Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, has encouraged bishops to join him on Saturday, November 27, in holding vigils for all nascent human life on the upcoming eve of the First Sunday of Advent. For those, like me, who are unfamiliar with the word “nascent”: nascent life is life that is just coming into existence and beginning to display signs of future potential, what pro-lifers commonly call the unborn or preborn. I’ll be holding one of these vigils here in Malta, even with the busy Thanksgiving weekend, and I hope priests throughout the world will do the same in their parishes.
