I join the March for Life in Washington with my prayers. May God help us respect all life, especially the most vulnerable

"The irony is that many people think of us Catholics as people of No —– don’t do this, don’t do that. In reality we are the people of Yes — yes to God, yes to life, yes to compassion for the poor and suffering, yes to the solidarity and community that make us messengers of joy even in a valley of tears." -Sean Cardinal O'Malley, Homily, National Vigil Mass for Life
