This study guide is designed to be used by an individual or group as a side-by-side companion with the Encyclical itself. Each section of the Encyclical should be prayerfully read, followed by use of the study guide as a “springboard” to delve more deeply into the text and to stimulate reflection and discussion.
It is our hope that as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of this encyclical, this study guide will further facilitate the original intent of its writing, as stated by the Holy Father, to “activate a great campaign in support of life” (n. 95).
