Going to March for Life

[crazzeto]

My wife an I will be driving to Washington DC tomorrow to spend the weekend there, then cap it off by attempting to join our group from our Parish at the March for Life (the march we will do, joining our group specifically…). Please pray for us, and all those going to Washington DC to witness for life!

Heavenly Father, in Your love for us, protect against the wickedness of the devil, those helpless little ones to whom You have given the gift of life. Touch with pity the hearts of those women pregnant in our world today who are not thinking of motherhood.
Help them to see that the child they carry is made in Your image - as well as theirs - made for eternnal life. Dispel their fear and selfishness and give them true womanly hearts to love their babies and give them birth and all the needed care that a mother alone can give.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kindgom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliever us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen.

Thanks for the prayers, we ended up having some issues with our 10 month old being cold and wet so we went to the Rally, couldn’t quite do the full march. But we were able to witness, photograph and share the photo’s on our social network. This was very important, because it seems the vast majority of news networks are making it sound like:

1. The march was very small and insgificant
2. There were more pro-choice protesters
3. or at least equal numbers
4. No coverage at all, didn’t happen

Or some combination of 1-3. In reality there were hundreds of thousands marching for life, perhaps 20 (from what I hear) for choice. I actually never ran into pro-choicers there.

Additionally, I read that at the first ever youth rally, some occupy folks tried playing out of the “liberal playbook” of creating chaos to get your agenda advanced. 20 of them showed up at the rally and began angerly shouting pro-choice slogans. Priests for life first asked the students to pray while security was called, then while they waited turned on the music and had the kids generate noise. As it turns out, 20 occupy folk can match up to 1,000+ kids making noise. They were drown out, security removed the protesters, and the rally continued uninterupted.

Glory to God in the Highest.
