You're in the homestretch with your spiritually adopted baby. All of the organs that were developed by the 8th week are now basically completely formed. The baby is just gaining weight now and making the mother un-comfortable with his or her size. An interesting detail about this time of development is that the eyes are usually blue, regardless of the perma-nent color. The final formation of eye pigment or color usually happens a few weeks after birth. In a short time the baby will be born. The mother
has planned to bring him or her home, or place the baby for adop-tion. Either way, she knows she can receive the assistance she needs
from the Catholic Church and from crisis pregnancy centers. The prayers you have said for this baby and his or her mother have certainly been
appreciated and helpful. It hasn't been easy, but your prayers have given the baby's mother the grace to seek the help she has needed throughout
the pregnancy.
Pro-Life Meditations The 2nd Sorrowful Mystery: The Scourging
As Christ's flesh was torn by the instruments of those who scourged Him, so the bodies of in the womb are torn by the instruments of the abortion-ists. Let us pray that the abortionists may repent of these acts of child-
killing.

Holy Week Services
Addiction is a spiritual illness that disconnects a
person from self, loved ones, and God. The Sub-
stance Addiction Ministry (SAM) mission is to help
these individuals reconnect through education, pre-
vention, referral, and family support.
SAM provides education awareness of the pain in
people's lives; and refers those in need to places
where help can be found. Support, acceptance, un-
derstanding, and healing are extended to those
touched by addiction.
In any addiction the entire family is "Affected" not
just the "Afflicted" member. For every person
"afflicted," at least four others are
"affected." Nothing can destroy a family or rela-
tionship quicker than addiction. If there is an ad-
dict or alcoholic in the family, the whole family
needs to be treated.
SAM group meetings are open to both afflicted as
well as affected members of the community. Alt-
hough the Substance Addiction Ministry is conduct-
ed by the local Catholic parish church, it is open to
all members of the community who are seeking
help with addiction.
Our SAM group at St Angela will meet on the 2nd
and 4th Monday of the month in the Religious Edu-
cation Library (901 Beverly Garden Drive) at
7:00pm. Our meetings will focus on education, re-
ferral, and spiritual help. Speakers will be invited
who are experts in various aspects of addic-
tion. You do not need to RSVP, simply show up.

The 3rd Sorrowful Mystery: The Crowing with Thorns
Jesus suffered the pain of thorns in His head, and did so silently. We pray for the mothers and fa-
thers of aborted children. So many of them suffer deep grief and regret over a choice they can never reverse. So many suffer in silence, because oth-
ers tell them it's no big deal.

The 3rd Sorrowful Mystery: The Carrying of the Cross
Jesus was not condemned by the power of wicked people. Silence always helps the oppressors, nev-er the victim. Let us pray that we may never be silent about abortion, but rather will clearly speak
up to save babies from death.
