Pray for the Transforming Power of God
Loving God, You called on each by name and gave Your only
Son to redeem us. In your faithfulness, You sent the Holy Spirit
to complete the mission of Jesus among us. Open our hearts to
Jesus. Give us the courage to speak His name to those who are
close to us and the generosity to share His love with those who
are far away. We pray that every person throughout the world
be invited to know and love Jesus as Savior and Redeemer. May
they come to know His all-surpassing love. May that love
transform every element of our society. We ask this through
Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

omen and men want happy, healthy, life-long
relationships built on trust, honesty, and
intimacy. But most of all, we want our relationships to
be built on real love. In todays society, understanding
real love can be difficult. As Catholics, we believe
Christ shows us the most perfect image of love: his
total gift on the Cross. We find the true meaning of our
lives when we imitate this total gift of self and draw our
strength from it.

Women and men profoundly and uniquely imitate this
love in marriage. They vow to give themselves to each
other, completely. Because of their sexual difference,
husband and wife can truly become one flesh.
Through the language of their bodies, their sexual
union recalls their vows: giving themselves to one
another in love that is total, faithful, and life-giving.
Their sexual love is meant to be an intimate
communion with the othermind, body, and soul
the whole person.

When a couple deliberately contracepts or sterilizes
their sexual union, they change the meaning of their
love and their relationship to God. In our hearts, we
know we are made for an incredible, an amazing, and a
natural love to be shared in communion with our
spouse. Contraception impedes and even breaks that
communion.

The impact of a contraceptive mentality is not isolated
to individual couples. The widespread use of
contraception impacts the entire culture, forming
societies to be self-seeking, not welcoming to new life.

Forty years ago the Church through Pope Paul VI
predicted that if contraception became widely available,
there would be a general lowering of moral standards,
that mens respect for women would decline, there
would be an increase in infidelity and the breakdown of
the family, and finally, governments would sanction or
mandate contraception in social policy. The most
intimate relationship of the couple would be
manipulated by public authorities.

Looking around the world today, it is difficult to ignore
the growing disregard for women and children, the
breakdown of marriage and family life, and the
increased threat of government coercion.

But the good news is that the Father raised his Son,
Jesus Christ, who, through the Holy Spirit, is always
inviting us to encounter him, and to accept his
invitation to be in full communion with him and with
each other. Thats why he gave us the Church, whose
task it is to guide every person toward a true and fully
loving relationship with God and with one another.


There has been much news lately about the Churchs teaching on contraception and sterilization.
As Catholics, we may be asking thoughtful questions or struggling to understand this teaching.
