CHOOSE LIFE – “Although it is a
fundamental embryological truth that each of us was once an embryo, the advocates of
embryonic stem cell research are eager to portray human embryos as different from the rest
of us, unable to make the grade, and hence fair game for destruction at the hands of those
who themselves are no longer embryos.” (Rev.
Tadeusz Pacholczyk, Ph.D.)
PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS:
God of Love,
you call us
to live in your love through the grace of our baptism.
Bless us
with courage to carry out the mission of Jesus.
Grant us open
and generous hearts to see the needs of others
and to
respond with compassion.
May the
Church be blest with women and men who are dedicated to you through
marriage, the single life, the diaconate,
priesthood, and the consecrated life.
It is in
Christ and through Christ
that we offer ourselves to you now and forever. Amen
