As he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the the highest!" And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples." He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out." ~Luke 19: 37-40

God calls us, who know so well His goodness and the beauty of His works, to raise our voices unceasingly in defense of the dignity of Life.

Novena to St. Gerard, Patron Saint of Pregnant Mothers and Childbirth, begins today

Novena to St. Gerard Majella 
Patron Saint of Pregnant Mothers and of Childbirth
October 8th through 16th

St. Gerard,
You worshipped Jesus as the Lord of Life.
I ask you today to pray 
For my special intention.
(Mention intention here.)
Lift up to Jesus
All those who seek to conceive a child,
All those having difficult pregnancies,
All who have suffered the loss of a child,
And all who lovingly lift up their children to God.
Pray that all of us, 
By caring for mothers, fathers, and children 
born and unborn
May build a Culture of Life
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
