O Immaculate Virgin, mother of the true God and

mother of the Church! You, who revealed your clem-

ency and your pity to all those who ask for your protec-
tion, hear the prayer that we address to you with filial
trust, and present it to your Son Jesus, our sole Re-
deemer.

Mother of Mercy, teacher of hidden and silent sacrifice,

to you we dedicate on this day all our being and all our
love. We also dedicate to you our life, our work, our
joys, our infirmities, and our sorrows. Grant peace, jus-
tice, and prosperity to our people, for we entrust to your
care all that we have and all that we are, our Lady and
Mother.

We wish to be entirely yours and to walk with you along

the way of complete faithfulness to Jesus Christ and his
Church: hold us always in your loving hand. Virgin of
Guadalupe, Mother of the Americas, we pray to you for
all the bishops, that they may lead the faithful along
paths of intense Christian life, of love and humble ser-
vice of God and souls. Grant to our homes the grace of
loving and respecting life in its beginnings, with the
same love with which you conceived in your womb the
life of the Son of God. Blessed Virgin Mary, protect our
families, so that they may always be united, and bless
the upbringing of our children.

Thus, Most Holy Mother, with the peace of God in our

conscience, with our hearts free from evil and hatred,
we will be able to bring to all true joy and true peace,
which come to us from your son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
who with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and
reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Respect for the dignity of every human life flows from the truth that every human being is created
in the image and likeness of God. This basic principle is reflected in the exhortation of our Lord,
“Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as
these.” These words from the gospel of Mark, proclaimed on Respect Life Sunday, October 4,
take on a special meaning when we realize that our Lord is referring not only to small children but
to all his children, no matter how long they have been alive – from mere seconds after conception
all the way to eternity.

Pope Benedict XVI reinforced this message on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord when he
said, “Every child brings us God’s smile.” The Bishops of the United States have chosen that
beautiful quotation as the theme for Respect Life Month, October, 2009.

Since every human person is created in the image and likeness of God, reverence for life cannot be limited to a few and
should be practiced at every moment of our lives. Every moment should give witness to our true concern for life in all
aspects: help for the poor, the elderly, the handicapped, and a genuine respect for others. When our actions are per-
formed with conviction, gentleness and true love for the dignity of every human being, God’s plan shines through.

We should support genuine healthcare reform which will allow all Americans to receive the medical assistance they re-
quire; but any healthcare plan must respect and defend the sanctity of every human life from conception to natural death
as well as freedom of conscience for doctors, nurses, pharmacists and health care workers. We work for an end to abor-
tion in our nation and, at the same time, exert ourselves in the pastoral care of young mothers and fathers who may be
struggling to make ends meet and deserve genuine Christian concern. We should consciously foster a culture in which
the value of a human life does not diminish with age or the inability to take nourishment. The most human and divine
reality at the end of life is found in the sacrifice of love shown by mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, brothers and
sisters and friends. This sacrifice of love is made by accompanying on their entire life journey the most defenseless
among us, whether they be in the womb, in a hospital, in a nursing facility or at home.

During Respect Life Month, I will remember in my prayers all who have dedicated themselves to defending life from con-
ception to natural death. May Almighty God bless you and keep you in his love!

Sincerely in Christ,

J. Peter Sartain, Bishop of Joliet

40 Days for Life Starts

Next Week
A great pro-life event begins in
over 200 cities across the country:
the 40 Days for Life prayer cam-
paign.

From September 23rd through

November 1st, 40 Days for Life
prayer vigils will be held outside
abortion clinics in 212 cities in 45
American states and five Cana-
dian provinces. At each of our Du
Page county abortion clinics pa-
rishioners from all over the dio-
cese will be present in prayer.

This will be the fifth ever 40 Days

for Life campaign, and the results
of the first four have been amaz-
ing:

MORE THAN 70,000 PEOPLE of

all ages have come out to abor-
tion clinics to pray

At least 1,561 BABIES HAVE

BEEN SAVED from abortion --
and those are just the ones we
know about 18 abortion workers
have QUIT THEIR JOBS and
walked away from the abortion
industry

Three abortion facilities COM-

PLETELY SHUT DOWN following
local 40 Days for Life campaigns

And this fall's 40 Days will be the

biggest one yet -- more babies will
be saved, more parents will be
spared a lifetime of regrets, and
more abortion workers will have
their hearts touched and leave
their jobs.

