October is Respect Life Month

The Catholic Church has long held October to be the month in which we prayerfully celebrate our firm belief that all human life is sacred. The Marriage and Family Life Office reminds you that, as Pope John Paul II wrote in his 1995 Encyclical “The Gospel of Life”:

The family proclaims life when parents teach children to communicate openly, to value all life and to fulfill their God-given mission.

The family celebrates life through prayer, thanking God for the gift of life and for each other.

The family serves life by promoting the welfare and well-being of its own members and the members of the greater “family of life.”

Lord and giver of all life, help us to value each person, created in love by you. In your mercy, guide and assist our efforts to promote the dignity and value of all human life, born and unborn. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
