Pope To Include Pro-Life Vigil in This Year's "Vespers for the Start of Advent!"
By Michelle Laque Johnson
Pope Benedict will hold a prayer vigil for unborn babies on Nov. 27, the evening before the First Sunday of Advent, at St. Peter's Basilica in conjunction with Vespers for the Start of Advent and he is requesting that parishes, religious communities, associations and movements the world over host vigils in communion with him.
"The season of preparation for Christmas is an appropriate time for invoking divine protection over every human being called into existence and for thanking God for the gift of life we received from our parents," the Pope said.
This Vigil for Nascent Human Life, which has pro-life leaders rejoicing, will be held after Vespers for the Start of Advent. EWTN will televise both celebrations beginning at 11 a.m. ET, Sat., Nov. 27.
The Pope said he will pray for the unborn and their parents, for an end to abortion and research that destroys embryos, for recognition of the dignity of every human life, for the overturning of laws that permit the destruction of innocent lives, and for the healing of those who have acted against innocent human life.
He asks that all diocesan bishops (and their equivalent) preside over similar celebrations involving Catholics in every state of life around the world.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops offers four different options for celebrating the vigil. While the options include varying combinations of a Marian procession, evening prayer, rosary and benediction, the Conference says each must include exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and benediction.
The USCCB says many dioceses have already made plans to celebrate this special Vigil in union with our Holy Father and the Church around the world. For those who wish to celebrate with the Pope himself, you simply need to tune into EWTN for what is sure to be one of the blessings for which you thank God this year.
To our American Catholic family, we extend our best wishes for a happy and holy Thanksgiving!
