Prayers for the sanctity of all human life will be offered on the National Night of Prayer for Life, Dec. 8-9. Catholic New Yorkers will pray with parishes across the country to end abortion and all offenses against the dignity of the human person, to make reparation for these sins and pray for the healing of those who are suffering. It is an excellent opportunity to pray for the success of the Dobbs v Jackson case at the Supreme Court, which has the potential to overturn the Roe v Wade decision.
