HOLY HOUR FOR LIFE
THIS Sunday, January 20, 2019 following
10:00 Mass till Noon
A Holy Hour for Life will be held this weekend following the 10:00 a.m. Mass as part of the Archdiocesan observance of the National Day of Prayer and Penance marking the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision legalizing abortion on demand. We will pray together for those who have been wounded by abortion, for respect for the dignity of human life from conception to natural death, for those facing death and for holiness in the Church. Please join us, all are welcome.
“Among the vulnerable for whom the Church wishes to care with particular love and concern are unborn children, the most defenseless and innocent among us. Nowadays efforts are made to deny them their human dignity and to do with them whatever one pleases, taking their lives and passing laws preventing anyone from standing in the way of this” (Evangelii Gaudium, 213).
As indivduals and a Church may we always listen to the lives of the most vulnerable in our society and use our voice on their behalf.
“If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
