MALLIA'S MOMENTS

by Fr. Joe Mallia

This is the final article in the series I started over two months ago. Having

undertaken the task of making the case for God is undeniably arrogant for

anyone to do, let alone someone like myself. Relying on the Scriptures and the

wisdom of great saints, I attempted to place before you an approach to answer

questions, quell doubts and lead you to a new-found basis upon which to

confidently place all your trust in God. I also hope that I sparked an interest in

you to learn more about the Bible and the teachings of the Catholic Church.

People in the world today are hesitant to really believe in God as opposed to

“a god.” They see “traditional” denominational religion as unable to address

issues in today’s world. “Spirituality” is more highly valued than having a

specific creed to adhere too. The flexibility of a “spirituality” that is self-created

and self-defined provides a person the luxury of adapting beliefs to personal

opinions, even if those beliefs are divergent from each other, rather than

adhering to a set of pre-defined or commanded beliefs. Whereas, “spirituality”

models a belief system to the temperament of the person, a religious tradition

seeks to guide a person’s understanding of self, others and the world.

Spirituality is self-focused which feeds the person’s sense of self-importance,

while a denominational religion invites people to recognize the value of

something greater than themselves.

It is religion’s challenge to each person to see the world through a lens other

than my own that makes it very rewarding. If I hold to a spirituality that I create,

the best I can do is benefit myself. If I hold to something greater than myself,

then I am truly capable of changing the world. Even though people say that

they want to “make a difference” in the world, they fail to grasp that the only way

to do that is to accept the path given

to us by God and found within the

teachings of the Catholic Church.

The world seems to say we want to

head in one direction, while heading

in the completely opposite direction

only to wonder why it has crashed.

There are many who believe

there is a God, but do not choose to

follow what God has revealed. I am

not sure how they find any logic in

that position. Then again, the world

is full of such ideological inconsis-

tencies. Many hold to the belief that

in a progressive society everyone

can hold to any truth as they would

create it or wish it to be. Such a

mindset is actually regressive

because it denies the power of

accepting an ultimate truth. When

this so-called progressive view is

unleashed, we have no ground to

stand on when evaluating societal

norms. For example; what is the

basis upon which we decry beliefs

that lead to terrorist attacks or mass

shootings on innocent victims? How

do we define hate speech or any

form of anti-social behavior? If all

things are equal, what makes

something more equal than

something else? The denial of an

ultimate truth leads down a slippery

slope to what eventually becomes

an intellectual and moral abyss from

which we cannot return.

Our Catholic response to the world

is to hold on to that which is true; that

God is real and that God has

revealed to us the manner in which

we are to live our lives. God’s law

provides a framework that when

followed breathes life into each

person and sets the parameters for a

just and fair society. But God also

holds us to accountability. There is a

clear path for those who choose to

MALLIA’S MOMENTS Continued from Page 1

follow God and those who do not. Actions do have

consequences and all things are not equal or good.

Acceptance of truth as God has shown us demands that

we are active in our faith; that it is not a pick and choose

system of belief and that we are consecrated to be a

living example of God’s loving presence in the world.

Thus, God must be first in our lives and above all things.

For the believer, worship of God is not an option.

Prayer must be at the heart of each day and each

activity. As disciples we serve those in need, we return

to the Lord from what God has given us and we place

our time and talent at the disposal of God. Through our

faithful response to God’s truth, we give witness to God

and provide others around us with a pathway to finding

this ultimate truth. Evangelization is done more by how

we live than by what we say. The Early Church gives us

a perfect example of this when the Scriptures record how

people were amazed at the manner in which the early

believers loved each other. This biblical text lead to the

popular song from the 1970’s, They Will Know We Are

Christians By Our Love.

This common path of life does not come from

everyone believing what they want. It is the result of

accepting a truth that is greater than the individual. A

faith community is ultimately a living witness to God’s

truth, manifested in word and action. It is not a cult that

seeks to deny individual gifts or thoughts. St. Paul

clearly teaches us that we are many parts which are

united in Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit like

the individual parts of a body.

In summary then, if we believe that there is a God and

that God has revealed the truth to us and if we believe

that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he came to save

us through his life, passion, death, resurrection and

ascension into heaven; then our response is clear. We

must answer by putting God first in our lives. We

must stop making excuses for not following the truth. We

pray daily. We go to mass each week. We serve. We

love. We forgive. We show compassion. We do what

Jesus taught us to do. That is the only response we

can give. It is the only response we should give in light

of truth; for everything else is a lie and is misguided.

The surest test that I have discovered in my own life

for determining what is the morally right thing to do is

this: if the statement begins with “I think” or “I feel”, the

direction I am heading in is wrong. On the other hand, if

the statement begins, “Jesus teaches me toD”, the path

I am on is heading in the right direction. As we move

forward, let us do so in confidence and not arrogance.

Let us live in love and not judgement of others. May we

place God’s love in our hearts and place our feet firmly

on the foundation of God’s truth. To God, be all glory,

praise and honor, now and forever. Amen.

