Attention Parishioners!

Due to the fact that this year, December 12, feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, falls in a Saturday, our regular 5:00 p.m. Mass will be moved to 4:00 p.m. only this time. This will help to accommodate our regular attendees and those who come to venerate our Blessed Mother later that evening.

Además de un Año Nuevo Litúrgico, este Adviento se caracteriza por incluir otro “comienzo”; la próxima semana es la inauguración del Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, un tiempo de gracia para contemplar más profundamente y vivir más concretamente los misterios incondicionales del amor de Dios. El Papa Francisco dice que la misericordia, así como el puente que conecta a Dios con la familia humana, abre nuestros corazones para dar la bienvenida al amor de Dios por nosotros pecadores y abre nuestros ojos para reconocer al prójimo, especialmente en los menos amados por la sociedad y los más vulnerables, como hermanos y hermanas confiados a nuestro cuidado. Las Escrituras de este día facilitan una perfecta preparación para el Jubileo. Jeremías nos consuela con la promesa de la justicia de Dios; Pablo nos desafía para prosperar en el amor por todos, mientras que Lucas se esfuerza por anticiparnos el futuro de la venida de Jesús como el alegre adviento de nuestra redención. Pero de una única manera, el Adviento de este Año Jubilar nos recuerda que Jesús, de quien esperamos su venida, está ya presente en medio de nosotros, en aquellas personas para las que necesitamos convertirnos en instrumentos de la misericordia de Dios.

Besides a new liturgical year, this Advent features an additional “beginning”—next week’s opening of the Jubilee Year of Mercy, a graced oppor tunity to contemplate more profoundly and live more concretely the mystery of God’s unconditional love. Pope Francis says that mercy, as the bridge connecting God and the human family, opens our hearts to welcome God’s love for us sinners and our eyes to recognize others, especially society’s least loved and most vulnerable, as brothers and sisters entrusted to our care. Today’s scriptures provide a perfect Jubilee preparation. Jeremiah comforts us with the promise of God’s justice; Paul challenges us to abound in love for all; Luke bids us anticipate Jesus’ future coming as the joyful advent of our redemption. But in a unique way, this Jubilee Year’s Advent reminds us that Jesus, whose coming we await, is already present among us, in those for whom we need to become instruments of God’s mercy.

Opening Celebration of the Jubilee Year of Mercy

Purpose: To gather the faithful for Spiritual Encouragement in preparation for the Jubilee Year of Mercy. This outreach will engage others to bring the image and message of Divine Mercy outside the walls of our church. Rosary/Chaplet/Confessions/Song Speakers/Social Gathering.

KOLBE HOUSE ADVENT EMAIL RETREAT

The Jail Ministry of the Archdiocese of Chicago, invites you to participate in our annual Advent email retreat that starts on November 30, 2015.

Pope Francis has proclaimed that the Jubilee of Mercy will start on December 8, 2015. Its theme is Merciful Like the Father. The Jubilee of Mercy will center on the corporal and spiritual works of Mercy. As one Church we believe and profess that no one can be excluded from the mercy of God. Every week we will share our experiences of jail ministry and offer our reflections. In this retreat, you will look at the works of mercy through the lens of the jail ministry. You will do works of mercy in whatever situation you find yourself now. This retreat will help unite you to the Jubilee Year.

Abortion and Infant Mortality Even if one does not consider abortion to be an instance of infant mortality, one has to concede that premature birth is the salient reason for this problem. In fact, a study on premature birth concluded that it is responsible for at least 70 percent more infant deaths than previously thought. However, a major cause of premature births is undeniably surgical abortion, which for obvious reasons, Planned Parenthood chooses to ignore. There are now 60 studies from 23 countries dating to the 1960's showing that surgical abortion increases both miscarriage and premature birth: "Second trimester miscarriage and premature birth frequently follow induced abortions". Review FrenchGYN-OB. A study of 26,000 consecutive deliveries at UCLA was done to determine if previous abortions had increased the number of stillborn babies and neonatal (afterbirth) deaths. The findings were that the death rate "increased more than three fold." Another study carried out in Australia showed that women who had undergone an abortion had an 8.6% chance of having premature labor, compared to 4.4% for those women who had not had an abortion. Medical Journal of Australia. Medical World News reported that in Czechoslovakia, premature births resulting from abortions are so frequent that a woman who has had a number of abortions and who becomes pregnant is examined and the patient stays in the hospital as long as necessary until the birth. The facts are abundantly clear on how to reduce infant mortality. The question is do we have the resolve and determination to deal with the bigger issue of abortion, or do we continue to live in denial?

Aborto y Mortalidad Infantil Aunque uno no considere el aborto como un caso de mortalidad infantil, hay que admitir que el nacimiento prematuro es la razón principal de este problema. De hecho, un estudio acerca del nacimiento prematuro llegó a la conclusión de que es responsable de por lo menos 70 por ciento más muertes de infantes que lo que se pensaba previamente.

Sin embargo, una causa principal de los nacimientos prematuros es, sin lugar a dudas, el aborto quirúrgico, el cual por obvias razones, Planned Parenthood prefiere ignorar. Existen ahora 60 estudios provenientes de 23 países generados desde los 1960's que demuestran que el aborto quirúrgico incrementa ambos los abortos espontáneos y los nacimientos prematuros. Por ejemplo, el artículo: "abortos espontáneos y nacimientos prematuros en el segundo trimestre frecuentemente siguen a abortos inducidos" en la revista francesa de obstetricia y ginecología.

Un estudio de 26,000 partos consecutivos en la Universidad de California de Los Ángeles fué hecho para determinar si abortos previos habían aumentado el número de los bebés nacidos muertos y de muertes de neonatos (después de nacer). Los resultados indicaron que la tasa de mortalidad "se incrementó mas que tres veces”. Otro estudio llevado a cabo en Australia mostró que las mujeres que previamente se habían sometido a abortos tenían una probabilidad del 8.6% de tener partos prematuros, comparado con sólo el 4.4% para las que no lo habían hecho.

La revista Medical World News informó que en la República Checa, los partos prematuros consecuencia de abortos previos son tan frecuentes que una mujer que ha tenido un número of abortos y que queda embrazada, es examinada y permanece en el hospital tanto como sea necesario, hasta el nacimiento. Los hechos mencionados indican claramente cómo reducir la mortalidad infantil. Cabe la pregunta: tenemos el propósito y la determinación para enfrentar la cuestión más importante del aborto, o seguimos viviendo en la negación?
