In CCSJ’s Newsletter which will be distributed in time for Respect For Life Week ( October 6 – 13), we share with the faithful extracts from the Note with pastoral recommendations for the Year of Faith, issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. This note invites the faithful “to read closely and meditate upon Pope Benedict XVI’s Apostolic Letter, Porta Fidei (the “door of Faith”). Inter alia, the Holy Father encourages us to learn more about the great figures of our faith, including Mary, the apostles, the saints, martyrs and confessors (Porta Fidei, 13).
