Message from Father Pergjini:
My announcement of last Sunday, that I will be leaving the parish next month, caused pain to many of our faithful people. I saw many teary eyes that made me feel their pain and my pain. This Friday, January 24th, as a parish we will be going to join thousands of people for March for Life. Since 1992, I have been going every single year. I have beautiful memories marching for hours with students and many faithful parishioners who sacrificed to come to the March for life. This time as I am preparing myself for the long trip, and the pain leaving all of you, I still find the time to write a few words regarding the importance of life from conception to natural death. During the fall season, I got a very touching email from one of our faithful parishioners. In 1986, when she was expecting her son, her mother gave as a gift a plaque with a very powerful and beautiful poem. She kept that precious gift to share with others the touching words which are very deep and profound. Finally, she gave the beautiful poem to her daughter who was expecting a baby. I read and reread that powerful poem.
Baby’s Coming The months pass so very quickly for one who is warm and seemingly, safely, floating in a womb of love. Please play me soft music, talk and touch my movements tenderly and show each other much love. For believe it or not, I can feel these sensations through my small body. I am speaking to you with my inner voice for every soul holds one of these within the depths of its spirit. I am already a soul, a person in my own right though slightly unfamiliar with your world. From whence I come, things are slightly different, for there is not the bodily movements for one to become accustomed. Always take into your body proper nourishment, exercise well, protect me from pollutants and think thoughts of the highest, for my day to day growth depends upon none less than these. As I stretch, kick, hiccup or even suck my thumb, I am becoming anxious to join you in your world and sometimes trying very hard to get your attention. I will do this a lot after I arrive and I am preparing you for the great amount of care I will need till I find my footing and my outer speaking voice. And most of all, welcome me gently, for I will be quite startled for a time with the lights, shadows, and sounds of your earth. I am even looking forward to the challenge and pressures of birth, for I know you will be working with me and it will bring me face to face with those who have loved me spiritually, not even knowing my physical self. Would you believe, my nourishment is al-ready being prepared at my Mother’s breast? Isn’t life remarkable? The very best part of your love for me, now, is the coming day when I might show you my love in return. It is not so very far away, for you are already teaching me love I can feel it, I am a miracle, I am Happy….I am your child. 1982 Carol Filchett
After reading one can find peace and joy trying to enter into the world of a innocent human creature who is conceived in the mother's womb moving within it and growing day after day. It is a monologue. The baby in the womb tenderly speaks to the dear mother, and she is listening and rejoicing that soon the one who is to come into the world will embrace her with love, and she will take care of him/her with greater love. As I reflect upon the beauty of this poem, my mind cannot limit itself only on the touching words of this poem. The tragic reality of abortion brings pain and sadness. Many mothers to be, as matter of fact they are already mothers since they are carrying a baby in their womb, come to a cruel decision to end the life of an innocent human being. The movement of the baby within the womb always speaks a spiritual and silent message in the heart, mind, and soul of the mother and father. Unfortunately, many of them do not listen that voice but they listen to the evil voice to commit a murder by talking an innocent human life. May all of us who are aware of our sacredness of life promote and defend the human life from the conception to natural death. Thank you dear faithful parishioner for sharing with us your beautiful gift received from your dear mother, now sharing with your dear daughter and sharing with us too. May the one who speaks within the womb of a mother touch the hearts, minds, and souls of those who do plan to end an innocent human life. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! Amen!

Mensaje del Padre Pergjini: Mi anuncio del domingo pasado, de que me iré de la parroquia el próximo mes, causó dolor a muchos de nuestros fieles. Vi muchos ojos llorosos que me hicieron sentir su dolor y mi dolor. Este viernes 24 de enero, como parroquia, nos uniremos a miles de personas para la Marcha por la Vida. Desde 1992, he estado yendo todos los años. Tengo hermosos recuerdos marchando durante horas con estudiantes y muchos feligreses fieles que se sacrificaron para venir a la Marcha por la vida. Esta vez, mientras me estoy preparando para el largo viaje, y el dolor que los deja a todos, todavía encuentro el tiempo para escribir algunas palabras sobre la importancia de la vida desde la concepción hasta la muerte natural. Durante la temporada de otoño, recibí un correo electrónico muy conmovedor de uno de nuestros fieles feligreses. En 1986, cuando esperaba a su hijo, su madre le regaló una placa con un poema muy poderoso y hermoso. Ella mantuvo ese precioso regalo para compartir con otros las palabras conmovedoras que son muy profundas y profundas. Finalmente, le dio el hermoso poema a su hija que esperaba un bebé. Leí y releí ese poderoso poema.
