Tuesday, January 22 marks the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion in our country. The Church asks us to pray for legal protection of the unborn. Each of us has the responsibility to promote the Gospel of Life. Blessed Pope John Paul II said, "Every individual, by reason of the mystery of the Word of God who was made flesh, is entrusted to the maternal care of the Church. Therefore, every threat to human dignity and life must necessarily be felt in the Church's very heart; it cannot but affect her at the core of her faith in the Redemptive Incarnation of the Son of God, and engage her in her mission of proclaiming the Gospel of life in all the world and to every creature." - (Evangelium Vitae, no. 3). Let us then take up the call to pray for just laws that protect the innocent. Let us also pray for a transformation of minds and hearts, so that the protection of the unborn may become reality.
Please join us on Tuesday, here at the parish, in praying for the protection of all life, especially the unborn, during our Eucharistic Day of Adoration and at 6:00p.m. for prayers and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
