  • At Pentecost, the Apostles were strengthened in their mission as witnesses of Jesus, to announce the good news to all peoples. All of us who believe in Him have the happy duty of announcing the marvels which God has worked in His Son and in all those who believe in Him.

  • When we, as pro-life Catholics, realize that our sanctification and the apostolic effectiveness of our lives depends upon our correspondence with the motions of the Holy Spirit, we must ask Him to heal our infirmity, enkindle our tepidity, and direct our straying steps since we know that within us there are many defects.

  • Let us ask then for a greater docility that leads us to welcome the inspirations and touches of the Paraclete with purity of heart. Only then will our witness as a “People for Life” be effective for the transformation of our culture.
