Respect
Life Ministry
The
Respect Life Ministry promotes the culture of
life and to defend life from conception to
natural death. As
Christians, we are called to defend human life
and to work for peace based on justice for all
- born and unborn, young and old, sick and
well. Our faith also calls us to bring our
values to the public life of the nation, to
use "our everyday opportunities and
responsibilities, our voices and votes to
defend human life, human dignity, and human
rights" (U.S. Catholic
Bishops, A Century of Social
Teaching, 1990).
| What
Can We Do? |
|
• |
Treat
all people with reverence for their
value and dignity. We can make sure
that we fully understand the Church's
teaching about the sacredness of every
human life. |
| • |
Nurture
and care for those who are sick,
dying, or afflicted by poverty or
spiritual despair. |
| • |
Work
for laws and policies to relieve the
economic burdens that pressure some
women to obtain abortions. |
| • |
Help
to change attitudes that accept
abortion as a solution to individual
and social problems. |
| • |
Pray
that our nation will avoid deadly
violence and promote solutions to
human problems that respect human life
and dignity. |
| • |
Join
the Respect Life Ministry in our
parish. With others in the group,
teach about the sanctity of human
life, help those in need, and advocate
laws and policies that affirm human
life. |
