Friday’s ruling by the Supreme Court regarding abortion is showing the deep divide in our country. I have said for many years that the abortion decision created the “line in the sand” for this country. How to reconcile the two sides of the abortion issue when the 5th commandment is very clearly about murder. I am providing the statements by Cardinal DiNardo, the Texas bishops conference, and the American bishops conference regarding Friday’s decision. Following those comments, I am providing some action items that we, THE CHURCH, can do to build the kingdom of God. These action items are taken from the bishop’s document titled, Stading With Moms In Need.

Tonight our youth learned that it is healthy to ask questions regarding our faith. Doing so helps us grow in our faith. Questions require us to seek the truths of our faith through study, talking with people knowledgeable in our faith and prayer.
A priest in the archdiocese often asks me when I see him, “Do you have a vocation?” He presided at one of the first Masses at which I preached as a deacon. My question to the assembly that day was whether they had a vocation. The word “vocation” often makes us think of a priestly or religious vocation. But we all have a vocation to holiness. The call to holiness arises from the sacrament of baptism that we have received. Our discernment as we journey through our youthful years is to determine what path God wants us to follow in order to serve Him and to grow in holiness.
