Pro Life CornerPro Life CornerPro Life Corner Conception is the beginning of hu-man life. From the time that an ovum is fertilized a new life begins that is neither that of the father nor of the mother. It is rather the life of a new human being with his/her own humanity. It could never become human if it were not human already. Pray and work to end abortion and euthanasia.

Catechism QuestionCatechism QuestionCatechism Question

207. What is life everlasting?

Eternal life is that life which begins immediately after death. It will have

no end. It will be preceded for each person by a particular judgment at the hands of Christ who is the Judge of the living and the dead. This particu-lar judgement will be confirmed in the final judg-ment.

Imagine yourself pausing in front of a design of great beauty. Your soul quiets and is filled with wonder and awe.

If art, created by man can evoke such a response within us, how much more is the same wonder, reverence and respect due to each person we encounter, who was handcrafted by

the very God who spoke the world into being?

Now think of an artist stepping back from a great work of art and admiring his or her creation.

When God created each of us, He did so with precision and purpose, and He looks on each of us with love that cannot be outdone in intensity or tenderness.

Moreover, the Lord invites each of us to behold ourselves and each other with the same wonder and awe.

No matter how the world might view us or others, let us treat each person as the masterpiece that he or she is.

“Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God’s creation, made in his own image, destined to live forever,

and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.” ~ Pope Francis’ Day for Life Greeting

Mother, help our faith! Open our ears to hear God’s Word And to recognize his voice and call.

Awaken in us a desire to Follow in his footsteps,

To go forth from our own land And to receive his promise.

Help us to be touched by his love, That we may touch him in faith.

Help us to entrust ourselves Fully to him and to believe in his love,

Especially at time of trial,

Beneath the shadow of the cross, When our faith is called to mature.

Sow in our faith the joy of the Risen One. Remind us that those who Believe are never alone.

Teach us to see all things with the eyes of Jesus, that he may be light for our path.

And may this light of faith always increase In us, until the dawn of that undying day

which is Christ himself, your Son, our Lord!

~ Pope Francis
