Statement from U.S. Bishops on Supreme Court marriage decisions

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Supreme Court decisions June 26 striking down part of the Defense of Marriage Act and refusing to rule on the merits of a challenge to California’s Proposition 8 mark a “tragic day for marriage and our nation,” said Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, chair of the U.S. bishops’ Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage.

Encontrar la belleza en el sacerdocio

Esta columna es la comunicación del Obispo con los fieles de la Diócesis de Madison. Cualquier circulación más amplia va más allá de la intención del Obispo.

Queridos amigos:

“El amor por Cristo nos obliga” (2 Cor 5:14)”, dice la segunda carta a los Corintios. Ese amor, que se ha manifestado en la persona de Cristo, es la cosa más hermosa que podría haber. Es hermosa porque es el amor de Dios. Él es amor y Él es la belleza misma.

Y durante este Año de la Fe hemos estado contemplando desde varias perspectivas la belleza del Señor, como una forma de invitar a la gente a encontrarse con Él de modo que cambie la vida a través de la Nueva Evangelización.

Luego de haber celebrado recientemente la ordenación de tres nuevos y maravillosos sacerdotes, me gustaría decir algunas cosas sobre la belleza del sacerdocio, que compartí con quienes estuvieron presentes esa gran noche. El amor que nos impele y su belleza son puestos de manifiesto de manera especial en el sacramento de las Órdenes Sagradas.

La belleza del rito de ordenación

El sacerdocio es hermoso porque Jesús recrea al sacerdote de una forma nueva de modo que el ser anterior muere. En la ordenación, el sacerdote se postra ante el altar. Está acostado allí como si muriera y se levantase con la resurrección, hacia la novedad de haber sido cambiado en lo más profundo de su alma a imagen de Cristo Sacerdote.

St. Vincent de Paul opens pharmacy in Madison

MADISON — For years, people have come to the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry on Fish Hatchery Rd. in Madison to get a helping hand to feed themselves and their families.

Now, just one floor below the pantry, people with nowhere else to turn can get assistance with their medications.

Helping those who need it

Since early April, a stand-alone, charitable pharmacy has been serving local low-income clients, who don’t have insurance or any other coverage option.

Clients can use valid prescriptions at the new pharmacy from physicians and other licensed prescribers.

Sister brings joy to others despite terminal cancer

CROSS PLAINS — There’s a special parking space in front of St. Francis Xavier’s parish office — a cone with lots of markings letting people know — this spot is reserved for Sister John Rose.

In recent weeks, you could see signs all around Cross Plains asking for prayers and encouraging her to, “Hang in there, Sister!” I found her inside the church, moving around the facility, attending to visitors.  She was willing to take a little time to talk about her recent diagnosis.

Sr. John Rose Acker has been involved in pastoral ministry at St. Francis Xavier Parish in Cross Plains for 23 years, where she ministers to the sick, elderly, and dying. Prior to that, she was a teacher for 32 years. She celebrates 62 years as a School Sister of St. Francis this year.

La Madre Bendita nos ayudará a vencer el mal

Esta columna es la comunicación del Obispo con los fieles de la Diócesis de Madison. Cualquier circulación más amplia va más allá de la intención del Obispo.

Queridos amigos:

Para los que quieren ver, no hace falta mirar mucho para darse cuenta del mal que nos rodea. Mentiras y engaño, violencia y homicidio, odio y malicia, y cada vez con más frecuencia, el mal tratado como virtud.

Este mal, causado por el pecado del hombre, nos rodea, divide a nuestras familias, a nuestra Iglesia, nuestro país y nuestro mundo. Por eso y hasta ahora el Papa Francisco ha mencionado al mal y al demonio en una buena cantidad de sus discursos y homilías. El mal es real y prevalece.

Llamado a la Nueva Evangelización

Esta es también la razón por la que especialmente nuestros Papas recientes han hecho un llamado a la Nueva Evangelización. Es vitalmente importante para nosotros “ir a todo el mundo y proclamar el Evangelio” (Mc 16:15).
