Ministry Schedule for February 8 & 9, 2020
“When parents say ‘yes’ to life for their child, they are saying ‘yes’ to the most loving and healing path for all involved. When God invites us to draw close to him by following his commandments (Jn 14:15), he does so because he wants what is best for us. By saying ‘yes’ to life for their child, which is morally good and right, parents are placing their trust in God and embracing their child and the life their child has been given for as long as it is given.”
USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities “Supporting Families Who Receive a Prenatal Diagnosis”
May all expectant parents joyfully welcome their children as gifts from God, as Mary and Joseph welcomed the Christ Child, we pray to the Lord.

“Cuando los padres dicen ‘sí’ a la vida para su hijo, están diciendo ‘sí’ al camino más amoroso y sanador para todos los afectados. Cuando Dios nos invita a acercarnos a Él cumpliendo su mandamientos (Juan 14, 15), lo hace porque quiere lo mejor para nosotros. Al decir ‘sí’ a la vida de su hijo, que es moralmente lo bueno y justo, los padres están poniendo su confianza en Dios y abrazando a su hijo y a la vida que se le ha dado a su hijo por el tiempo que sea.”
Secretariado de Actividades Pro-Vida de la USCCB Par Apoyar A Familias Con Un Diagnóstico Prenatal
Que todos los padres que esperan un hijo con alegria los acojan como regalos de Dios, al igual que María y José acogieron al Niño Jesús, roguemos al Señor.
