BISHOP CATHOLIC CONFERENCE IN OHIO ON ISSUE 1
The Catholic Conference of Ohio firmly opposes Issue 1, which would enshrine the “right” to abortion in the Ohio Constitution. This extreme amendment endangers the health and safety of women, threatens parental rights, and allows for abortion through all nine months of pregnancy.
The Catholic Church has always advocated for and acted to protect the most vulnerable in society, including the indigent, migrants, and preborn children in the womb. We will continue to do so by explaining the harms Issue 1 poses to women, parents, and babies with Catholics and all people of goodwill across Ohio and encourage a no vote on this egregious proposal.
This extreme amendment would:
1. Threaten the health and safety of women
2. Threaten the rights of parents and put minors at risk
3. Allow painful abortions through all nine months of pregnancy
SANCTUARY CANDLE:
The Sanctuary candles will be lit for the entire week for your intentions. The week of November 5-11, 2023 there are no request for the sanctuary candles.
THE WOMAN TESTIFIES TO JESUS’ DIVINITY, AND JESUS TO HER FAITH.
EPHREM THE SYRIAN: Glory to you, hidden offspring of Being, because the hidden suffering of her that was afflicted proclaimed your healing. Using a woman whom they could see, he enabled them to see the divinity that cannot be seen. The Son’s divinity became known through his healing, and the afflicted woman’s faith was revealed through her being healed. She caused him to be proclaimed, and she was proclaimed with him. Truth was being proclaimed together with its heralds. If she was a witness to his divinity, he in turn was a wit-ness to her faith.
She poured faith on him by way of reward, and he bestowed healing on her as the outcome of her reward. Since the woman’s faith had become public, her healing also was proclaimed in public. The physicians were put to shame about their remedies because his power became resplendent and magnified the Son. It became evident how great faith surpasses the healing art and how hidden power surpasses visible remedies. COMMENTARY ON TATIAN’S DIATESSARON 7.I-2.12
