Father John Corapi Says, " WAKE UP AMERICA! "

The good news is that an unprecedented number of Americans are waking up to the CRITICAL NEED TO ACTIVELY FIGHT the atrocity of abortion in our nation! People who have been pro-life at heart, but quietly so, have heard God's call to join the pro-life veterans on the battlefront for the sake of those ENTRAPPED in the culture of death. These good Samaritans are reaching out by the thousands to be courageous VISIBLE WITNESSES for the Gospel of Life on behalf of all of the victims of this national holocaust.

Scientific Facts of Human Genetics

"Science teaches that human life begins at conception. If it is also true that it is affirmed by religion, it does not for that reason cease to be a strictly scientific truth, to be transformed into a religious opinion. He who denies that human life begins with conception does not need to contend with religion, but science. To deny this certainty of biology is not to express a lack of faith, but a lack of basic knowledge of human genetics, something that is even known by the general public."

40 DAYS FOR LIFE DAY 5: MORE THAN WE CAN IMAGINE

Mary, Mother of the Unborn

It is an encouraging sign to see the prayer initiatives being inspired by the Holy Spirit to help bring about an end to abortion! In addition to the 40 Days for Life Campaign that began September 23, 2009, there are very many groups and individuals throughout the world praying, fasting, offering up sufferings, witnessing and working to help bring an end to the great destroyer of lives, abortion.

The Saint Michael the Archangel Organization has scheduled their second annual WORLDWIDE ROSARY FOR UNBORN BABIES on October 16-17-18 of this year. Cardinal Francis Arinze, Archbishop Raymond Burke, and Mother Assumpta, (Prioress General of the Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist), are encouraging participation in this worldwide Rosary. The organization's hope is to offer one million Rosaries during the scheduled three day period asking the Blessed Mother's powerful intercession. A person wishing to participate is asked to pray at least one Rosary during those three days "for an end to the surgical and non-surgical killing of unborn human persons." There are other suggestions of ways to help on their website.

The Tragedy of Christi's Choice

When 17-year-old Christi made the choice to have an abortion on her eighteenth birthday, there was obviously going to be one victim of the procedure, her tiny unborn baby. However, there was no way to predict the tragic consequences that her decision would have on her life and that of her parents.

Pray for Abortion Providers

Abortion has claimed countless victims. The obvious victims are the millions of precious unborn babies who are denied the chance to live outside of the womb. Those related to the unborn are also victims, even if they don't realize it. Mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, and cousins--all their lives are affected by the loss of that unborn baby, a life that was meant to enrich their lives in ways known only to God. The whole of humanity is victimized by abortion because God had a plan for the lives of the aborted unborn babies that was meant to benefit the rest of us. What is good for one is good for all because we are all one body in Christ. For the same reason, what is harmful to one is harmful to all. God's plan is always best--Love being Who He is and what motivates all of His decisions. It is humans who interfere with His perfect plan and destroy the life of love, peace and joy that He desires for all of His children.

It is important to pray for abortion providers and for their conversion of heart. They are also victims of the cruel machinations of the prince of darkness and his accomplices in evil who seek the destruction of all of God's children, either before or after birth. None of us are exempt from his wicked plan to deceive all of us who have a chance at eternal happiness in heaven with our Creator. His envy and anger know no bounds as he seeks to destroy the purity of souls and lead them away from God and into the misery of eternal damnation along with him.

Many abortion providers have had a change of heart, thanks be to our merciful God, and have formed the Society of Centurions. They are in need of spiritual support in their journey to reconciliation, forgiveness and healing. According to Dr. Philip Ney in The Centurion's Pathway:

"The factors that changed their opinion on performing abortions, in the following order of frequency were:

evidence of the infant's humanity,

a spiritual experience,

personal distress,

evidence of the mother's distress,

scientific articles,

being accepted as a person,

a personal relationship with a pro-lifer,

pro-life pickets."
