Wednesday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time| Rebuked

Reading 1

Responsorial Psalm

Alleluia

Gospel

On this 6th day of the Season of Creation, can the Gospel bear fruit and grow in me, if instead of trusting in the mercy of God I join with the arrogant opposing the Synod, and rather than bringing goods news to the poor, I bring down God’s judgment upon myself for hypocritically banqueting, banning, walking and marching against pro-abortionist while, since it gets me what I want, I remain silent about the violence of abortion used by MAGA on innocents from conception to 15 weeks; for this should I not be rebuked and not allowed to speak at the Synod❓

From September 1 – October 4, the Christian family unites worldwide in prayer and action for creation during the Season of Creation. The 2023 theme is “Let Justice and Peace Flow.”

“in this Season of Creation, as followers of Christ on our shared synodal journey, we may live, work, and pray so that our common home will teem with life once again.”

Pope Francis

Another encyclical from the Pope on protecting the environment? Please, give me a break. How about an encyclical on protecting the #unborn from #abortion, which has claimed far more lives than climate change, pandemics, wars, the death penalty, or anything else!

When we fail to acknowledge as part of reality the worth of a poor person, a human embryo, a person with disabilities – to offer just a few examples – it becomes difficult to hear the cry of nature itself; everything is connected. 

Laudato si, paragraph 117
