In our celebration of Lent, I have been reading Pope Francis’ monumental encyclical, Laudato Si’, a major writing on our common home, the earth, and the ecological crisis that afflicts the soil, water and air all about us.
Every October, the Catholic Church in the United States observes Respect Life Month. During this time, we pray and reflect on the precious gift of life from the moment of conception to natural death. It is a month during which we are called to deeply internalize the meaning of every human person.
Each year October is Respect Life Month in the Catholic Church in the United States. This year’s theme, ‘Moved by Mercy,’ takes account of this Jubilee Year of Mercy called by Pope Francis.
