 Reflection

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's announcement that he will retire has catapulted Roe v. Wade into the news. Pro-abortion groups are pulling out all the stops to urge the U.S. Senate to reject any nominee who does not promise to publicly endorse Roe. And they are misrepresenting the legal and social reality of Roe and what would happen if it is overturned.

The upcoming Supreme Court vacancy provides us with an occasion requiring focused prayer. The USCCB does not support or oppose the confirmation of any presidential nominee. However, given this historic moment, the U.S. bishops are urging all people of good will to pray for nine weeks—starting Friday—that a change in the U.S. Supreme Court may move our nation closer to the day when every human being is protected in law and welcomed in life.

Acts of Reparation: 

  • Pray for the protection of religious freedom in our country and around the world. (Prayer card available to order.) 
  • Readthis short flyer on Saints Thomas More and John Fisher. How do their witnesses apply to our lives today? 
  • Reflect upon what Pope Francis has said regarding religious freedom and "polite persecution."
