Never doubt the thankfulness which thousands of people feel, all over northern Colorado, for your service. Be faithful to your identity. I know Catholic health care needs to adapt, just to survive, in a market that constantly becomes more difficult. I also know Catholic health care is under constant pressure to compromise on issues like contraception, sterilization, and others. Don t do it.
Contraception is wrong.
Sterilization is wrong. Catholic ministries, including Catholic health care, are only worth doing if they re rooted without compromise in the truth of Catholic teaching. The truth is the greatest gift we have to offer the world, even if it sometimes seems like a sign of contradiction. You ll be in prayers in these last weeks of the Jubilee Year. Please remember me in yours.
