The USCCB has expressed serious concerns regarding the use of abortion-derived cell lines in the development and production of COVID vaccines. "Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines raised concerns because an abortion-derived cell line was used for testing them, but not in their production. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine, however, was developed, tested and is produced with abortion-derived cell lines raising additional moral concerns." . . . If you have any questions regarding the moral concerns of the vaccine, Bishop Cotta would like to encourage you to contact the diocesan Life & Dignity Coordinator, Robert Poncini at rponcini@stocktondiocese.org. . .

Brothers and Sisters, Just do It! Years back, the Nike company utilized this marketing phrase to entice the public to buy their popular recreational and athletic shoes. By wearing their product, the public was being encouraged to get up; to get on their feet; and to get out there and become physically active -in other words, don’t just think about doing it: “Just do it!” . . .

A VIRUS MORE DEADLY THAN THE CORONAVIRUS…GOSSIP! Visiting the USS HORNET Aircraft Carrier on display at the Alameda, California Naval Base, I was struck by a sign that was everywhere to remind the crew that "Open lips sink ships." Indeed, an indiscretion has dire consequences and even more so when it is slander or gossip. Gossip spreads as fast as opening a feather pillow and letting the wind blow the feathers away; but once the feathers have all spread out, it is practically impossible to collect them all again and put them back inside the pillow. Slander destroys reputations, leads to divorces, causes innocent professionals to be tried and suspended from pursuing their professional careers, and in many cases, has led to the suicide of those individuals whose good reputation had been ruined. . .

Prayer to St. Joseph
Pope Francis announced a Year of St. Joseph, in honor of the 150th anniversary of the saint’s proclamation as patron of the Universal Church. The Year extends from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021.
Pope Francis said he was establishing the year so that “every member of the faithful, following his example, may strengthen their life of faith daily in the complete fulfillment of God’s will.”
PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH
Dear Guardian of our Redeemer and Husband of the Virgin
Mary, God entrusted His Son to you, Mary placed her trust
in you, with your paternal figure, Christ became an adult
man. Blessed Joseph be a Father for us and teach us and
guide us in the way of life. Give us grace, mercy, and
courage, and protect us from every evil. Amen.
ORACION A SAN JOSE
“Salve, custodio del Redentor y esposo de la Virgen María.
A ti Dios confió a su Hijo, en ti María depositó su
confianza, contigo Cristo se forjó como hombre. Oh,
bienaventurado José, muéstrate, padre también a
nosotros y guíanos en el camino de la vida. Concédenos
gracia, misericordia y valentía, y defiéndenos de todo
mal.” Amen.
