For confiden-tial information or register for the September 8-10, 2017 Spokane weekend call (509) 520-4118 or (800)470-2230 or visit the web site at www.Retoouvaille.org.

Rachel’s Vineyard Suffering because of an abortion you could not stop? Perhaps your girlfriend or wife had an abortion against your will. You may have been powerless to stop her decision and protect your child. Fathers do not have any rights when their partner is making a deci-sion to abort. Rachel’s Vineyard will help you to grieve your loss and deal with the powerful feelings of anger and depression you are struggling with. You will need the help of others to heal this loss. If God is calling you to hope and healing OR to minister to those in need of hope and healing here in our local community, please contact Lisa Petersen (509-421-7847 or lisape-tersen65@gmail.com)for more information. Your call will be kept completely confidential.

The Book of Daniel, from which our First Reading is drawn, was written some two centuries before the birth of Christ. This is only significant in that many of the prophets (Daniel is considered one of the major prophets) lived as many as six centuries before Christ. However, regardless the timeline, we need to be moved by and appreciative of the prophecies we find in the Old Testament. In the particular passage in today’s reading it states, “The one like a Son of Man received dominion, glory, and kingship.” Today, of course, is the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, and this reading very much parallels what is por-trayed in the Transfiguration. The interesting point within this reading from Daniel, however, is that it refers to the “Son of Man,” which is the term Jesus Himself used most often to describe Himself. We have referenced this fact previously. In fact, the term “Son of Man” occurs 85 times in the Gospels, and in 83 of them it is Jesus who uses the term. (It appears 32 times in Matthew; 15 times in Mark; 26 times in Luke; and 12 times in John, and it is in John where it is used twice by someone other than Jesus.) The important point for us is that Jesus calling Himself the Son of Man explains that He was born of a woman, and He shares in our earthly conditions and sufferings. That fact should make us want to embrace Him as our Savior, our Friend, and our Shepherd even more. From http://www.catholicsteward.com/blog) What Can I do? The Bible commands us to help "the least of these, my brothers and sisters..." Matthew 25:45. In our culture of death, no doubt the "least of these our brothers and sisters" are the defenseless, innocent children in the womb who are so incredibly vulnerable. So, here are some ideas of what we can do to make a real difference: ♦ Join or Support the Respect Life Committee in your Par-ish ♦ Start or Support a Gabriel Project in Your Parish ♦ Meet with and write to your Legisla-tors as a Constituent, Communicating the Catholic Church Position on Life Issues ♦ Support Local Pregnancy Centers by donating Your Time, Talents, and Treasure ♦ Tell Others about Project Rachel, a Post- Abortion Rec-onciliation/Counseling ♦ Pray for Those Who Have Been Involved in an Abortion ♦ Pray for the life of all, particularly giving witness outside our local abortion clinics “From the first moment of existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person–among which is the inviolable right of every innocent human being to life.” By Pro-Life Articles Author www.pro-lifearticles.org
