DAY FOR LIFE


"In England and Wales, today the Church of England and Wales celebrate Day for Life. This year’s theme is The Wonder of the Child in the Womb. The Church teaches that life is to be nurtured from conception to natural death. We remember at the weekend masses all the unborn children and their parents.


Pope Leo, in a special way, offered his prayers for parents grieving after the tragedy of the death of a child.


“His Holiness prays that all parents grieving the loss of a child, especially an infant, may find comfort and peace in the knowledge of God’s love for them and for their child, “for to him all of them are alive” (Luke 20:38).” “It is likewise his hope that these parents find the support they need in the Church community and especially in a life nourished by prayer and by the Sacraments.”
