Kindness and truth shall meet;

justice and peace shall kiss.

Truth shall spring out of the earth,

and justice shall look down from heaven. ~ Ps 85:10,11

“Devotion to the Eucharist leads one to a devotion to life

and a devotion to life leads one to the Eucharist….

 

We receive our strength for our labors for life

from the Good News of Jesus Christ

and from the Holy Eucharist.

 

This is the food that nourishes us for the tasks at hand….

The Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith

and respect for life is our faith's first precept.”

 "If people spent one hour per week in Eucharistic Adoration, abortion would be ended."
