Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.
The Secretariat on Pro-Life Activities has developed a reflection focusing on hope after abortion. This article, available in both English and Spanish, recalls the search for the lost sheep based on the parable from Luke 15. It reflects on Christ, the Good Shepherd, who always desires to offer us his mercy, no matter what sins we have committed. View here!
We are happy to announce that this reflection will also be available on the free version of the Hallow app in September, led by Bishop James T. Ruggieri of the Diocese of Portland, ME. Please join us in praying that it will offer hope to those who are suffering after an abortion experience.
JULY 26- FEAST OF ST. ANNE AND ST. JOACHIM
St. Anne and St. Joachim became the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary after a long struggle with infertility. They honored God by forming their daughter in the faith, preparing her heart for the coming of Christ. Ultimately, as the grandparents of Jesus Christ, may they intercede for us all in passing on the faith to both children and grandchildren.
