More Reflections On the Popes Visit to the Philippines About Crying This reply is a continuation
of what the Pope considers most moving moment in his Philippines visit during the inflight interview back to
Rome. He was asked about what was the touching moment of his visit. The other thing is the weeping. One of
the things that is lost when there is too much wealth or when values are misunderstood or we have become
accustomed to injustice, to this culture of waste, is the capacity to cry. This is a grace we must ask for. There is a
beautiful prayer in the ancient missal, for crying. It went more or less like this: Lord, you who have made it so that
Moses with his cane could make water flow from a stone, make it so that from the rock that is my heart, the water
of tears may flow. Its a beautiful prayer. We Christians must ask for the grace to cry, especially well-to-do
Christians. And cry about injustice and cry about sins. Because crying opens you to understand new realities, or
new dimensions to realities. This is what the girl said, what I said to her. She was the only one to ask that question
to which there is no answer, why do children suffer? The great Dostoyevsky asked himself this, and he could not
answer. Why do children suffer? She, with her weeping, a woman who was weeping. When I say it is important
that women be held in higher consideration in the church, its not just to give them a function as the secretary of
a disaster, though this could be ok too. No, its so that they may tell us how they feel and view reality. Because
women view things from a different richness, a larger one. Another thing I would like to underscore is what I said
to the last young man (at the meeting with young people), who truly works well, he gives and gives and gives, he
organizes to help the poor. But dont forget that we too need to be beggars, from them, from the poor. Because
the poor evangelize us. If we take the poor away from the Gospel, we cannot understand Jesus message. The
poor evangelize us. I go to evangelize the poor, yes, but let you be evangelized by them. Because they have values
that you do not.

Marriage and Family Life Week Celebration February 8-14! Next weekend we will be celebrating
Marriage and Family Life Week! "The upcoming observances of National Marriage Week (Feb. 7-14), World
Marriage Sunday (Sunday, Feb. 8), and Valentine's Day (Feb. 14) provide an opportunity to celebrate the gift and
blessing of marriage and to affirm and support engaged and married couples," says Bishop Richard Malone.
The Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth offers the following resources to bishops, priests,
deacons, married couples, and lay men and women to help celebrate and live the great gift of married life. If you
have internet access, you may go to the USSCB website and click on the link of the celebration. Our diocese has
lined up activities that couples can participate in to strengthen their married life. You may access them at our
diocesan website, cdowk.org. We also have an insert in this weekends bulletin for your guidance and reflection.
Thank God for A Peaceful March For Life! We are glad the pilgrims are back safe to the diocese. Bishop
Kemme went to lead the group from Wichita. We are proud of Pat Westhoff for continually volunteering to go.
There were three others from Saint Michael parish who went with their respective schools group Madison
Smith, Hayden Bauer and Audrey Bauer. We are proud and thankful for their participation. I am asking anyone
who would be interested to organize a group from our parishes in Girard and Arma or to join the group for
March For Life next year (we will not stop until the law allowing abortion is reversed) please let me know. As the
March For Life this year is done, we are still encouraged to continue to pray for the end of this heinous crime of
aborting babies! Those in favor of it are definitely blinded by the lies of the devil of the immorality and evil of
this act. May the grace of our loving Father soften the hearts of those people. May our legislature open their
minds and hearts for Gods guidance and have the moral courage to stand for the truth, even to the point of
endangering their political popularity!
Congratulations and Welcome to the Catholic Community: Lucas David Garrett, the son of Craig and
Jaycie Jacob Garrett, receives the sacrament of baptism this Saturday by Fr. John Fogliasso. Fr. John is a
classmate of Craig. He presided over Craig and Jaycies wedding and now he is privileged to baptize their first
baby. What a blessing for both the family and Fr. John. Please pray for Lucas David Garrett and his family.
