We hear in the Gospel that theJewish believers accompanying Peterare shocked when the Spirit comesupon the Gentiles. Love and inclusionare clearly to be part of this new Churchestablished by Jesus. Whoever fearsGod and acts uprightly is acceptable tohim. Who are we to act differently?

REFLECTIONS ON LIFE

“Our president ought to look at whatabortion has done to poor and minoritywomen in this country… ‘The abortionrate (number of abortions per 1,000women of child-bearing age) for black women is almost five times that of white women,’ according to SusanCohen of the Alan GuttmacherInstitute. Cohen also notes that ‘theabortion rate among Hispanic womenis double the rate amongwhites.’”
