A Listening Silence
“The Liturgy of the Word is to be celebrated in such a way as to promote meditation, and so any sort of haste that hinders recollection must clearly be avoided” (GIRM, art. 56). Liturgy and leisure are related. In a world stressed by noise and haste, the liturgy is a space of silence wherein each thing can be done calmly, deliberately, and with grace.
Brief periods of silence mark the Liturgy of the Word. These periods of silence are to be adapted to the needs and readiness of the assembly. The first of these may occur after the Collect (the Opening Prayer), just before the Liturgy of the Word begins. After the first reading a moment of silence prepares the responsorial Psalm. After the second reading the Alleluia rises out of silence on the wings of song. Lastly, silence follows the homily, allowing the word proclaimed to become a word held in the heart.
In some communities, the introduction of silences will involve unlearning old patterns and entering into a new way of proclaiming, hearing, and praying the Word. The rewards of such an effort will be great. “Blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear” (Matthew 13:16-17).

Personhood
If you look up the word "person" in your average dictionary, you will find something like this: "Person n. A human being." When Roe v Wade was decided in 1973, the science of fetology was not able to prove, as it can now, that a living, fully human, and unique individual exists at the moment of fertilization and continues to grow through various stages of development until death. However, the majority decision in Roe v Wade made a startling admission: “If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant’s case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment.” Justice Harry Blackmun, Roe v. Wade With modern science, it is now straightforward to prove that the unborn child is a human being: "After fertilization has taken place a new human being has come into being. It is no longer a matter of taste or opinion...it is plain experimental evidence. Each individual has a very neat beginning, at conception." Dr. Jerome Lejeune, "Father of Modern Genetics" Within the pro-life movement, there is now an important initiative to include the pre-born as "persons." This terrifies the pro-abortionists because "persons" are protected by a series of God-given rights and constitutional guarantees such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They know that if we clearly define the preborn baby as a "person," they will have the same right to life as all Americans do!
Three Times In Modern History The Word "Person" Has Been Redefined: 1857: The U.S. Supreme Court declares that African Americans are not legal persons. They are the "property" of their owners. 1936: The German Supreme Court, the Reichsgericht, refuses to recognize Jews living in Germany as persons. Genocide becomes legal. 1973: The U.S. Supreme Court rules that the unborn are not persons in the legal sense; they have no civil or human rights. The unborn are the "property" of the mother, who can "choose" to abort them up to the day of delivery. "The word person as used in the 14th Amendment does not include the unborn." Justice Harry Blackmun, Roe v. Wade
Respect Life
LA PERSONA Si usted busca la palabra "persona" en un diccionario promedio, usted encontrará algo como esto: "Persona, s, un ser humano." Cuando el juicio Roe v Wade se decidió en 1973, la ciencia de la embriología/genética no fue capaz de probar, hoy sí lo puede hacer, que la vida, el ser plenamente humano, individual y único existe desde el momento de la fertilización y continúa creciendo a través de las diversas etapas de su desarrollo y hasta su muerte. Sin embargo, la decisión de la mayoría en el caso Roe v Wade hizo una admisión sorprendente: "Si la definición del ser humano es establecida en este caso, la apelación por supuesto se otorga en favor del derecho a la vida del feto que sería garantizada específicamente por la Enmienda." Justicia Harry Blackmun, Roe v. Wade Con la ciencia moderna, ahora es fácil probar que el feto es un ser humano: "Después de la fecundación se ha producido un nuevo ser humano. Ya no es una cuestión de moda u opinión...es sencillamente una evidencia científica. Cada individuo tiene un comienzo muy específico en la concepción." Dr. Jerome Lejeune, "Padre de la genética moderna" Dentro del movimiento pro-vida, ahora existe una importante iniciativa para definir al feto como "persona". Esto aterroriza a los pro-abortistas ya que "las personas" están protegidas por una serie de derechos dados por Dios y por las garantías constitucionales: como la vida, la libertad y la búsqueda de la felicidad. Ellos saben que si definimos claramente al bebé antes de nacer como a una "persona", estos bebés tendrán el mismo derecho a la vida que tienen todos los Americanos!
Tres Veces En La Historia Moderna La Palabra "Persona" Se Ha Redefinido:
1857: El Tribunal Supremo de Estados Unidos declara que los afroamericanos no son personas
jurídicas. Son la "propiedad" de sus dueños.
1936: El Tribunal Supremo de Alemania, el Reichsgericht, niega a reconocer a los Judios que
viven en Alemania como personas. Genocidio se vuelve legal.
1973: La Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos dictamina que los no nacidos no son personas en el
sentido legal; no tienen derechos civiles o humanos. Los no nacidos son "propiedad" de la madre,
quienes pueden "elegir" abortarlos hasta el día de nacimiento. "La palabra ‘persona’ que se utiliza
en la Enmienda 14, no incluye a los no nacidos." Justicia Harry Blackmun en el caso Roe v. Wade.
