October is Respect Life Month. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has multiple resources available for download.
This year, the materials focus on the connection between the Eucharist and respect for human life, highlighting Jesus’ message to our culture and to each of us: “I came so that they might have life” (Jn 10:10).
Novena Oct. 22-30
This novena prays for the protection of human life from conception to natural death. Each day of the novena features a different pro-life prayer intention that is accompanied by a short reflection and suggested actions to help build a culture of life.
