October is Respect Life Month

09-26-2021Weekly ReflectionFr. Michael Straley

Next month, October, is Respect Life Month. During this Year of St. Joseph, the Holy Father invites us to reflect more deeply on how St. Joseph loved Jesus with a father’s heart. Joseph’s unhesitating adherence to God’s will as he faithfully and lovingly protected the Christ Child and the Blessed Mother from conception and throughout his life. This reminds us of our own call as Christians to safeguard God’s gift of human life.

I am so proud of our parish Sanctity of Life group and I thank them for all the work that they do for us.

May St. Joseph help us to faithfully commit ourselves to the service and defense of human life, especially where it is vulnerable or threatened, and obtain for us the grace to do the will of God in all things.
