Year for Priests Pope Benedict XVI, in order to "encourage priests in ... striving for spiritual perfection on which, above all, the effectiveness of their ministry depends," has established a special "Year for Priests" from June 19, 2009, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to June 19, 2010. The Year for Priests coincides with the 150th anniversary on August 4 of the death of St. John Vianney, the Curé of Ars, patron of diocesan priests. (A first-class relic of St. John Vianney is one of the four saints' relics in the altar at Christ the King.) Plenary indulgences for both priests and laity will be available as part of the celebration. For more information on this special year, including prayers and information about indulgences, go to the USCCB's Year for Priests Web site, www.usccb.org/yearforpriests.

Living in Love Married Couples Retreat coming July 25-26 "Living in Love," a mini-retreat workshop for married couples designed to energize the romance and renew the excitement of being in love, is returning to Christ the King July 25-26, 2009. The workshop is a series of presentations followed by questions for reflection and private couple time. Couples who have attended in the past have found the retreat to be refreshingly positive, practical, energizing, and affirming, with lots of fun and laughter mixed in. The cost of $135 per couple includes all materials, refreshments, lunch on both days, and a romantic Saturday evening meal. Space is limited.

I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love, and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts.--Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
