DAY FOR LIFE 2010

Lord, for your faithful people, life is changed, not ended provides the theme for this year's Day for Life – the day dedicated to raising awareness about the meaning and value of human life at every stage and in every condition.

Day for Life 2010 aims to present the Church's teaching on death; it will highlight the importance of the sacrament of the sick, of praying for the dead and of accompanying the dying person as they journey towards God. It will also point towards the consoling presence and support of the community of faith and all of those who 'have gone before us marked with the sign of faith'.

The proceeds of the second collection will go to The Anscombe Bioethics Centre (formerly the Linacre Centre for Healthcare Ethics) and other life-related activities supported by the Church. Your parish has a Gift Aid envelope.

Day for Life Prayer
We thank you Lord for the gift of life. Help us to appreciate the unique dignity of every human person and the individual contribution they make to the world, in fulfilment of the task you give them.
Enable us by your grace to promote their well-being, serving you in one another in a spirit of generosity, through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
