Prayers for Life this Weekend
This weekend is the big pro-abortion march in Washington, DC. Unsurprisingly, it will be attended by numerous Hollywood celebrities and politicians alike. I think the best thing pro-life proponents can do is pray for those attending and for the children in danger of being aborted.
At this point the abortion debate is polarized - those who believe a woman should be able to kill her child aren't interested in listening to pro-lifers. And frankly, there's nothing that can be said that would convince me that abortion is a social good, as pro-abortion supporters want us to believe. We can only depend on the Holy Spirit to open the eyes and hearts of those who have the power to end this holocaust on America's children.
So this weekend, please take time to pray that God will be with us. And pray that God will lead our country to embrace life over death in all forms (death penalty, euthanasia, etc.).
The silence of those who have been aborted is deafening. Let our prayers fill the empty space.
God bless,
Jay

Your prayer that God will lead your country to embrace life over death in all forms (death penalty, euthanasia, etc.) reminds me that Pro-Life means more than condemning abortion, embracing the life of the innocent unborn, and support for the mother.
It also means embracing the lives of the not so innocent on death row, and the lives of the elderly and sick whose have little purpose in the eyes of this world.
Would you consider renaming the "abortion" section of this blog to "Pro-Life" or "Culture of Life" (to use the words of the Holy Father).
