Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children On January 22, 2022, all dioceses in the United States are called to observe a Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children, and for the loving support for their families before and after birth. It is never too late to seek the Lord's mercy and healing through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. His greatest desire is to forgive us, pouring out His infinite mercy upon us so that we may be healed. If you or someone you know is suffering after abortion, confidential, compassionate help is available. You can find out more information about the Catholic Church's ministry for healing after abortion by visiting www.hopeafterabortion.com. Let us take courage and offer prayer and penance, that all human life would be welcomed in love and protected in law.
