Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time – October 2, 2011 – Respect Life Sunday
“Look down from heaven and see;
Take care of this vine,
And protect what Your right hand has planted” (Psalm 80)
We proclaim that human life is a precious gift from God; that each person who receives this gift has responsibilities toward God, self and others; and that society, through its laws and social institutions, must protect and nurture human life at every stage of its existence. –
