Day for Life

Every year at this time, the Church celebrates a 'Day for Life.' This was proposed by Blessed John Paul II in the 1990s.
In England and Wales this year the Day has been linked to the Olympic Games. The theme of the material is  reverence for the human body. If we have a proper reverence for our own bodies and the bodies of others, such horrors as euthanasia, abortion, pornography, violence and various forms of abuse become unthinkable.
You may like to use this prayer and/or this reflection to enter into the spirit of the Day.
The special collection will support various pro-life organisations supported by the Church including the Anscombe Bioethics Centre.
