1 XXVII Sunday in Ordinary October 7, 2018 ST. PIUS X PARISH E. 13th Place, Aurora, CO, Office: Fax: Office Hours: Monday - Friday 8:30-5:00 pm STPIUSXPARISH.ORG & STPIUSXSCHOOL.NET School: RESPECT ESPECT LIFE IFE SUNDAYUNDAY Uniquely You: From your first moments of existence, you had all the DNA that would deter- mine your sex, facial features, physique, and the color of your skin, hair, and eyes. At 24 days, your heart began beating. By 8 weeks, all your organs were present, and your unique finger- prints were forming. Ultrasounds show that by 18 weeks, you could swim, somersault, suck your thumb, and even cover your ears if you heard loud music. Fetal Development, Peri- natology.com It s a crime to take an innocent person's life. However, in 1973, the United States Supreme Court in the case Roe v. Wade ruled that it is legal for a mother to kill the child in her womb. In many states, an abortion is legal up to the moment of birth. As Catholic Faithful What Are We to Do? Support women who need help during and after difficult and/or unexpected pregnancies through the work of Marisol Health at (303) or go to marisolhealth.org. Support women who are still chafing after the burden of past abortions and think of them- selves as unforgivable, living a life away from the Lord and the Sacraments. Jesus tells us that there are no unforgivable sins. If a woman reveals to you that she had an abortion, express your sympathy for her loss. Assure her of God's unconditional love and encourage her to seek healing and forgiveness. Project Rachel is a Catholic ministry open to anyone who is strug- gling after an abortion loss or Stay informed about key federal legislation and the voting records of your elected representa- tives by visiting Support with your vote and civic activism those representatives that promote legal protection to the unborn and the elderly and oppose abortion and euthanasia. Most importantly,, pray for an end to abortion,, because nearly 60,000,000 children were not allowed to live since Roe v. Wade, and pray for those men and women who have participated in an abortion that they seek forgiveness and redemption. Jesus died for all, and He waits for us to come to Him to receive Mercy.
