Make No Mistake About It
Embryonic stem cell research is immoral! The debate is raging throughout the US concerning the destruction of embryo's for the sake of research, Even Pope John 11 personally talked to President Bush over this abuse of creation. President Bush knows what is right. Pray that lie does the right thing and not what is politically expedient.
I am affected by this more than most because there is a neurological disease in my family called Huntington's (I have taken pre-symptomatic genetic test and I am negative). This disease destroys brain cells. It is what took my father's life and a number of my relatives' lives. Yet I do not want human lives destroyed in order to further research on this disease that afflicts my family. Do not be fooled by the rhetoric that tries to justify the destruction of embryos (human life) in the name of research. We are not to kill in order to cure. There is more to life than just our bodies and health, In the US we are always looking at the outside. Having a healthy body or a body that looks good doesn't satisfy the soul. If we would spend as much time on our beans and minds as we do on our bodies we would be a lot happier. So don't be taken in by those who are only concerned about the exterior. Every action has moral implications and embryonic stem cell research is morally flawed. Make your faith known - keep America from being more anti-life.

"Every Catholic is a missionary of the Good News of human dignity redeemed through the cross. While our personal vocation may determine the form and style of our witness, Jesus calls each of us to be a leaven in society. and we will be judged by our actions. No one, least of all someone who exercises leadership in society, can rightfully claim to share fully and practically the Catholic faith and yet act publicly in a way contrary to that faith" (US Bishops, Living the Gospel of Life 1998, n.7).

DE NUESTRO PARROCO ........................
No cometa Errores Sobre Esto
Los experimentos con células de embriones es inmoral Hay un debate en todos los Estados Unidos concerniente a la destrucción de celulas de embriones para el beneficio de las investigaciones científicas. El Papa Juan Pablo II habló personalmente con el Presidente Bush sobre este abuso a la creación. El Presidente Bush sabe lo que es correcto. Oremos para que haga lo corrrecto y no lo políticamente conveniente.
Yo estoy afectado por esto más que otros, porque en mi familia hay una condición neurólogica que se llama el mal Huntington, (yo me sometí a un examen genetico para comprobar si habían síntomas y soy negativo). La enfermedad destruye las células del celebro. Esta enfermedad causó la muerte de mis padre, y de otros parientes más. Apesar de eso yo no apoyo que se destruyan vidas humanas para hacer investigaciones, las que pueden ayudar a mi familares. No se deje engañar por la retórica que quiere justificar la destrucción de embriones, (vidas humanas), en nombre de las investigaciones. No debenios matar para curar. Hay más en la vida que el cuerpo humano y la salud En los Estados Unidos sólo miramos lo de afuera. Teniendo un cuerpo saludable o que se vea bien no satisface el alma. Si le dedicaramos tanto tiempo a nuestro corazón y a la mente como le didicamos a nuestro cuerpo seriamos mucho más felices. Así que no se deje engañar por los que sólo miran al exterior. Toda acción tiene implicaciones morales y las investigaciones con embriones tiene imperfecciones morales. Muestre su fe - mantenga América libre de la tendencia antivida.
La Biblia en la Vida Diaria
EL YUGO QUE LES PONGO Y LA CARGA QUE LES DOY A LLEVAR SON LIGEROS."
Según una leyenda muy antigua. Jesús el carpintero era experto en la construcción de los yugos. Como ustedes saben, el yugo es un tipo de tabla de madera, larga y algo pesada, que se hace a la medida para poner sobre los hombros de dos bueyes para que, mientras caminan lado a lado, para que actúen y trabajen como equipo. El chiste está en diseñar y pulir la madera para que no roce tú irrite los hombros de los animles, produciendo heridas.
Según la leyenda, Jesús se especilizaba en yugos y colgó un letrero sobre la entrada de su carpintería anunciando que "mís yugos son suave y ligeros."
La lectura de hoy nos dice que quien sigue el consejo de Jesús: "ama a Dios y a tus hermanos", vivie su vida en unión con Jesús. Como un yugo, el mandato de amor nos conecta al Señor igual que un yugo a los dos animales. Y cuando nos juntamos asi con Jesús, él nos presta su poder y su energía y, ligados con él, creamos un ambiente de amor en nuestro mundo. Así su yugo - no nos esclaviza; nos libra.
