RESPECT LIFE: [W]e are facing an enormous and dramatic clash between good and evil, death and life, the
‘culture of death’ and the ‘culture of life’. We find ourselves
not only ‘faced with’ but necessarily ‘in the midst of’ this
conflict: we are all involved and we all share in it, with the
inescapable responsibility of choosing to be unconditionally
pro-life.

Rachel’s Corner—
Corner—
After abortion, we may find it hard to believe
that God will really forgive us. Others of us
just cannot forgive ourselves. God longs to
give you His great gift of forgiveness. It is the
key to spiritual and emotional freedom.
