Scriptural Readings
for the Week of February 26th
First Sunday of Lent Gn 9:8-15; 1 Pt 3:18-22; Mk 1:12-15

A Statement by the Catholic Bishops of ew Jersey

Marriage as a Union of One Man and One Woman January 20, 2012
Isnt prohibiting Same-sex marriage unjust discrimination?

No. We must always remember that every person has an inherent dignity. Like all other human beings, our homosexual brothers and sisters are Monday beloved children of God. As a result, the Catholic Church affirms that they Lv 19:1-2, 11-18; Mt 25:31-46 must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in this regard should be avoided (Catechism of the Tuesday Catholic Church no. 2358). Is 55:10-11; Mt 6:7-15 Clearly, the fundamental human rights of a homosexual person must be Wednesday defended, and everyone must strive to eliminate any form of unjust oppresJon 3:1-10; Lk 11:29-32 sion or violence against a homosexual person. Thursday But it is not unjust discrimination to treat different things differently. Est C:12, 14-16, 23-25; Same-sex unions are not, in fact, the same things as the union of one man Mt 7:7-12 and one woman in marriage. One type of union may ever generate children, First Friday Ez 18:21-28; Mt 5:20-26 First Saturday Dt 26:16-19; Mt 5:43-48 the other may never; one type of union respects and expresses the inherent complementarity of man and woman; the other does not. Therefore, treating one type of union as marriage and the other not, is not only permitted, but required. Indeed, it is treating this differentiation as bigotry that constitutes an injustice.

PARISH-WIDE LENTEN PROJECT

When we see or hear about the tremendous suffering of the poor, we may feel helpless. The problem seems immense. But if you think about helping just one person or one family at a time, suddenly youll realize that you can make a difference. By working together, the community of Our Lady of Peace can make a difference. Just 200 families saving 50 cents a day for the 40 days of Lent will save $4,000 -- enough to provide a family with the following: new house with sanitation shoes, clothing rice and beans for one full year small business project to help provide a source of income school supplies, books and uniforms for two children. Please look for the Operation Starfish box on the back tables of the church. Religious Education children will bring them home the week of February 27, 2012.
