May kindness and truth meet

Day of Penance* for Violations
to the Dignity of the Human Person
 
*In all the dioceses of the United States of America, January 22
(or January 23, when the 22nd falls on a Sunday) shall be
observed as a particular day of penance for violations to the
dignity of the human person committed through acts of abortion,
and of prayer for the full restoration of the legal guarantee of the
right to life.
--- General Instruction of the Roman Missal (U.S.), 2003, n. 373
 
 
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

Federico Barocci ~ Ultima Cena - The Last Supper
 
“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.”
 
Justin Cardinal Rigali

"In the Bread which came down from heaven, the family will 
be able to find the support that will keep it united in the face 
of today's threats and will preserve it as a bastion of life, 
steadfast against the culture of death." - St John Paul II

"If people spent one hour per week in Eucharistic Adoration,
abortion would be ended."~ Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
