The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD)
These days it is not hard to imagine having to choose between rent or health care, food or transportation, Household bills or clothing for your children.
For many Americans, these
choices are forced by a recent layoff, pay freeze, or retirement fund
decrease. For 37 million Americans who live below the poverty line, the
options are only diminishing.
The Catholic Campaign for
Human Development (CCHD) makes a difference in low-income communities
by funding programs that
address the root causes of poverty. More than ever, CCHD needs your support
in today's Collection. Thank you for your generosity.

The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but, in your
mercy,
hear and answer me. Amen.

PRO LIFE NEWS AT CHRIST THE KING
MARRIAGE: LOVE AND LIFE IN THE DIVINE PLAN (Nov. 2009)
A Pastoral Letter by the Catholic Bishops of the United
States
Marriage as a Christian Sacrament
Although marriage remains a blessing from God, Original
Sin has had grave consequences for married life. As a
break with God, it ruptured the original communion
between man and woman.
Jesus healed this rupture when he raised marriage to the
dignity of a sacrament. In marriage a man and woman
become one flesh. They love each other as they love
themselves and cherish each other's bodies as their own.
This union is an image of Christ’s love for his Church.
Spouses are called to give themselves to each other as
fully as Christ gave himself to his Church.
When the baptized spouses exchange their promises of
loving and permanent fidelity before the Church, their
marriage covenant becomes a participation in the
unbreakable covenant between Christ and the Church. The
Holy Spirit binds the spouses together and enables them
to perform acts of self-giving love to the benefit of
themselves, their families, and the whole Church. In
this way their marriage does more than symbolize
Christ’s love; it makes that love present in the world.
In order to imitate Christ’s love for his Church, the
relationship between man and woman needs healing. Their
relationship is not a one-sided subjection of the wife
to the husband, but a mutual subjection of husband and
wife, following St. Paul’s charge to “be subordinate to
one another out of reverence for Christ” (Eph 5:21)
