DAY OF PRAYER AND PENANCE

Please be aware that, this year, the day of prayer and penance for offenses committed against life is Monday, January 22 – a day Catholics should observe by offering sacrifices and prayers to God for the conversion of hearts towards pro-life.

God of all goodness,

You have entrusted us with the gift of life.

Help us to appreciate that gift from the first moments of

conception to the last breaths of old age.

Send your strength to all those who defend the unborn,

the weak, and the dying against attempts to

cut short their lives.

May your holy Spirit touch the hearts of

those who are tempted to choose the way of death

rather than life.

Grant that your people may always be a

sign of your love in the world.

Amen.

RESPECT LIFE

Pro-life Words from Hollywood

“Indeed, the tragedy of abortion haunts women

from all walks of life. Abortion advocates are

spending millions to package their tired rhetoric

and half-truths in cutting-edge advertising campaigns

targeted to young women... The early feminists were pro-

life. And really, abortion is a huge disservice to women, and

it hasn't been presented that way." -- Emmy winning

actress, Patricia Heaton, from Everybody Loves Raymond.
