The United States Council of Catholic Bishops have
designated October Respect Life Month and the first Sunday of October Respect
Life Sunday.
In August, the United States USCCB Committee on Pro-Life
Activities released a document in which they expressed concerns about the
recent changes by The Food and Drug Administration that made the abortion pill more
easily accessible. Here is a link to the
document: (USCCB
Announcement)
In the announcement they invite “all Catholics to join a
focused effort of prayer and action to stop the spread of abortion pills”. Click on the link “Respect Life Prayer and Action” to
connect to the USCCB Respect Life web site to sign up (click the “Join Now”) to
receive email notices of prayers and pro-life activities throughout the month. Also included is a suggested prayer for the
intercession of Mary the Mother of life (click

Especially during this month of October, let us all pray
for protection of all life especially the life of unborn children.
