If you haven't added the 365 Days to Mercy app (made available by Our Sunday Visitor) to your smart phone...DO IT! Seriously. It has all kinds of features, including a daily reflection on mercy, daily summaries on the Mass readings, the Spiritual and Corporal works of mercy, the Chaplet, even a link to the Pope's Twitter account. I usually read the mercy reflections while I'm brushing my teeth first thing in the morning. All that being said, here is yesterday's reflection:
"'Among the vulnerable for whom the Church wishes to care with particular love and concern are unborn children, the most defenseless and innocent among us...Defense of unborn life is closely linked to the defense of each and every other human right. It involves the conviction that a human being is always sacred and inviolable in any situation and at every stage of development. Human beings are ends in themselves and never a means of resolving other problems. Once this conviction disappears, so do solid and lasting foundations for the defense of human rights, which would always be subject to the passing whims of the powers that be.' (Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium) PRAY: Send forth your Spirit, O Lord, and renew the face of the earth."