Living Jesus’ Words

One major concept that is discussed in seventh grade

religion is the Kingdom of God. We understand it to be

the “power of God’s love active in our world.” To truly

spread God’s love, seventh grade has been very focused

on each individual Beatitude. We have read the

Beatitudes in text, we have heard them during mass, and

then it was time to truly live out our Beatitudes in order to

be active disciples. Each student was asked to choose

one Beatitude with a special meaning to them and

develop ways to live Jesus’ words. As seventh grade

students, they found that they are able to:

• “...use our free time to go and volunteer to help

other people.”�

(Matthew 5:3)

• “...stand up for people being bullied, teased, and

judged for their personalities/appearances.”�

(Matthew 5:6)

• “...realize that we are all human and we aren’t

perfect. We need to forgive those who have hurt

us and made a faultD”�

(Matthew 5:7)

• “...find Christ in others and make them the best

person they can be.”�

(Matthew 5:9)

Each of Jesus’ Beatitudes shares a message about the

promise of God’s blessings. By doing our best to live each

Beatitude, we will have a much better understanding of true

happiness.

A-fib Awareness

Did you know the human heart beats more than 100,000

times a day? At that pace, it’s no wonder you might feel

your heart skip a beat or flutter from time to time. Howev-

er, if you notice your heart suddenly races or if you have

uneven heartbeats that last several minutes, you may

have a condition known as atrial fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation (also called Afib) is a problem with the rate

or rhythm of the heartbeat. Your heart’s electrical system

tells your heart when to contract and pump blood to the

rest of your body. With Afib, these electrical signals short

circuit in a sense. This results in a chaotic, rapid heart

rate. You might feel short of breath, dizzy and overly tired,

though not everyone has these symptoms.

If you have Afib, you’re not alone. Afib affects more than

2.5 million Americans. If untreated, it can lead to blood

clots, stroke and heart failure. In fact, people with Afib are

five times more likely to have a stroke than people without

the condition.

The Blue Water Pregnancy

Care Center (Spero) Banquet

The evening of March 14 saw around 500 anti-

abortionists gather for the annual Blue Water

Pregnancy Care Center’s fund-raising banquet at

Solitude Links banquet hall. The event provided

not just a free, but excellent meal, and numerous

anti-abortion speakers, including Elisa, a young

woman who found Jesus and a new life for herself

and her daughter at the Center. In fact, Elisa’s

story was so compelling she was one of four from

over 3000 pregnancy care centers chosen and

scholar-shipped by Heartbeat International for the

“Babies go to Congress” program, where she and

a select few others got to talk to Congresspeople

and meet Vice President Pence and other major

anti-abortion figures in Washington D.C. during the

March for Life. Those of us in attendance at the

BWPCC banquet also got to hear many of the

“Everyday Heroes,” workers and volunteers at the

Center, many of whom also had compelling stories

of their own, either from being saved from

undergoing an abortion or having God’s healing

grace help them overcome their mistaken abortion

by means of now counseling pregnant young

women (and their male partners) to keep their baby

or allow it to be adopted to a grateful couple.

BWPCC, our parish charity organization, has been

renamed “Spero” (pronounced sparrow), Latin for

“Hope,” is something these often desperate

pregnant young women and couples need. And

the need is huge. St. Clair County is 13th in the

state in abortions with 247 women making this

dreadful choice, a number which would be much

higher without the efforts of BWPCC/Spero. Unlike

Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of

abortions in the U.S. and which is partly

government funded, BWPCC / Spero is a Christian

ministry which receives no government funding

and operates debt-free. Spero not only tries to

prevent abortions, but also helps the young

couples who choose to keep their babies and

counsels those who have chosen abortion (so as

to help them overcome their depression and live

wiser lives). To be specific, Spero last year had

2228 visits by young women, held 573 spiritual

conversations with them, made 27 conversions to

Jesus, gave 528 pregnancy tests, performed 376

ultrasounds, gave away 242 Bibles, and

saved numerous babies’ lives. Many of the

young women who see their baby via

Spero’s ultrasounds and heed the Christian

counseling of the Spero workers and

volunteers choose to keep the baby.

Clearly, they are doing God’s work.

As Jennifer MacDonald, the Director of

Spero, has said, “The task is to get the

awful facts of abortion out to these young

women (and potential fathers), offer them

hope, and give them help.” The help

consists of parenting classes, diapers,

baby food, etc., but most especially

counseling and emotional support.

As a member (and Secretary) of St. Clair

County Right to Life, I am proud so say that

a number of our parishioners attended and

worked at the banquet, currently do

volunteer work at Spero, and financially

support it. I’d like to end by reminding

everyone that Dr. C. Everett Coop, Surgeon

General in the Reagan Administration, said

that he never knew of a single case where

the life of the mother was really threatened

by a pregnancy, a false claim regularly made

by Planned Parenthood. Spero provides the

necessary kind of support for life at their

facility at 1211 Griswold, Port Huron.

Yours for Pro-Life, Tom Obee,

A fellow parishioner and

one of your representatives at

St. Clair County Right to Life
