Reflections & Information
Each year the Reverence for Life Commission tries to engage people on three levels: spirit, heart, and mind. These reflections, aim to do that. There is also a rich set of new and spiritual articles that look to draw connections between the many life issues that we are concerned with as all people at all times, places, and stages of life are precious. Our lives are a gift.
