News Release

The National Black Catholic Apostolate for Life Board of Consultants

and our many affiliates throughout the United States mourn the tragic

death of Terri Shiavo on Thursday, March 31, 2005.

Why are you cast down, my soul,

why groan within me?

Hope in God: I will praise him still,

my savior and my God.

Psalm 42:12

We pray for the soul of Terri Schindler Schiavo may she rest in peace.

We extend our sincere sympathy to all who are suffering from her lost of life.

We pray for the healing of hearts, minds, and souls within her family.

We pray without ceasing for the sacredness of life in all of its stages.

Mary Mother of God and Mother of Life pray for us to God, alleluia.
