pro-life

January is traditionally a month with a pro-life focus, with the Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children on Jan. 22 and the annual March for Life on Jan. 23. As Christians, we are called to build a culture of life in which every human life is protected and cherished.

January 22 is the Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children. Father Mark Baron, MIC, reminds us that the battle to protect innocent, unborn life continues.

Father Chris Alar, MIC reflects on the Feast of the Holy Innocents, observed on Dec. 28 within the Octave of Christmas, which lasts from Christmas Day to January 1.  Then hear the story of Melissa Coles, a powerful lesson in always standing with those who are the most vulnerable.

Are all human beings biologically identical, or, is each person distinct — one from another? Are there not many shared similarities in terms of biological traits — while each individual remains exclusively unique and unrepeatable? Father Kenneth Dos Santos, MIC, explains in his latest column for CatholicStand.com.

As we honor the annual March for Life on Jan. 24, consider one woman's transition from pro-abortion activist to pro-life champion, demonstrating the influence of accurate, scientifically-based information, the contagious joy of the pro-life movement, and the power of prayer.
