PRAYERS
Teen Creed
Don't let your parents down
They brought you up.
Be humble enough to obey,
You may give orders someday.
Choose companions with care,
You become what they are.
Guard your thoughts,
what you think, you are.
Choose only a date,
who would make a good mate.
Be master of your habits,
or they will master you.
Don't be a show off when you drive,
Drive with safety and arrive.
Don't let the crowd pressure you,
Stand for something or you'll
fall for anything.

The truth about Contraception
Contraception, the deliberate action of using a condom, taking "the
pill", or other barrier devices and abortifacients to render the
conception of a child impossible, is Gravely sinful.
WHOA! Is that so?! YES! The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us
so in paragraph 2370: "Every action
to render procreation
impossible is intrinsically evil."
Contraception is opposed to TRUE LOVE, because true love in a marriage
gives TOTALLY of oneself, including fertility. True love created life
and nurtures it. Ultimately, contraception is the selfish use of a marriage
partners body for pleasure and the refusal to be open to God's creative
will. This is an abuse of our sexuality which is designed to create
children and to foster intimacy in the marriage.
Check it out! This has been the constant Catholic Church teaching since
the time of Christ. Yet, even well-known Protestant detested Contraception.
Martin Luther called it "More atrocious than incest or adultery
a
sodomitic sin," and Calvin regarded it as a form of homicide!
Virtually all Christian religious believed contraception was immoral
for 19 centuries until the Anglican Church allowed it in the 1930! Most
other Christian religions soon followed. However, the Catholic Church
reinforced the immorality of contraception three times this century
through papal encyclicals in 1930, 1968, & 1981.
In cases where there's a serious reason for married couples to space
births, Natural Family Planning is morally acceptable, because it respects
God's natural creative order and the dignity of persons.
