God's plans for Jesus were well-established <em>before</em> His human-divine birth, and were foretold by the angel to Mary. His cousin, John the Baptist, whose birth and life also fulfilled prophecy, leapt <em>in the womb</em> when Mary visited John's mother Elizabeth. The Bible clearly teaches that this was no coincidence. As a "fetus," John felt the presence of His Savior and expressed joy. God's plans for us, too, are created long before birth and our fulfillment of those plans begins at conception.</span> <span style="color:#ffff00;">As we joyfully reflect on our Savior's birth this season, may we prayerfully remember the lives of those who were denied the Father's gift of life by the tragic choice of abortion. May we pray that the hearts of those parents considering abortion be changed into hearts thankful for the gift of life. May those suffering from the consequences of abortion receive healing and forgiveness. May Herod's massacre of the innocent, which continues through abortion today, be brought to an end.</span> </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><strong><em></em></strong></div><div align="justify"><strong><em></em></strong></div><div align="justify"><strong><em></em></strong></div><div align="justify"><strong><em></em></strong></div><div align="justify"><strong><em></em></strong></div><div align="justify"><strong><em></em></strong></div><br /><div align="justify"><strong><em></em></strong></div><div align="justify"><strong><em>We remember this day, O God, the slaughter of the holy innocents of Bethlehem by the order of King Herod.

That means they have to be dealt with in a sensitive way; it does not mean they should be ignored. The impact of abortion on the lives of our people--physically, spiritually, and emotionally--is all the more reason for a shepherd to pay attention to these wounds, and to help people avoid them in the first place. Ministry necessarily involves confronting problems that provoke certain emotions within us and among our people. In this case, regarding abortion involves nothing less than life and death. </div><br /><div></div><div>Fr.
