Brother Knights,

Have you asked yourself, what does it take to answer the call outlined by Pope John II in The Gospel of Life (Evangelium Vitae, 1995)? The answer, my Brothers is simple, one must dedicate himself to Pro-life activities and promoting respect for the dignity of the human person.

We have been provided with wonderful examples of what can be done. The Little Sisters of the Poor were recognized for their dedication in serving the elderly poor. The HHS mandate would make the Little Sisters facilitate access to abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization and contraceptives in their employee health plan or face punitive fines. Because they serve and hire persons who are not Catholic, the Little Sisters are not considered a “religious employer.” In September 2013, they filed a class-action lawsuit, Little Sisters of the Poor vs. Sebelius, to persist in their ministry without having to violate their beliefs.

Brother Knights, you can also take action. Begin today, by merely writing a letter to your elected representatives.

Please reflect and pray on what you have read. I leave you with a prayer.

O Blessed Mother,
Pray for us your children
That we may be strong against the forces of death.
Look down upon the babies not allowed to be born,
On the poor, on the victims of social injustice,
On the elderly and sick killed by the indifference or misguided mercy.
Help us appreciate the miracle of life as a gift from God,
And may we become a People of Life! Amen
Don’t Let The Devil’s Work Go Unchallenged – Get Involved!

God Bless,
Hector Garcia
