Every October, we celebrate Respect Life Month. We consider more deeply why every human life is valuable and reflect on how to build a culture that protects life from conception to natural death.

This year for respect life month the USCCB theme is RADICAL SOLIDARITY.

“Radical solidarity ‘refers to something more than a few sporadic acts of generosity. It presumes the creation of a new mindset.’ A culture of solidarity ‘gets involved by word and deed in people’s daily lives…and embraces human life, touching the suffering flesh of Christ in others.’

We each have our particular gifts, role, and obligation within the Body of Christ to help build a culture of life. We must honestly ask ourselves, “What radical, out-of-the-ordinary, actions have I taken to help a pregnant or parenting mother (father) in need, or to proactively contribute to a culture of life in some other way?” USCCB
