Priests and People for Life – Part 2

Published on:

During His earthly ministry, Jesus reached out to the marginalized of His day, such as the lepers, the Samaritans, and the tax collectors. Inspired by Jesus’ example, Frank Pavone has led Priests for Life for 30 years to save vulnerable, pre-born children. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Pavone points out that if Jesus is Lord of human life, then babies in the womb are sacred.

Matthew 25:40 says, “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”
