz, a la alegría de la resurrección. Amén.

Bajo tu protección acudimos, Santa Madre de Dios. No desprecies las súplicas que te dirigimos en nuestras necesidades, antes bien, líbranos de todo peligro, oh Virgen gloriosa y bendita.