La llegada del bebé Los meses pasan muy rápido para alguien que es cálido y aparentemente seguro flotando en una matriz de amor. Por favor, tóqueme música suave, hable y toque mis movimientos con ternura y muéstrese mucho amor. Por creerlo o no, puedo sentir estas sensaciones a través de mi pequeño cuerpo. Te estoy hablando con mi voz interior porque cada alma tiene uno de estos dentro de las profundidades de su espíritu. Ya soy un alma, una persona por derecho propio, aunque no estoy familiarizado con tu mundo. De donde vengo, las cosas son un poco diferentes, ya que no hay movimientos corporales para acostumbrarse. Siempre tome en su cuerpo una alimentación adecuada, haga ejercicio bien, protéjame de los contaminantes y piense en los pensamientos más elevados, ya que mi crecimiento diario depende de nada menos que esto. A medida que me estiro, pateo, hipo o incluso me chupo el pulgar, estoy ansioso por unirme a ti en tu mundo y, a veces, me esfuerzo mucho para llamar tu atención. Lo haré mucho después de llegar y te estoy preparando para la gran cantidad de atención que necesitaré hasta que encuentre mi equilibrio y mi voz hablada. Y, sobre todo, dame la bienvenida con suavidad, porque me sorprenderé por un tiempo con las luces, las sombras y los sonidos de tu tierra. Incluso estoy deseando que llegue el desafío y las presiones del nacimiento, porque sé que trabajarás conmigo y me enfrentará cara a cara con aquellos que me han amado espiritualmente, sin siquiera conocer mi físico. ¿Creería que mi alimento ya se está preparando en el pecho de mi madre? ¿No es la vida notable? La mejor parte de tu amor por mí, ahora, es el día que viene cuando podría mostrarte mi amor a cambio. No está muy lejos, porque ya me estás enseñando amor, puedo sentirlo, soy un milagro, soy feliz ... Soy tu hijo. 1982 Carol Filchett
Después de leer, uno puede encontrar paz y alegría tratando de entrar en el mundo de una criatura humana inocente que está concebida en el útero de la madre moviéndose dentro de ella y creciendo día tras día. Es un monologo. El bebé en el útero habla con ternura a la querida madre, y ella está escuchando y regocijándose de que pronto el que vendrá al mundo la abrazará con amor, y ella lo cuidará con mayor amor. Al reflexionar sobre la belleza de este poema, mi mente no puede limitarse solo a las conmovedoras palabras de este poema. La trágica realidad del aborto trae dolor y tristeza. Muchas madres, de hecho, ya son madres, ya que llevan un bebé en el útero, toman una decisión cruel para poner fin a la vida de un ser humano inocente. El movimiento del bebé dentro del útero siempre habla un mensaje espiritual y silencioso en el corazón, la mente y el alma de la madre y el padre. Desafortunadamente, muchos de ellos no escuchan esa voz, pero escuchan la voz malvada para cometer un asesinato al hablar de una vida humana inocente. Que todos los que somos conscientes de nuestra santidad de la vida, promovamos y defendamos la vida humana desde la concepción hasta la muerte natural. Gracias querido fiel feligrés por compartir con nosotros su hermoso regalo recibido de su querida madre, ahora compartiendo con su querida hija y compartiendo con nosotros también. Que quien habla dentro del útero de una madre toque los corazones, las mentes y las almas de aquellos que planean terminar con una vida humana inocente. ¡Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, ten piedad de nosotros! ¡Amén!
