Today is the Memorial of St. Josephine Bakhita (1869 - 1947), who was sold into slavery as a child but eventually she was freed and joined religious life as a young woman. It also is the World Day of Prayer Against Human Trafficking, which Saint Bakhita is patron of human-trafficking survivors. On this day, we offer the following prayer:

St. Josephine Bakhita, you were sold into slavery as a child
and endured untold hardship and suffering.

Once liberated from your physical enslavement,
you found true redemption in your encounter with Christ and his Church.

O St. Bakhita, assist all those who are trapped in a state of slavery;
Intercede with God on their behalf so that they will be released
from their chains of captivity.

Those whom man enslaves, let God set free.

Provide comfort to survivors of slavery and
let them look to you as an example of hope and faith.

Help all survivors find healing from their wounds.

We ask for your prayers and intercessions for those enslaved among us. Amen.

National Marriage Week is observed from February 7-14 and is an opportunity to focus on building a culture of life and love that begins with supporting and promoting marriage and the family.

This year's theme, "Marriage...one flesh, given and received," highlights the one-flesh union of husband and wife that is willed by God.

It also indicates the personal self-gift of each spouse, one to the other.

These concepts point to Christ who gives Himself under the appearance of bread and wine — as real flesh and blood.

THE PRO-LIFE GENERATION IS NOW ❤️

Grab your spot at diocesecc.org/texasrallyforlife!

Join thousands of Texans from across the state at the 2023 Texas Rally for Life on Saturday, January 28. Chartered buses will depart from Corpus Christi to Austin, Texas.

This event commemorates the Supreme Court’s tragic Roe v. Wade decision that imposed legal abortion on Texas and the entire nation throughout all nine months of pregnancy and celebrates the overturning of the terrible precedent set in 1973 … let’s continue the work of turning the tide against this injustice.

Show our elected officials, the media, and the Supreme Court that Texas is pro-life!
