Introductory Note to 

Faithful Citizenship 

The following is the Introductory Note to the United 

States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ statement 

Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship. 

The entire Faithful Citizenship statement and 

numerous support materials may be found at 

www.faithfulcitizenship.org. 

The Catholic Bishops of the United States 

are pleased to re-propose to our people Forming 

Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, our teaching 

document on the political responsibility of 

Catholics. This statement, overwhelmingly adopted 

by the body of bishops in 2007, represents the 

continuing teaching of our Bishops’ Conference 

and our guidance for Catholics in the exercise 

of their rights and duties as participants in our 

democracy. We urge our Catholic pastors and 

people to continue to use this important statement 

to help them form their consciences, to contribute 

to civil and respectful public dialogue, and to 

shape their choices in the coming election in 

the light of Catholic teaching. 

The statement li�s up our dual heritage as 

both faithful Catholics and American citizens. 

We are members of a community of faith with a 

long tradition of teaching and action on human 

life, and dignity, marriage and family, justice 

and peace, care for creation, and the common 

good. As Americans, we are also blessed with 

religious liberty which safeguards our right to 

bring our principles and moral convictions into 

the public arena. These Constitutional freedoms 

need to be both exercised and protected, as 

some seek to mute the voices or limit the freedoms 

of religious believers and religious institutions. 

Catholics have the same rights and duties as 

others to participate fully in public life. The 

Church through its institutions must be free to 

carry out its mission and contribute to the common 

good without being pressured to sacrifice 

fundamental teachings and moral principles. 

Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship 

is widely used to share Catholic teaching on the 

role of faith and conscience in political life. 

Although it has at times been misused to 

present an incomplete or distorted view of the 

demands of faith in politics, this statement 

remains a faithful and challenging call to 

discipleship in the world of politics. It does not 

o�er a voters guide, scorecard of issues, or 

direction on how to vote. It applies Catholic 

moral principles to a range of important issues 

November 04, 2012 

and warns against misguided appeals to 

“conscience” to ignore fundamental moral 

claims, to reduce Catholic moral concerns to 

one or two matters, or to justify choices simply 

to advance partisan, ideological, or personal 

interests. It does not o�er a quantitative listing 

of issues for equal consideration, but outlines 

and makes important distinctions among moral 

issues acknowledging that some involve the 

clear obligation to oppose intrinsic evils which 

can never be justified and that others require 

action to pursue justice and promote the common 

good. In short, it calls Catholics to form their 

consciences in the light of their Catholic faith 

and to bring our moral principles to the debate 

and decisions about candidates and issues. 

The moral and human challenges outlined 

in the second half of Forming Consciences for 

Faithful Citizenship remain pressing national 

issues. In particular, our Conference is focused 

on several current and fundamental problems, 

some involving opposition to intrinsic evils and 

others raising serious moral questions: 

� Continuing destruction of unborn children 

through abortion and other threats to the 

lives and dignity of others who are 

vulnerable, sick, or unwanted; 

� Renewed e�orts to force Catholic 

ministries – in health care, education, and 

social services - to violate their 

consciences or stop serving those in need; 

� Intensifying e�orts to redefine marriage 

and enact measures which undermine 

marriage as the permanent, faithful, and 

fruitful union of one man and one 

woman and a fundamental moral and 

social institution essential to the 

common good; 

� An economic crisis which has devastated 

lives and livelihoods, increasing national

ESCUELA DE LA FE 

¿Qué es la fe? ¿Tiene sentido la fe en un mundo 

donde la ciencia y la tecnología han abierto nuevos 

horizontes hasta hace poco impensables? 

En efecto, en nuestro tiempo es necesaria una 

educación renovada en la fe, que abarque el conocimiento de sus 

verdades y de los acontecimientos de la salvación, pero que, en 

primer lugar, nazca de un verdadero encuentro con Dios en Jesucristo, 

de amarlo, de confiar en Él, de modo que abrace toda nuestra vida. 

Ante los diversos desafíos que presenta el mundo actual y que 

generan una especie de "desierto espiritual", y a pesar de los 

avances de la ciencia, "el hombre de hoy no parece ser 

verdaderamente más libre, más humano, permanecen todavía 

muchas formas de explotación, de manipulación, de violencia, de 

opresión, de injusticia". 

Sumado a esto está la tendencia de creer sólo en aquello que 

se puede ver y tocar. "Necesitamos no sólo el pan material, necesitamos 

amor, sentido y esperanza, un fundamento seguro, un terreno sólido 

que nos ayude a vivir con un sentido auténtico, incluso en la crisis, en 

la oscuridad, en las dificultades y problemas cotidianos". 

