Planning for ‘40 Days’ in Madison
MADISON — The volunteer meeting for Madison’s 40 Days for Life vigil was highlighted with the news of an abortion clinic ceasing operations in Green Bay. That development is serving as motivation to help the same thing happen here.
The next 40 Days for Life is scheduled to take place Wednesday, Sept. 25 through Sunday, Nov. 3. The effort calls for people to come out and pray near abortion clinics to help end abortion.
Encouraging a culture of vocations
“We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven while we were with him on the holy mountain” (2 Pt. 1:16-19).
This is my prayer for each of you who are reading this article and especially for each of the seminarians for the Diocese of Madison.
How beautiful it is when we hear the voice of God speak to us personally and we respond by following him, like SS. Peter, James, and John at the Transfiguration.
Seminarians thank Lumen Christi Society members for support
While they were in Madison for their annual gathering, seminarians for the Diocese of Madison met with members of the Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) Lumen Christi Society to show their appreciation for their support of the ACA. Bishop Robert C. Morlino hosted the reception held at the Bishop O’Connor Center in Madison.
El deseo del corazón es amar y ser amados por Dios

Queridos amigos:
El domingo pasado, nuestro Santo Padre se refirió al tema preciso en el que he estado meditando la semana pasada, el hecho de que cómo el encuentro con Jesucristo afecta nuestras vidas.
Como recordarán, en mi columna previa hice referencia a nuestra misión diocesana, que es “servimos para asegurar que todos los individuos en esta diócesis de 11 condados sean amablemente invitados todos los días a encontrarse cara a cara con Jesucristo, resucitado de entre los muertos, y que sean transformados por Él”.
El Papa Francisco, en sus palabras antes del Ángelus, comenzó preguntando dónde es que se encuentra nuestro tesoro, “¿cuál es la realidad más importante para mí, la realidad que atrae mi corazón como a un magneto?”
Debe ser, dijo el Santo Padre, nuestro amor por Dios. Enfatizó la realidad de que donde está nuestro tesoro allí está nuestro corazón, pero que para recibir el verdadero tesoro, necesitamos realmente tener un corazón que desee. “Realmente es un hombre pobre, quien no tiene deseos”, dijo. Debemos tener corazones que sean guiados por el deseo, no corazones que estén muertos o “anestesiados” por todo aquello con lo que hemos llenado nuestras vidas. ¿Entonces, deseas? ¿Y estás listo para buscar aquello que verdaderamente responderá a tus deseos?
