Will you come and pray one hour with us each week this Lent to pray for a culture of life in Scotland? 40 Days for Life is a growing grassroots prolife lay movement which seeks to replace the culture of death with a culture of life. 2018 marked the 50th anniversary of the implementation of abortion in the UK. During this time the UK has aborted 9 million babies. Half a million of these babies have been Scottish children (Source: ISD Online) Abortion is the leading individual cause of death around the world. In his encyclical Evangelium Vitae (Gospel of Life) Pope St John Paul 11 wrote ‘To defend and promote life, to show reverence and love for it, is a task which God entrusts to every man’ EV para 42 ‘What is urgently called for is a general mobilisation of consciences and a united ethical effort to activate a great campaign in support of life. All together, we must build a new culture of life: EV para 95.
