Vigil for All Nascent Human Life

The Holy Father has asked Catholics throughout the world to join him in a vigil for all nascent human life. This vigil is an opportunity to pray for the unborn on this First Sunday of Advent, and I would encourage all Catholics to attend vigils in your area if they’re available. If not, the USCCB has guides available to download and use. For home use, the Simplified Option 1 contains Evening Prayer and Benediction as part of the vigil, and could be used with the exclusion of the Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. This is the option I’ll be using as part of our vigil tonight at 6:30 PM, following the anticipatory Mass.
