"The call of Christ to respect and protect every human life is central to the Church’s Mission of Mercy. God’s mercy begins with the life and dignity divinely bestowed on each human person. We continue this merciful work by caring for one another, especially the most vulnerable. To this end, I offer you this Four-Part Plan for Pro-Life (link)Activities as a way to better focus and coordinate our pro-life activities throughout the diocese. Please prayerfully review the plan and ask the Lord Jesus how you, your parish, and the Diocese can be His missionary disciples, joyfully announcing the gospel of life."
Bishop Jaime Soto
prayer for life
Eternal Father, Source of Life, strengthen us with your Holy Spirit to receive the abundance of life you have promised. Open our hearts to see and desire the beauty of your plan for life and love. Make our love generous and self-giving so that we may be blessed with joy. Grant us great trust in your mercy. Forgive us for not receiving your gift of life and heal us from the effects of the culture of death. Instill in us and all people reverence for every human life. Inspire and protect our efforts on behalf of those most vulnerable, especially the unborn, the sick and the elderly. We ask this in the Name of Jesus, who by His Cross makes all things new. Amen.
