This year s theme is Be Not Afraid, because God the Father, by raising Jesus bodily from the grave and death, has affirmed the value of every human life at every moment, from conception to natural death. Some think Respect Life and Pro-Life means only opposition to abortion. While it includes that, Respect Life means so much more. To respect the gift of life, and the dignity of every human person at every stage of their existence, means to work to eliminate substandard living conditions, inadequate health care, lack of educational opportunities, unemployment, and to provide hope and possibilities for the addicted, the elderly who are lonely or abused, the unwed mother who is scared, the child who is being neglected or growing up in an unsafe environment, the desperate migrant who fears for his life, the victims of war or terrorism: the list goes on and on. May God grant us courage to embrace his precious gift of life, even in the most difficult of circumstances. Prayer of the Faithful for Respect Life Sunday www.usccb.org/respect life Father Paul Pluth
