Burns FAMILY PERSEPCTIVE for Sunday, October 14th Provided by the Hope Appeal Funds Having possessions is an illusion. In today s gospel, Jesus told the young man to give up his need to control and put his trust in God. He could not let go! In Families, our need to control destroys relationships. We can lead, teach and encourage, but we cannot control anyone but ourselves.

4 Page Four Dear Padre, Does the Church consider homosexuality a sin? Although Church teaching considers the homosexual orientation to be disordered because homosexual acts are closed to the gift of life and lack the affective and sexual complementarity necessary for marriage, the Church nonetheless clearly affirms the basic human dignity of homosexual persons and their ability to achieve graced and holy lives. Although the Church teaches that homosexual acts are immoral, the Catechismof the Catholic Church states unequivocally that homosexual persons must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided (CCC 2358). Scientific evidence suggests that, in the vast majority of cases, sexual identity homosexual, heterosexual, or somewhere in between is not a matter of choice. It s determined before we re even aware of it, and we gradually grow into it as we mature. So even if there is an essential imperfection in homosexuality because of the lack of complementarity and inability to procreate, gay persons are in no way morally responsible for their orientation. They shouldn t see it as an obstacle to a fulfilling and happy life. It follows from this that a homosexual inclination is in no way incompatible with a Christian vocation or the pursuit of holiness. All of us have various inclinations to sin, and gay persons have the same hope of God s friendship and grace as anybody else.

I am still not completely healed and continue to enjoy physical therapy with Chris Bouton who lets me know that pain is a sign of continual healing. I love Chris for his encouraging words and kind movement of my right arm. As you know I broke my right shoulder and of course I am right handed. The words Thank You truly do not express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you, my beloved parishioners. First and foremost for your most appreciated and necessary prayers of healing grace, your beautiful cards telling of the prayers and support for my return to church. I am most grateful to my brother Priests and Deacon Nick and especially Msgr. Kennedy and Father Karlen for stepping up and covering the Masses and other Parish happenings. I realize and know how blessed I am to have them with me here to serve the parish. I am most humbled by all the kindnesses extended to me during this time of healing and recuperation. Over the next couple of weeks with the doctor s approval I hope to return to my duties as your pastor. As you have loved me so I love you with my prayers for you and a million thank you s.
