Lay Ministry Schedule

Pro-life Reflection: The God of Life is a God of Mercy. The pro-life movement rejects abortion, but does not reject those who have abortions. Rather, it embraces them with love and

mercy, and invites them to the forgive-ness and the peace of Christ. Prayer:

Lord, I pray for all those who have had abortions. Through the compassion of others, may they turn to You for for-giveness, and may You grant them Your peace.

- Fr. Frank Pavone
