Every year in October, the Church in the U.S. celebrates Respect Life Month, during which we are challenged to look at how we cherish, protect and defend the most precious gift from God: the gift of life, because every life comes from God, has been created in God's own image, and has been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ The U.S. Bishops have provided us with material on many Respect Life topics on which to reflect, to possibly spur us on to action, and to even apply them to our own life and circumstances. Through October, Deacon Ron’s bulletin column will present some of those topics, and you can find all of the topics and other Respect Life material at https://www.respectlife.org/october
