“What is man that you should be mindful of him,
or the son of man that you should care for him?
… You have made him little less than the angels,
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him rule over the works of your hands,
putting all things under his feet.” (Psalm 8)
40 Days for Life has now launched in cities around Australia. In Sydney, Bishop Julian Porteous was joined by close to 500 vigilers for an opening Mass, followed by a procession to mark the beginning of the campaign. In this homily he reflects on the great dignity of every human being, and our call to uphold it. N.B. You may need headphones for this one, it’s a bit echoey – sorry đÂ
40 Days for Life 2013 runs from February 13 to March 24. To find out more, or to sign up as a vigiler, head to FLI Australia or the 40 Days for Life website. You can also find out more about the individual city campaigns by visiting the respective pages for Sydney, Melbourne, Croydon (Vic), Brisbane, Tweed Heads, Adelaide and Perth.
