First 1000 Days: A Catholic Culture of Life Initiative Sunday November 22, 2015
Where All Are Welcomed and Loved With Mercy - Day 252 Hunger and poverty also mean poor access to prenatal care, leading to high maternal mortality. Maternal mortality has a precise definition: the death of a woman while pregnant or within six weeks of the end of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the preg-nancy. Most maternal deaths can be prevented when births are attended by skilled health personnel who are regularly supervised and have
the proper equipment and supplies.
Los Primeros 1000 días: Una Cultura Católica de la Iniciativa de Vida Domingo 22 de Noviembre del 2015
Donde todos son acogidos y amados por la misericordia - día 252 El hambre y la pobreza también significa la falta de acceso a la atención prenatal, lo que lleva a la alta mortalidad materna. La mortalidad materna tiene una definición precisa: la muerte de una mujer mientras está embarazada o dentro de seis semanas siguientes al final del em-
barazo, por cualquier causa relacionada o agravada por el embarazo. La mayoría de las muertes maternas se pueden evitar cuando los nacimientos son atendidos por personal de salud calificado cuales supervisan regularmente y tienen el equipo y los suministros adecuados.

Social Justice Ministry Whether believers or not, we are agreed today that the earth is es-sentially a shared inheritance, whose fruits are meant to benefit
everyone. The principle of the subordination of private property to the universal destination of goods and thus the right of everyone to
their use, is a golden rule of social conduct and “the first principle of the whole ethical and social order.”
Hoy creyentes y no creyentes estamos de acuerdo en que la tierra
es esencialmente una herencia común, cuyos frutos deben beneficiar a todos. El principio de la subordinación de la propiedad privada al destino universal de los bienes y, por tanto, el derecho
universal a su uso es una « regla de oro » del comportamiento social y el
« primer principio de todo el ordenamiento ético-social ».

This document is “addressed to all people of good will.” Genesis Chapter 1 tells of God’s loving creation of the earth out of chaos and God calls it “very good”. God creates humans as capable of self-knowledge and instill with “infinite dignity”, being “first conceived in the heart of God.” All creation is “willed, loved and necessary”. As humans we need to recognize our intertwined relationship with God, all people and the earth. St. Francis of Assisi modeled for us love of all creation which we have a duty to protect. “the gift of the earth with its fruits belongs to everyone.”#80
Action Items“The ultimate destiny of the universe is in the fullness of God, which has already been attained by the risen Christ.” “All creatures are moving forward with us and through us toward a common point of arrival which is God.” p.40Action: Meditate on the direction God is calling you.
“Nature is a constant source of wonder and awe. It is also a continuing revelation of the divine.” p. 41Action: Set aside time to experience the sacredness of nature. Listen to the message sent to you by “paradoxical and silent voice”.
“God has joined us so closely to the world around us that we can feel…the extinction of species as a painful disfigurement.” p. 43Action: Research a species on the brink of extinction or a forest or river on the verge of destruction. Pray for the Holy Spirit to bring wisdom to overcome the greed and change the course of this “rape of the earth”.
“We should be particularly indignant at the enormous inequalities in our midst, whereby we continue to tolerate some considering themselves more worthy than others. We fail to see that some are mired in desperate and degrading poverty, while others have not the faintest idea of what to do with all their possessions.”p.44Action: When you come in contact with a homeless person, remember their innate dignity and greet them with a smile and a friendly word.
A New Zealand bishop “thou shalt not kill” to the fact that “twenty percent of the world’s population consumes resources at a rate that robs the poor nations and future generations of what they need to survive.” p.46Action: Discuss with your family ways to reduce your consumption and be intentional about your purchasing habits.
En el cuidado de nuestro hogar común, Laudato Si ' Capítulo Dos - El Evangelio de la Creación
Francisco nos dice: "Si el simple hecho de ser humano se mueve a la gente a cuidar el medio ambiente de la que son parte, los cristianos a su vez 'se dan cuenta de que su responsabilidad dentro de la creación, y su deber hacia la naturaleza y el Creador, son una parte esencial de su fe "En este capítulo Francisco nos recuerda de la creación amorosa e intencional del Dios de la tierra a partir del caos y cómo Dios vio que era" muy bueno "(Gn 1:31). Francisco también pone adelante el recordatorio de la Biblia que debemos ser los "cultivadores y encargados" del jardín del mundo (Gn 2:15). Nuestro "dominio" sobre la tierra no significa que se toma el lugar de Dios, más bien como "labradores" cultivamos, el trabajo y el arado, y como "guardianes" que nos importa, proteger, preservar, y supervisar la creación de Dios. A través del tiempo ha habido individuos (Noé, Jesús, San Francisco, San Basilio, Dante, etc.) que nos recuerdan la importancia de la interconexión y la relación con toda la creación de Dios. Todos estamos "unidos por lazos invisibles y formamos una familia universal, una comunión sublime." Como seres humanos tenemos que reconocer nuestra relación entrelazada con Dios, todas las personas y la tierra. San Francisco de Asís modeló para nosotros el amor de toda la creación, que tenemos el deber de proteger. "El don de la tierra con sus frutos es de todos.” ¿Qué podemos hacer? Pg. 41 "La naturaleza es una fuente constante de asombro y admiración. También es una revelación continua de lo divino ". Acción: Dedique tiempo para experimentar lo sagrado de la naturaleza. Escuche el mensaje que le envió una "voz paradójica y silencioso". Pg.40 "El destino del universo está en la plenitud de Dios, que ya ha sido alcanzado por el Cristo resucitado." "Todas las criaturas están avanzando con nosotros ya través de nosotros hacia un punto de llegada que es Dios común." Acción: Medita en la dirección que Dios te está llamando. Pg. 44 "Debemos ser particularmente indignado por las enormes desigualdades en medio de nosotros, en que podamos seguir tolerando algunos considerándose más digno que otros. Nos dejar de ver que algunos están sumidos en la pobreza desesperada y degradantes, mientras que otros no tienen la menor idea de qué hacer con todas sus posesiones ". Acción: Cuando usted entra en contacto con una persona sin hogar, recuerde su dignidad innata y saludarlos con una sonrisa y una palabra amable. Pg. 46 obispos de Nueva Zelanda se les preguntó qué "no matarás" significa que cuando "el veinte por ciento de la población mundial consume recursos a un ritmo que le roba a las naciones pobres y las generaciones futuras de lo que necesitan para sobrevivir." Acción: Discuta con sus formas familiares para reducir su consumo y ser intencional acerca de sus hábitos de compra. ¿Qué podemos hacer?
