This week we celebrate the 27th Sunday in Ordinary time and also begin October, which is “Respect Life Month”. I was able to attend the Mass beginning 40 Days For Life with our Bishop David O’Connell at the Co- Cathedral of Saint Robert Bellarmine. Bishop urged the faithful to pray for a change of hearts when it comes to life. We can take advantage of this month and pray the Holy Rosary for life. Our Rosarians will be praying the Rosary before all the Masses during the month of October. Please feel free to join us.

This weekend is also Respect Life weekend, and the United States bishops and our own Bishop have urged us to pray for life in a special way this weekend. May God affect all of our hearts to see the beauty of life and to allow our Faith, the Holy Eucharist and our Lord himself to unite us all together on this issue. For prayers for each day of the 40 Days For Life please visit this website for beautiful devo- tional prayers.
