Daily Reflection: Monday, January 23
Monday, January 23
Today is set aside as the “Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children.” Our Catholic teaching reminds us of the dignity of each person at each point in a person’s life.

Many feel lost during these times and take the first solution that comes their way. St. Marianne Cope, a Franciscan Sister from Syracuse who ministered to the lepers in Hawaii, is a good advocate who said: “What little good we can do in this world to help and comfort the suffering, we wish to do it quietly…”
