USCCB Action Alert - US Bishops call to get informed and take action (Click pictures below)
RENEWED ACTION ALERTWRITE to CONGRESS TODAY -- The U.S. Bishops have serious objections to the "preventive services" regulation issued in August by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS). Study the issue & then write to Congress urging support for the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act here.
Responsible Citizenship is a virtue
By our baptism, Catholics are committed to following Jesus Christ and to be "salt for the earth, light for the nations." As the Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us, "It is necessary that all participate, according to his position and role, in promoting the common good. This is inherent in the dignity of the human person ... As far as possible citizens should take an active part in public life" (nos. 1913-1915).

The Presence of the Holy Spirit
We have a unique episode in the Acts of the Apostles today.
A whole roomful of people are baptized with the Holy Spirit before they are baptized with water!
The verb used - "the Holy Spirit 'fell' on them" (Acts 10:44) is characteristic of the way the Spirit works throughout the book of Acts: powerful and surprising. Though this "baptism" is not the normative way the New Testament describes baptism, it is still a good reminder today that the Holy Spirit is not controlled by whether or not we pour water, but rather that our sacramental signs reveal the presence of the Spirit at work among us. We have a double reinforcement of how this work is accomplished from a Letter and a Gospel bearing John's name.
It is love, self-sacrificing and self-giving love, that manifests the Spirit of Jesus in our midst. It is love that is the greatest of commandments. The Spirit is manifested equally through those who live in that love. -