La fe, "no es un mero asentimiento intelectual del hombre a las 

verdades particulares sobre Dios, es un acto con el cual me entrego 

libremente a un Dios que es Padre y me ama, es adhesión a un ‘Tú’ 

que me da esperanza y confianza". Porque sabemos que Dios ha 

revelado su amor al hombre, a cada uno de nosotros: en la Cruz, 

Jesús de Nazaret, el Hijo de Dios hecho hombre nos muestra, en la 

forma más luminosa, hasta dónde llega este amor, hasta darse a sí 

mismo hasta el sacrificio total". 

Con el misterio de la Muerte y Resurrección de Cristo, Dios 

desciende hasta el fondo de nuestra humanidad, para elevarla hasta 

que alcance su altura. La fe es creer en este amor de Dios, que 

nunca falla ante la maldad de los hombres, ante el mal y la muerte, 

sino que es capaz de transformar todas las formas de esclavitud, 

brindando la posibilidad de la salvación. 

Creer es confiarse libremente y con alegría al plan providencial 

de Dios en la historia, como lo hizo el patriarca Abraham, como lo 

hizo María de Nazaret. La fe es, pues, un consentimiento con el que 

nuestra mente y nuestro corazón dicen su "sí" a Dios, confesando 

que Jesús es el Señor. Y este "sí" transforma la vida, le abre el camino 

hacia una plenitud de sentido, que la hace nueva, rica de alegría y 

esperanza fiable.

Go and Make Disciples . . . 


�� 

Today it seems like everyone is into labels. I don’t mean shoes 

and jeans, no, I’m thinking of personal labels. You know, the quick 

judgments we make about others without really putting them into 

words, just cutting thoughts and quick dismissals. Perhaps it’s the 

overcharged political climate, and truly, that has a bearing on our 

personal and communal labeling, but I think it goes a lot deeper. 

While we bemoan negative politicking, we fail to hear ourselves 

cutting down our neighbor’s kids or slicing up our in-laws. The 

radical cry to clean up our public discourse applies first to us in our 

relationship to our neighbor – and Jesus made it crystal clear that 

our neighbor is everyone we encounter – at home, at work, at 

Busch’s, at the gym, on the parking lot, and in church. That’s right! 

In church. 

When Jesus said, “You shall love your neighbor,” he meant it. 

Love her when she dresses like you and when she doesn’t. Love 

him when he drives a BMW and when he parks his car right in front 

of your house, plastic taped windows and all. Love her when she 

forgets an important detail that radically affects your project and love 

him in all his ineptness. Love them because God does. Where 

I grew up, racism and social profiling were never an issue because 

we were all very comfortable white skinned people. Then one day 

the walls around the garden came tumbling down and the reality of 

diversity walked in. Now the gospel is so much more than a self 

congratulating pat on the back message of, “Well, of course I love 

my neighbor. She’s just like me.” 

When the walls come down and our neighbor turns out to be 

someone other than a reflection of ourselves, we are confronted with 

the great question: “Now, what do I do? Let them in wearing 

different clothes? Speaking a different dialect? Behaving like Mrs. 

Turpin in a Flannery O’Connor novel? To love the Lord, your God, 

with all your heart, and with all your mind, and all your strength, and 

your neighbor as yourself is a tough job. But it’s the only chance you 

have of gaining a place in the kingdom – of enjoying peace – true 

peace. Some day every one of us will be confronted with this reality 

because, one day every wall that divides people will come tumbling 

down. And everyone of us has to decide whether we will love 

someone whom we have labeled as less than us because of the way 

they choose to live. And if there’s one thing that is absolutely true 

about life and about the God that we profess as Christians – God is 

present in every other person - really, truly present. That’s not 

meant to scare us into better behavior. That’s meant to remind us of 

the generosity of our God who sees only the soul and chooses to 

reside there: your soul and your neighbor’s. 

So, what do we do when the truth rises up to confront us? Well, 

it’s fairly easy to deny it all and just go on being who we think we are: 

good enough. Good enough may work for tonight’s dessert, but it 

doesn’t work for that nagging commandment we heard in 

today’s gospel. Confronted with the question, “Which is the first of all 

the commandments?” Jesus replied: You shall love the Lord your 

God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with 

all your strength…and your neighbor as yourself. 

