I was recently inspired to begin a new series on my blog!

The new series is called Saint Spotlight.
All Hallows Eve, All Saints and All Souls Day

Litany of Trust
Each October the Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month, and the first Sunday of October is observed as Respect Life Sunday.

During the month of October, the Church asks us to reflect more deeply on the dignity of every human life (Respect Life).
In honor of Respect Life Month I’d like to share a prayer from the Sisters of Life, a religious order whose mission is to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life.
