I’m grateful for the near half-inch of rain being held by our cisterns this morning! I’m also grateful that the Amarillo Diocese is abortion free! Bishop Zurek has been devoted to promoting “a pro-life, pro-marriage and pro-family message in our area, which has been so blessed (with the exception of water) by our Savior, Jesus Christ,” ; but in regards to how we have, “entered and defiled (God’s) land” His Excellency, “asked not, ‘Where is the LORD?'” Our Head, “who dealt with law knew (Laudato si’) not”.
“With you is the fountain of life, O Lord”, . Guide our diocese in joining with you in showing mercy so that our children “have their fill of the prime gifts of your house”, and drink from your “delightful stream”.
Why have the “mysteries of the Kingdom’ been revealed to us in the Diocese of Amarillo in regards to abortion, but not, “On Care for Our Common Home”?
“Because knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom of heaven
has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted.
To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich;
from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
MT 13: 11-12
We understand better the importance and meaning of each creature if we contemplate it within the entirety of God’s plan.
from paragraph #86, Laudato si’
“menaced by shortsighted and selfish actions” younger generations are “anxiously asking us adults to do everything possible to prevent, or at least limit, the collapse of our planet’s ecosystems.”
Pope Francis
