“’Here I am!’ he answered.”- Genesis 22:11
It is easy to say, “Here I am, Lord,” when we are kneeling in church. But how easy is it to
say “Here I am, Lord,” when a neighbor needs our help, when we are invited to join a parish
ministry, or when we are asked to provide financial support? OŌen Ɵmes we are called
when it’s not convenient for us. Discipleship is not always easy, most of the Ɵme it will
make us uncomfortable and vulnerable.
"él respondió Aquí estoy!"- Genesis 22:11
Es fácil decir, “Aquí estoy, Señor” cuando nos arrodillamos en la iglesia, pero ¿qué tan fácil es decir
“aquí estoy Señor” cuando un vecino necesita nuestra ayuda, cuando somos invitados a
unirnos a un ministerio en la parroquia, o cuando se nos pide ayuda financiera? A

The Equality Act discriminates against people of faith and threatens unborn
Tell your U.S. Congressional members to oppose it
Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. The Equality Act, which is being voted on in the U.S. House of
Representatives soon, in many ways does the opposite and needs to be opposed. Instead of respecting differences in beliefs
about marriage and sexuality, the Equality Act would discriminate against people of faith.
The Equality Act would:
• punish faith-based organizations, such as charities and schools who serve everyone in their
communities, simply because of their beliefs;
• force girls and women to compete against boys and men for limited opportunities in sports,
and to share locker rooms and shower spaces with biological males who identify as women;
• risk mandating taxpayers to fund abortions;
• force people in everyday life, and especially health care workers, to support gender transi-
tion; and
• expand what the government considers a “public” place, forcing even some parish halls to
host functions that conflict with Catholic beliefs.
