Please join in the fight to protect the conscience rights of our citizens by opposing the HHS Mandate: EHB 1044, which is due for a hearing in the Washington State Senate Health Care Committee on Monday, April 1st at 10:00am. Archbishop Sartain will testify against this bill. Click on the action alert from the Washington State Catholic Conference to read more about the issue and follow the link on the bottom of the page to "Take Action!"
As I mentioned in my post regarding today's gospel reading about Judas who betrays Jesus and Simon Peter who denies Jesus, we can not simply stand still or flee the foot of the cross. We can not deny or betray Jesus...not on an issue that presents a clear challenge to the conscience rights of those who do not wish to participate in health plans which support abortion!
On a little bit of a lighter note, the Archdiocese of Saint Louis put together a simple 16-second video outlining what the HHS Mandate is about and why we need to stand up for and fight for the protection of religious liberty.
May our celebrations of the Lord's Supper, Passion, Death and Resurrection renew in us our dedication to protect and defend the most vulnerable of God's children, the Unborn.
Jesus tells a Samaritan woman that all who worship God must worship Him “in Spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) My hope is that, through my personal reflections and experiences on the public work or service of the people, many may not only worship, but also come to know Him in Spirit and Truth.
