40 Days for Life: Inspired and Sustained by the Holy Spirit
Shawn Carney, co-founder of 40 Days for Life, describes the early days of its formation and rapid expansion as heroes from across the country join the pro life movement.
O Mary, Mother of the Life Within, all life we entrust to you; The life of every expectant mother and the child within her womb; The life of every human body, the life of every human soul; The life of every newborn child and the life of all grown old. You held the Lord to your own heart and drew Him so close in. So draw us now in all our needs, O Mother of the Life Within. Amen.
Prayer to End Abortion
Lord God, I thank You today for the gift of my life, and for the lives of all my brothers and sisters. I know that there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion, yet I rejoice that You have conquered death by the Ressurection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in ending abortion. Today I commit myself never to be silent, never to be passive, never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement, and never to stop defending life until all my brothers and sisters are protected, and our nation once again becomes a nation of liberty and justice not just for some, but for all. Through Christ our Lord. Amen!
Defend Life!
"Never tire of firmly speaking out in defense of life from its conception, and do not be deterred from the commitment to defend the dignity of every human person with courageous determination. Christ is with you: be not afraid!" ~ Pope John Paul II ~
The First Priority
"The first priority will consist in restoring a sense of the acceptance of life as a gift from God...the arrival of a child is always a gift, a blessing from God. Today it is high time to place greater emphasis on this: every human being, every tiny human person, however weak, is created 'in the image and likeness of God' (Gen. 1:27)." ~ Pope Benedict XVI ~
I am a Roman Catholic wife, mother, and grandmother who -YES- has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ! What could be more personal than
receiving His Precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in Holy Communion every day, or spending precious time with Him in daily Eucharistic adoration? Outside of heaven, I can't be closer to Jesus than when He gives Himself to me in Holy Communion or when I bask in His Eucharistic Presence.
