Dear Christ Our King and Savior Parish Family,
Blessings to all of you as we transition out of the Holy Season of Christmas and into a few weeks of "Time Throughout the Year," or so-called "Ordinary Time".
Friends, just as we conclude the season of a joyful birth, our Church asks us to turn our attention to the tragedy that has been and is procured abortion in the United States. January 22, 2019, is a day of prayer and fasting for all Catholics as we mark the terrible 46th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that paved the way for legal procured abortion in this great land.
Since that fateful day in 1973, 61 million human lives have been lost. The most recent statistics show that even in our "modern age" of knowledge, medicine, and technology, we are still killing over 2,000 of our own children
every day
in the United States alone.
Friends, to put it bluntly, this is easily and by far the worst human rights violation the world has ever seen. This is the manifestation of what St. John Paul II called "the Culture of Death" and what Pope Francis has repeatedly called "the Throw-Away Culture" and "the Scourge of Indifference".
What I have found in my near-decade of ministry experience is that most people have either never been taught or have been lied to about the nature of human life, the nature of human sexuality, and the truth about the actual procedure of abortion. Politicians and abortion industry leaders play on women's fears, and we as Church in the United States, to be honest, have done shockingly little to counter these lies and to address the needs of women and families in a crisis pregnancy, and to fight for those who have no voice.
One major sign of hope has been the March for Life: a yearly demonstration in the Nation's Capital that has grown to the hundreds of thousands. I've been fortunate to participate in this event seven times, each year being more edified by the coming generations who not only will fight the legal battle for the protection of innocent life, but who are on fire to share "the Gospel of Life" ... the Good News of who we are, the dignity that each person deserves, and who are ready and willing to enter the trenches with those who are in the terrible position of even considering an abortion, giving them hope and options, and most importantly, the love
they
deserve.
Our Respect Life Committee is standing in solidarity with this year's March, to give witness to the value of life, to show our community that we love children and we love mothers, we love families, that we will not be silent in the face of grave evil, but that our faith beckons us to believe that the love of Christ conquers all fear, heals all wounds, and gives us life, life to the full.
So please join the Respect Life Committee and me and the hundreds of thousands of life-loving souls in Washington on FRIDAY, January 18, for a Mass for Life at 9AM followed by a street-side "march" in front of the church to let the community know where we stand. We will be out there rain or shine, hot or cold. Please bring a Rosary and come when you can and leave when you must, or stay for the whole event.
Also, please join the whole Catholic nation is offering the 9 Days for Life Novena, which can be found at
www.9daysforlife.com
May the birth of Christ which we have just so beautifully celebrated cause within each of us a desire to see every family supported, every pregnant mother cared for, and every child afforded his or her right to life, from the moment of conception till the moment the Lord calls them home.
Peace in Christ,
Fr. Michael

The Baptism of the Lord
Jesus, whom God called "my beloved Son," is also the "servant" of whom Isaiah speaks in the first reading. We who are baptized in Christ must follow His example and use our time and resources in the service of God and neighbor.
