now what?
The March for Life is over—the joy of being surrounded by individuals who also acknowledge the reality that unborn human beings are, in fact, human beings and should have protection under the law is starting to let down. As everyone heads home to communities nationwide, we encourage you and your kiddos to keep the momentum in reawakening a culture of life!
How so? In today's Pray, Grow, and Serve, we share some ideas from the USCCB's playbook and added a model of excellence for good measure…
PUBLIC POLICY Pope St. John Paul II was a fierce defender of human life! Many times, St John Paul explained that laws that did not protect the sanctity of human life were unjust. He explained that every community must respect, defend, and promote the dignity of every human person at every moment and in every condition of that person's life! No exception!
Practical application: Speak up, using both faith and reason!
PASTORAL CARE: St. Gregory the Great was a pope. He wrote a book about a priest's role as a doctor of the soul. He helped other priests and Bishops understand the very important job of caring for those who struggle to believe that God created them out of love for a great purpose and that they are worthy of God's great mercy.
Practical application: A culture of life is a culture of love—all of it is impossible without Christ. Pray for the Church and serve her well!
PRAYER AND WORSHIP: The Sisters of Life are a religious order that focuses the work of their mind, heart, and words, to celebrate and protect the sanctity of human life. The Sisters know that daily Mass, adoration, and prayer are the most powerful tools we have in caring for the dignity of every human person. As a part of their mighty work to protect human life, they pray and worship, making it a part of their daily practice.
Practical application: Glorify God, always!
EDUCATION St. John Bosco was a great teacher! He knew the mission of the Church was to witness to and serve all human life. He taught each student how deeply God loved them and their responsibility to care for one another well.
Practical application: Never stop proclaiming the Gospel of Life!
