The Gospel of Life is the Encyclical Letter of Pope John Paul II
"to the Bishops, Priests and Deacons, Men and Women religious, lay Faithfuland all People of Good Will on the Value and Inviolabilityof Human Life."
For the full text of our Holy Father, John Paul II's message on life, go to the Vatican website at:
Today marks the 34th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a most unfortunate and unjuust decision of the U.S. Supreme Court which legalized abortion on demand in this county. The bishops of the U.S. have declared today a day of "Prayer and Penance" in reparation for this national halocaust.
Please remember to pray for all the pro-life marchers in Washington, especially the 28 from Our Lady of the Rosary parish. I'm quite proud of them and of our youth minister, Kathy DeSanto, who makes this pilgrimage of life possible year after year.
