Reflection: The same Holy Spirit who created the universe,

descended upon the womb of Mary, came as tongues of fire

at Pentecost, and leads to the Church on her mission is the

One Who calls and equips us for our pro-life work. Let us

not lack for a moment the confidence and joy that come

from Him and impel us to build a Culture of Life.

Prayer: Come, Holy Spirt, and equip us, just as you

equipped disciples of every century to the advance of the

Gospel of Life. - Fr. Frank Pavone