Please join us for some prayer

times. Please join the coordinator
for our parish Madeline Cannatta

NEW SURVEY: MOST AMERICANS WANT HEALTH
CARE REFORM, OPPOSE ABORTION COVERAGE,
SUPPORT CONSCIENCE PROTECTION LAWS
Two to one: U.S. adults favor ‘reform to provide affordable health in-
surance for all’ Sixty-eight percent do not want abortion coverage in
their own policy, whether public or private sixty-three percent favor
keeping conscience protection laws
WASHINGTON—A nationwide survey commissioned by the United
States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has found wide-
spread public opposition to including abortion in health care reform
and majority support for conscience rights protection – views shared
by those who favor efforts to pass health care reform.
Conducted by International Communications Research (ICR) from
September 16-20, 2009, the phone survey of 1,043 U.S. adults found
that 60 percent favor – and only thirty percent oppose – “efforts to
pass health care reform to provide affordable health insurance for all.”
Focusing on that sixty percent, the survey found that:
Sixty percent of those favoring reform oppose – and only 25 percent
support – “measures that would require people to pay for abortion
coverage with their federal taxes.”
By a 49-39 percent plurality, those who favor reform oppose
“measures that would require people to pay for abortion coverage
with their health insurance premiums”; and among those favoring re-
form, those who favor maintaining “current federal laws that protect
doctors and nurses from being forced to perform or refer for abortions
against their will” outnumber those who oppose keeping such laws in
place by a margin of two to one (60-30).
Opposition to abortion coverage was somewhat stronger in the total
sample of U.S. adults – for example, 67 percent of the total sample
opposed requiring people to pay for abortion coverage through their
taxes and 56 percent opposed making them do so through their insur-
ance premiums.
The survey also asked: “If the choice were up to you, would you want
your own insurance policy to include abortion?” Sixty-eight percent of
U.S. adults said ‘No’ and only 24 percent said ‘Yes.’
“The USCCB survey confirms other recent polls conducted by Public
Opinion Strategies (August 30-September 1) and Rasmussen Re-
ports (September 14-15) on health care policy and abortion,” said
Deirdre McQuade, Assistant Director for Policy & Communications at
the USCCB’s Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities. “With each passing
week it gets clearer: The American public generally does not want to
pay for abortion coverage and does not want health care reform used
to promote abortion,” she said.
“Abortion is not health care. The bishops of the United States are
working hard to ensure that health care reform serves the most vul-
nerable among us – especially the poor, immigrants, and the unborn,”
McQuade said.

reform, visit www.usccb.org/healthcare.

LITANY TO MARY, MOTHER OF LIFE
Mary, Mother of all Life, help us to respect human life
from the moment of conception to the moment of natural
death. R. MARY PRAY FOR US!
Mary, Mother of Compassion, You showed us how valu-
able a single life can be; help us to guard and protect the
lives of all people entrusted to our care. R.
Mary, Mother of the Child Jesus, with St. Joseph you
formed the Holy Family; guard and protect all families in
this earthly life. R.
Mary, Mother Most Holy, You sanctified the vocation of
motherhood; pour out your heavenly aid on all mothers
and help them to be holy. R.
Mary, Mother of Sorrows, Simeon’s prophecy foretold
that a sword of suffering would pierce your heart;
bring comfort and hope to all mothers who suffer
over their children. R.
Mary, Full of Grace, You had a choice in responding
to God’s call; help us always to say “Yes” to the will
of God in our lives, and strive always to do whatever
he tells us. R.
Mary, Comforter of the Afflicted, Pour forth your heavenly
grace on all who are in need of God’s healing, Especially
those involved in abortion; help them to experience the
love and mercy of Christ, your Son. R.
Mary, Intercessor and Advocate, We lift up the poor, the
displaced, the marginalized and vulnerable members of
society; help them to never abandon hope, but to place
their trust in the God who gave them life. R.
Mary, Mother of the Word Incarnate, you bore in your
womb him whom the heavens cannot contain; help us to
bear witness to Christ by the example of our lives And
show the world the extravagant love of God. R.
All: Remember, o most gracious Virgin Mary, that never
was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, im-
plored your help, or sought your intercession was left un-
aided. Inspired with this confidence, we fly unto you, O
Virgin of virgins, our Mother. To you we come, before you
we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word In-
carnate, despise not our petitions, but in your mercy hear
and answer them. Amen.

PADS News
We'd like to send out a very special thank you to all of our
parishoners who donated a gift for the PADS Birthday
Party in August. Because of your generosity, it was a
great success and a very special evening for all of our
needy guests. They were so appreciative to receive a
personal gift and this would not have been possible with-
out the wonderful community of Christ the King who were
thoughtful enough to help us with this special event. Over
the last few months we have seen large growth in the
amount of guests that come to our shelter every third
Sunday of the month, including more families than ever
before. Please pray for all of those in DuPage and else-
where who are homeless and in need of so much during
these difficult times. Thank you

50th Anniversary Commemoration
Community Project
The Administration Commission in the September 20
bulletin announced an opportunity for you to com-
memorate an event or to have a lasting remembrance
of your loved one or in thanksgiving by having your
name and theirs engraved on a brick to be placed
around the Ten Commandment monument. The bricks
will completely surround the monument. There will also
be benches for you to sit.
Our goal is to have a place for reflection not only for the
present generation of parishioners but also for future
generations. Your contribution will help our parish meet
the cost of repairs and maintenance. It will also help in
making extraordinary payment towards reducing the
Parish mortgage. We will accept your contribution until
the end of this year. We would encourage you to make
your decision as early as possible as we need to refine
the design and placement of the bricks. Your contribu-
tion is tax deductible. Please help us and the parish
achieve our goal. In the Joliet Diocese our Parish is the
only community with a Ten Commandment/Beatitude
monument.
If you have any questions please send your email to
Admin@CTKlombard.org or leave your name and
phone number at the rectory (630) 629-1717 x0 and we
will get in touch with you. The form can be sent to the
rectory with your information.
Additional order forms can be obtained at the website
www.CTKlombard .org or at the Church Narthex. Let
us be grateful for the past, celebrate the present and
wisdom for the future, through Christ our King.
Happy and Holy anniversary Christ the King parishion-
ers.
