PRO-LIFE EXAMEN OF CONSCIENCE

Do I pray daily, explicitly for an end to abortion? Do I pray for the babies, the mothers, the abortionists, the legislators, the media, the clergy and the whole pro-life movement? Do I fast or make other sacrifices I can really feel? Or do I believe the fight against abortion can be easy? Do I try to make it easy and convenient? Do I take shortcuts in my pro-life commitment?

Do I try to come up with new ideas for pro-life work? Do I suggest these ideas to others or just forget about them? Do I give financially to the cause, even when it hurts? Is financial loss on my part worth the life of a child? 

Please welcome to our parish family Tyler Helton. May God bless him on his pilgrimage of faith and may his parents continue to lead him and be a witness to God’s love.