Pat Ernst 

NOTES . . . FROM THE PASTOR 

Page 5 

“Now I am going to tell you a mystery…all of us are to be 

changed in an instant, in the twinkling of the eye, at the sound of the 

last trumpet. The trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised 

incorruptible, and we shall be changed. This corruptible body must 

be clothed with incorruptibility, this mortal body with immortality. 

When the corruptible frame takes on incorruptibility and the mortal 

immortality, then will the saying of Scripture be fulfilled: Death is 

swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, 

where is your sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:51-55). 

Our faith calls us to assemble as community for various reasons, 

at various times. We usually gather at a cemetery for the burial of 

family or friends and later visit the burial site. The gathering is often 

a stressful time filled with grief and much pain. Usually the beloved 

has recently died and the funeral liturgy just celebrated. It is a time 

when faith is put to the test, when we are confronted with all the 

implications of death. It is also the time when the pilgrim Church, the 

faithful on earth, especially in the funeral liturgy, unites closely in 

support of one another in their loss and gives witness to their 

profession of faith in the mysteries of our redemption, resurrection 

and the communion of saints. 

Our gatherings at the cemetery after burial are frequently less 

stressful, more peaceful, reflective, and prayerful times. As we 

gather at the burial site, we are able to see around us the beautiful 

setting for so many other faithful departed. We are in the presence 

of the faithful who have gone before us. 

We are reminded again of the great communion to which we 

belong and because of Jesus Christ the bonds that hold us together 

are stronger than death, “So it is that the union of the wayfarers with 

the brethren who sleep in the peace of Christ is in no way interrupted 

but on the contrary, according to the constant faith of the Church this 

union is reinforced by an exchange of spiritual goods.” (Catechism of 

the Catholic Church #995). 

Everything in the cemetery should contribute to an experience 

of the call to put our lives in order and seek a closer union with Jesus 

Christ. For some the visit to a cemetery is the time for coming 

to terms with the realities of life which of necessity include the 

experience of death. In the serene setting of the cemetery life is put 

into perspective. 

An essential part of our faith is the understanding that we have 

an obligation within the time given us on earth to share the vision of 

our faith, to bring the good news that all things are gathered up in 

Christ, that nothing is lost, nothing is wasted, “If the Spirit of him who 

raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then he who raised Christ 

from the dead will bring your mortal bodies to life also through his 

Spirit dwelling in you.” (Romans 8:11). Our practice of the works of 

mercy: burying the dead and comforting and consoling the sorrowful 

are acts of charity to which we are called by our Baptism. 

On Tuesday, November 13 th at 7:30 pm, all are invited to a 

Taize Service in the main church building to pray for all the 

faithful departed. The names of the dead who were buried from our 

parish in the past year will be named and prayed for in the service. 

Also, in each vestibule there is a pamphlet that contains the names 

of those departed. Included within the pamphlet are prayers that will 

assist you when you visit the grave of a loved one. 

“The Church who, as Mother has borne the Christian sacramentally 

in her womb during his earthly pilgrimage, accompanies his at this 

journey’s end, in order to surrender him ‘into the Father’s hands.’ 

She offers to the Father, in Christ, the child of his grace, and she 

commits to the earth, in hope, the seed of the body that will rise in 

glory.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church #1683). 

Peace, 

Fr. Mark Brauer

FROM FR. PAUL SNYDER 

Faithful Citizenship 

As disciples of Christ living today we are called to transform the 

world around us. We do this by constant prayer that our hearts be 

converted; we do this by asking the Holy Spirit for the gift of courage 

to speak the word of God to our family, neighbors and friends; we do 

this with our actions when they support the Gospel of Christ. During 

this Year of Faith, we are celebrating the 50 th anniversary of the 

opening of the Second Vatican Council. The Dogmatic Constitution 

of the Church (Lumen Gentium) speaks of today’s disciples, “...led by 

the spirit of the Gospel they may work for the sanctification of the 

world from within as a leaven. In this way they may make Christ 

known to others, especially by the testimony of a life resplendent in 

faith, hope and charity” (Lumen Gentium 31). This is one of my 

favorite images used in the document. If you have ever watched 

bread being made or made it yourself, you know that a very small 

amount of yeast or leaven has the power to transform the entire 

batch of dough. 

