Respect Life Program Homily Helps Packet (2018)
Respect Life Program Homily Helps Packet
The Respect Life Program, sponsored by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, started in 1972 and begins anew each October—the month set aside by the U.S. bishops as “Respect Life Month.”
It’s a year-round, nationwide effort by leaders like you to help Catholics understand, value, and become engaged with building a culture that cherishes every human life.
The U.S. bishops produce printed and digital tools to help leaders throughout the Church integrate the Gospel of Life into their work or ministry.
The following readings and suggested notes are provided to assist with sharing the message of missionary discipleship in relation to God’s gift of human life. The notes unpack the 2018-2019 Respect Life theme, “Every Life: Cherished, Chosen, Sent” and integrate the readings of Sunday, October 7, 2018 (Respect Life Sunday).
