During this Christmas season, St. Bernard of Clairvaux calls us to take “courage, you who were lost: Jesus comes to seek and save that which is lost. Ye sick, return to health: Christ comes to heal the contrite of heart with the balm of his mercy. Rejoice, all you who desire great things: the Son of God comes down to you that he may make you the co-heirs of his kingdom.”
Because the Incarnate Word has taken on flesh and become man, we are called to be great and joyful givers back to God. Only God can give us the strength to take courage, to save what is lost, and repent. God gives us the strength to praise Him, even in the difficulties and chaos of the Christmas season. Amid the commerciality and noise, the Christ Child born in the piercing cold of winter reminds us of the importance of loving the least among us, especially children and families in need.
We are pleased to work with the The Catholic Times to highlight organizations that day in and day out help build a culture of life. We wanted to focus on those organizations that are in the more rural areas of our diocese or those that provide life-affirming pregnancy help throughout all 23 counties in the diocese.
With the alarming increase in the abortion pill, abortions are no longer confined to a clinic. They are happening at home. Oftentimes, women are alone and extremely vulnerable. With this being the case, our charity needs to extend further and deeper. Each of us is called to help be a missionary of God’s tender mercy and love. I hope that one of the fruits of the Christmas season will be that more people will feel called to help unborn children and mothers contemplating abortion.
It can be very intimidating to be pro-life. Or it may seem hard to find a concrete way to help. As Christ began his mission within a family, the pro-life mission all begins there. I had the opportunity to teach students at Chesterton Academy of St. Benedict about human life. I was surprised by the depth of their questions and the seriousness with which they contemplated this issue. It may be hard to discuss, but we need to foster conversations with our children. They need to know that no matter what the circumstances, life is always valuable and there is always support. We must teach our children moral courage and compassion.
In January, there is the National March for Life in Washington, D.C. I would encourage anyone who is able to attend. If you cannot make the trip, Adoration will be available at the Statehouse to pray for legal protection for the unborn. There will not be a Mass offered at St. Joseph Cathedral on Jan. 21, as has been the case in years past, since diocesan staff will be making a pilgrimage with the bishop to the March for Life.
In many ways, I hope and pray that the fruits of the Christmas season remain with the Office of Pro-Life Ministries. Life never comes into the world without a struggle. Even the Holy Family had a fair share of problems. We continue to collaborate with pregnancy help organizations to help mothers facing difficult circumstances. Soon, Project Rachel will be in the diocese. We are also working to help provide accompaniment to parents who have received adverse prenatal diagnoses, are experiencing a miscarriage, or who have lost a child. In every struggle, the Christ Child still wishes to comfort our hearts.
I humbly ask for your prayers that the Office of Pro-Life Ministries can help bring the love and joy of the Christ Child to all people, no matter the season.
Mary Parker Kristof is the associate director of the diocese’s Office of Pro-Life Ministries.