I hope we think of this image as we participate in the election 

this coming Tuesday. As disciples of Christ we allow our faith to 

shape the world around us like that leaven that raises the dough. We 

give thanks and praise to God for the great gift of our country. We 

are blessed to live in a country where we have the opportunity to 

elect our leaders. We also need to pray for our country during these 

crucial days that it upholds the rights of all, especially religious 

freedom and the dignity of human life. The Bishops of the United 

States remind us that, “As Catholics, we should be guided more by 

our moral convictions than by our attachment to a political party or 

interest group. When necessary, our participation should help 

transform the party to which we belong; we should not let the party 

transform us in such a way that we neglect or deny fundamental 

moral truths. We are called to bring together our principles and our 

political choices, our values and our votes, to help build a better 

world” (USCCB: Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, 

www.usccb.org). 

As followers of Christ we give our lives over to Jesus, and we 

are called to serve others in his name. A few weeks ago, the Sunday 

Gospel reminded us that the greatest among us will be the servant of 

all. If we are the servants of all we need to promote the respect for 

all human life. “There are some things we must never do, as 

individuals or as a society, because they are always incompatible 

with love of God and neighbor. These intrinsically evil acts must 

always be rejected and never supported. A preeminent example is 

the intentional taking of human life through abortion. It is always 

morally wrong to destroy innocent human beings. A legal system 

that allows the right to life to be violated on the grounds of choice is 

fundamentally flawed. Similarly, direct threats to the dignity of human 

life such as euthanasia, human cloning, and destructive research on 

human embryos are also intrinsically evil and must be opposed.… 

Disrespect for any human life diminishes respect for all human life. 

As Catholics, we are not single-issue voters. A candidate’s position 

on a single issue is not sufficient to guarantee a voter’s support. Yet 

a candidate’s position on a single issue that involves an intrinsic evil, 

such as support for legal abortion or the promotion of racism, may 

legitimately lead a voter to disqualify a candidate from receiving 

support” (USCCB: Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship). A 

lack of respect for the dignity of human life is at the core of so many evils. 

We continue to pray that all people value that all human life is 

made in the image of God. The Lord has blessed us with much to be 

thankful. I pray that we may we be that leaven in our culture, 

sanctifying it by bringing the knowledge and love of Christ to all. 

Have a blessed week, 

Fr. Paul

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS 

PARISH SACRAMENTAL INFORMATION 

First Reconciliation Parent Meeting 

If your child is preparing for the sacrament of Reconciliation and 

you did not attend the parent meeting on Tuesday, October 30, you 

have another opportunity on Wednesday, November 7 at 10:00 am 

in the Church Hall North. At this meeting you will receive materials 

to take home that will assist you in your child’s sacramental preparation. 

Please contact the Religious Education Office if you have any questions. 

Rite of Enrollment 

Last Tuesday, October 23 our parish children who are preparing 

for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist participated in a 

special enrollment rite in which they signed their names to show their 

willingness to begin their formal preparation for these two very 

important sacraments. 

I would like to especially thank Fr. Mark Brauer for presiding at the 

Rite of Enrollment and impressing upon the children and their families 

the importance of this step in their faith journey. I am very grateful to 

Mrs. Mary Garlow for her expertise in planning the prayer service and 

in giving the parish families a brief orientation on the sacraments of 

First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. Dr. Noriko Ernst and Mrs. Sarah 

Evangelista are to be complimented and thanked for using their 

musical talents to enhance the Rite of Enrollment. I am extremely 

grateful to the second grade catechists and teachers: Mrs. Bev 

Imesch, Mrs. Patti Law, Mrs. Cynthia Lazoen, and Mrs. Sharon 

Quinn. Thank you for being there and offering your help and support 

during the signing rite and with the distribution of the Mass books. 

Thanks to Mrs. JoAnne Moore for being our sacristan, server, cross 

bearer, and invaluable helper. I am grateful to Mrs. Pat Ernst for 

providing the liturgical binders that were used for the signing 

ceremony during the Rite of Enrollment. Thanks, Ms. Sue Siemiesz, 

for all your work beforehand to make sure that registration forms 

were mailed out, the worship aids and brochures printed, and the 

Church set up; also for expediting the collection of the forms and 

fees. Your organizational abilities are awesome and greatly admired! 

Faithful Citizenship (continued from page 1) 

and global unemployment, poverty, and hunger; increasing 

deficits and debt and the duty to respond in ways which protect 

those who are poor and vulnerable as well as future generations; 

� The failure to repair a broken immigration system with 

comprehensive measures that promote true respect for law, 

protect the human rights and dignity of immigrants and refugees, 

recognize their contributions to our nation, keep families 

together, and advance the common good; 

� Wars, terror, and violence which raise serious moral 

questions on the use of force and its human and moral costs 

in a dangerous world, particularly the absence of justice, 

security, and peace in the Holy Land and throughout the 

Middle East. 

