4 Dear Friends in Christ, From the Desk of Father Reed C. Mungovan, S.D.S. Today from the book of the prophet Jeremiah we hear God talking about a happy person who trusts in God. God compares the person who trusts in Him with a tree planted by a river. The roots of the tree reach out to the river. The person who trusts in God reaches out to God in many ways. We want to trust in God more and more. May we reach out to God in daily prayer, by reading scripture, and by trying to see Jesus in those we meet. There are so many ways to reach out to God. Let us continue reaching out each day of our lives. May God bless you abundantly, Fr. Reed Christopher Mungovan, SDS Holy Mary, Mother of Good Counsel, pray for us. WE DID IT!!!!!!! Thank you so much to all who contributed to the Crib Club Baby Shower and Fundraiser for Women's Care Center. We were able to reach our goal of $ to support a mother through her pregnancy until her baby is 2 years old. We also were able to supply the Crib Club Store with $ worth of inkind donations. Sarah Campbell from the Women's Care Center was so appreciative to receive the baby items and monetary donations: "Thank you so much to MGC for their incredible generosity. It is a blessing to us." What a wonderful effort for a crucial cause!!! Thank you all for supporting the preciousness of life and the family.

5 BUILDING A CULTURE OF LIFE THE PRINCIPLES OF CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING In today s world where the most vulnerable are overlooked and disregarded, Christ calls us to accept and support the unconditional dignity of every human life. The Milwaukee Westside Catholic Churches (St. Catherine, St. Sebs, and MGC) have agreed to focus on building a Culture of Life in ourselves, our Parish communities, our families, our neighborhoods, our city as well as our state, our nation and our world. The Principles of Catholic Social Teaching are a rich treasury of wisdom about building a just society& living a moral and satisfying life is an increasingly divisive world. Open your minds and hearts to reviewing the Principles of Catholic Social Teaching you will certainly find them absolutely compelling! 1. Life & Dignity of the Human Person God made each person, thus every person is precious and should be protected. 2. Call to Family, Community, and Participation All humans have a right to participate in society, seeking together the common good of all. 3. Rights and Responsibilities every human being has a right fundamental right to life and a duty to make sure that everyone is safe and healthy and can have a good life. 4. Option for the Poor and Vulnerable God wants us to reach inside ourselves and find the will to help poor people who don t have enough food, medicine or a safe place to live. 5. Dignity of Work and Rights of Workers Work is more than just a way of making a living it is continuing the participation in God s creation. We must also respect the rights of workers to decent working conditions and fair wages. 6. Solidarity God made everyone so we are all brothers and sisters whatever our national, racial, economic, and biological differences 7. Care for the Gift of God s Creation As we become more & more aware of the ugly effects of global warming, we must accept the hard work of changing our behavior to protect our environment No, you are not expected to memorize these Principles of Catholic Social Teaching but know that they are the fundamental reasons behind many of the activities and prayers that will be forthcoming during Also, there will be a large poster in the Church Vestibule with all of the above themes listed for you to reference.

8 Vida Católica, Misión y Espiritualidad La parroquia Madre del Buen Consejo tiene el honor de presentar una serie de cinco charlas con personas que presentan y motivarán nuestra fe y nuestro caminar. Estos eventos están programados varios domingos aqui en la parroquia del Madre del Buen Consejo. (6924 W. Lisbon Ave.) Después de las presentaciones, habrá una oportunidad para hacer preguntas. Las presenaciones de seguro inspirarán y darán mensajes fuertes de parte de personas con excelentes credenciales. Todas las presentaciones serán los domingos de 1:30-2:30pm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ de marzo, 2019 Janet and Richard Mason and Susan Heartel; La Historia y Apostolado de los Laicos Salvatorianos de abril, 2019 Randy Denk; María, Madre del Redentor: Escritos del Papa San Juan Pablo II ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ven, celebre con nosotros nuestra identidad católica (quienes somos), evangelización (lo que hacemos), nuestros dones (como lo hacemos). (Las presentaciones serán en inglés con la excepción de la primera charla) MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO - ALENTAR ENTENDIMIENTO MÁS PROFUNDO DE LA ESCRITURA (Gospel Meditation) 17 de febrero de º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario En este domingo las lecturas nos invitan a reflexionar en lo que es vivir siempre luchando por una sociedad más justa. El Papa Francisco hizo una meditación para pensar en los que no tienen ni siquiera lo necesario para vivir. Dice así:?se rinde un culto idolátrico al dinero. Porque se ha globalizado la indiferencia!, se ha globalizado la indiferencia: a mí qué me importa lo que les pasa a otros mientras yo defienda lo mío? Porque el mundo se ha olvidado de Dios, que es Padre; se ha vuelto huérfano porque dejó a Dios de lado. Algunos de ustedes expresaron: Este sistema ya no se aguanta. Tenemos que cambiarlo, tenemos que volver a llevar la dignidad humana al centro y que sobre ese pilar se construyan las estructuras sociales alternativas que necesitamos. Hay que hacerlo con coraje, pero también con inteligencia. Con tenacidad, pero sin fanatismo. Con pasión, pero sin violencia. Y entre todos, enfrentando los conflictos sin quedar atrapados en ellos, buscando siempre resolver las tensiones para alcanzar un plano superior de unidad, de paz y de justicia. Los cristianos tenemos algo muy lindo, una guía de acción, un programa, podríamos decir, revolucionario. Les recomiendo vivamente que lo lean, que lean las bienaventuranzas que están en el capítulo 5 de San Mateo y 6 de San Lucas, (cfr. Mt 5, 3 y Lc 6, 20) y que lean el pasaje de Mateo 25. Se los dije a los jóvenes en Río de Janeiro, con esas dos cosas tiene el programa de acción. (Discurso de S.S. Francisco a los participantes del Encuentro Mundial de los Movimientos Populares, octubre de 2014). Crees que vale la pena meditar lo que dice el Papa?
