St John's Pro Life: Back to Basics

Monday 7 May 2012

Back to Basics

At our last group meeting we were discussing how there are many misconceptions about what it is to be pro-life. The Church has a lot to say when it comes to the sanctity of human life, as does our secular society and as a result we are constantly bombarded with different messages, conflicting information and it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction, truth from lie. So we and decided that we would have our very own "Back to Basics" sessions here on the blog. We will gently and gradually explore each of the core pro-life issues in the hopes that it will help us to grow in the Gospel of Life. Please do follow our various articles and feel free to post comments, ask questions or suggest a topic of your own!

O Mary, bright dawn of the new world, Mother of the living, to you do we entrust the cause of life: Look down, O Mother, upon the vast numbers of babies not allowed to be born, of the poor whose lives are made difficult, of men and women who are victims of brutal violence, of the elderly and the sick killed by indifference or out of misguided mercy. Grant that all who believe in your Son may proclaim the Gospel of life with honesty and love to the people of our time. Obtain for them the grace to accept that Gospel as a gift ever new, the joy of celebrating it with gratitude throughout their lives and the courage to bear witness to it resolutely, in order to build, together with all people of good will, the civilization of truth and love, to the praise and glory of God, the Creator and lover of life. AMEN

What we're all about

We are a group of parishioners from St John the Evangelist Catholic Church in the diocese of Arundel & Brighton who, through a mixture of our faith and our personal experiences, are convinced of the immeasurable value of each and every human life at every stage and through every challenge. "Blessed the man whose help comes from you, who has set his heart on reaching you. They pass through the valley of thirst and make a spring there: the morning rain will cover it with blessings." (Psalm 84)