In this coming election and beyond, we urge leaders and all 

Catholics to share the message of faithful citizenship and to use this 

document in forming their own consciences, so we can act together 

to promote and protect human life and dignity, marriage and family, 

justice and peace in service to the common good. This kind of political 

responsibility is a requirement of our faith and our duty as citizens.

Cross Connection Ministries is an important piece 

of the Confirmation program. These projects are not 

like the hours counted or projects completed for scouting 

or other organizations (NHS). CCM projects aim at 

helping Candidates grow in their understanding of 

discipleship, discover their gifts and talents and hinge 

on relationship with neighbor and God. As we reach 

out in love to our neighbor we find union with God. 

They are intentional and require the Candidate to 

illustrate their desire to be Confirmed.

A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE 

by Bud Ozar 

In a family children are taught to be respectful 

if they want to be respected, to share, if they want their fair share and 

to listen if they want to be heard. Family life rescues us from 

arrogance by teaching us to love others as we love ourselves.

INAUGURAL TRUNK OR TREAT “SPOOKTACULAR” FUN! 

If you were looking for Christ this past Saturday, he was hanging with nearly 300 young people, parents, grandparents, young adults and 

good friends at Sorrows’ Inaugural Trunk or Treat! God blessed us with answered prayer – GREAT weather – and we rocked it out with well 

decorated trunks, awesome costumes, committed young people and a true blessing – a handful of merciful adult volunteers who stepped up and 

saved the day! 

Bragging rights for the next year and the top three winners of our Trunk Decorating Contest go to: the Amouri Family – First Place; Ghassan 

Family - Second Place; the Almaki Family - Third Place! Next year’s challengers know they have to raise the bar high – these trunks rocked! 

Look for photos of the day on the OLS Facebook page (Our Lady of Sorrows Parish – Farmington MI). 

First, I thank those young people who stepped up to be Living Saints, and at the touch of a button came alive and talked about their lives, 

after praying with each group that stood in front of them. This was the reason for the day. Halloween is fun – but being Catholic is MORE fun! 

When you can get young people to make this kind of commitment, to show this kind of leadership, well then, you have pushed back against the 

culture that seeks to consume us and really made a difference. I am so very proud of Lilian Lebednick, Kailey Alessi, Olivia Warner, Marisa 

Kaddis, Dean Hubbert, Grace Pleace and the Sandoval sisters! You guys totally rock! You are a blessing to me, and the people of Sorrows. 

Don’t ever forget that! 

To the young people who manned the youth ministry van, got dressed up, decorated it and handed out candy – THANK YOU! Grant Prior, 

Ryan Kotlinski, Carla Guerreso and Cristina Rotundo. You rock too! Meghan Meyers wore the GoodNeigbear suit at the indentured 

servant’s car – and was a hit with all the people! You are all terrific – and also a blessing to me and the people of Sorrows. 

I was aching for help and at the last minute a merciful number of people did step up – we could have used many more and those who did 

help really worked very, very hard. I hope they had time to enjoy the event! I am so grateful to God, to Jill Mott, Barb Poniatowski and 

Theresa Samonie for ‘womaning’ the caramel apple dipping and topping area of the day. Yeoman’s work and tough duty! Mark Lebednick 

manned the kitchen and cooked all the hot dogs, while his wife Carol and Sorrows’ Dad Larry Alessi wrapped and schlepped and served! A 

handful of you pulled off what should have been 10 people – and I am so very grateful for all your hard work and your commitment. 

What a day! 

We also thank the 34 who decorated their cars so beautifully, handed out candy, and really worked and made an effort to be creative and 

fun! A number of parish groups hosted cars: Youth Group, Young Adults, Christian Service, Marriage Encounter, Dignity of Life, The Drama 

Club and Athletics. Thanks for being team players and working to build community here at Sorrows right along with families. Also, the Achos 

(grandparents) hosted a car so we had a beautiful intergenerational thing going on! Kids in strollers, kids, teens, young adults, families, seniors – we 

had it going on! Dear people of God - that’s Church! 

Fr. Paul said he loved the community around the tables in the cafeteria jammed with people making new friends! One parent said she 

really liked that it was a midday event, so you could see the kids in their costumes. Another mom is already planning her car for next year! We 

also heard second hand that a mom will make this her trick or treat for next year and forego door to door in the neighborhood!
