Join The CatholicTV Network for a solemn and prayerful Daily Mass celebration as we observe a Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children.

In today’s moving Homily, Father John Sheridan reflects on the sanctity of human life and our profound calling to protect and preserve it from conception to natural death. Drawing from the account of David’s mercy toward Saul, Father Sheridan emphasizes that our God is tender and full of compassion. He invites us to be "faithful to our calling" to proclaim the dignity of every person, especially the most vulnerable, as we mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade with a spirit of prayer and hope for restoration.

As we celebrate the Eucharist, let us pray that the "saving mysteries" we receive may increase our respect for the gift of human life everywhere.
