SAINT JAMES CATHOLIC SCHOOL PARISH LIFE
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. –Psalm 139:13-16 DID THE COURT FIND THAT LIFE DOESN’T BEGIN UNTIL BIRTH? No. It argued that uses of the word “person” in the Constitution do not seem to include the unborn. Then, citing wide disagreement as to when life begins, the Court said it “need not resolve” this difficult question. Instead of considering scientific evidence that life begins at conception, or even allowing legislatures to protect those who have never been proven to be anything but human beings, the court decided to treat unborn children merely as “potential life” – and to prevent the people and their elected representatives from determining otherwise. Novena Prayer. May a change in the U.S. Supreme Court move our nation closer to the day when every human being is protected in law and welcomed in life. Our Father…, Hail Mary…, Glory Be…, (Please Pray Friday Aug 24) (USCCB) Pro-Life Committee

we come to know the Father; and through Jesus,
as the Bread of Life, we come to have eternal life.
