‘God has a plan of love for every person. … We still need to work every day to build a society where every person will know the warmth of human love and every person will have what they need to lead their lives with dignity.’
Editor’s Note: On Jan. 21, Archbishop José Gomez hosted a daylong celebration of the sanctity and dignity of life in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The archdiocese’s annual OneLife LA event, which includes a march for life and a family festival, concludes with the annual “Requiem Mass for the Unborn,” which remembers innocent lives lost through abortion in Los Angeles during the previous year. The following is adapted from the archbishop’s homily at the Mass. It is reprinted with permission.

We also pray for a new awakening of love — in our hearts and in the hearts of our neighbors.
In the Gospel, Jesus is walking by the Sea of Galilee, and we are told that he “saw” his first disciples, the brothers Peter and Andrew, James and John.
Jesus was looking for them. And he is looking for us. This the truth about our lives: We live in the presence of God, always under the loving eyes of Our Lord.
