Walking across Canada for life: 10 college students and 1 professor

VANCOUVER, May 26, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - That may look like Pierce Brosnan in a pro-life t-shirt, but it’s not. It’s John Paul Meenan, a professor at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy, the Catholic college in Barry’s Bay, Ontario, who has chosen to join the Crossroads walk across Canada to spread the pro-life message. The team of 11 walkers is made up of eight of his former students, including one Michael Hayden who is this year’s walk leader.

These 11 pro-life apostles are crossing the country on foot, stopping to speak in churches and praying in front of abortion centres along the way to spread the pro-life message to all who will hear.

They all arrived safe and sound in Vancouver BC on Friday, where they were greeted by sunny skies and mountain vistas. The day was filled with various activities, from prepping the support RV and stocking up on supplies to receiving training in pro-life apologetics.

Saturday was an initiation by fire as various members of the team spoke at five Vancouver churches after receiving the blessing of Vancouver Archbishop Michael J. Miller. Saturday also found the walkers participating in a prayer chain outside a local abortion mill.

“At the abortuary we had a beautiful experience among the many negative responses, driving home the spiritual nature of our journey and the protection that the Virgin Mary has over us,” relates walk leader Hayden. “A small child was being carried by her mother past us when she asked her mommy for something, the mother came over and asked us if the child could kiss the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe which we carry with us everywhere we go. This was a beautiful sign from God to give us courage.”

God Bless All of You. This is the Pilgrimage that must gather momentum in the States as well. Until we Catholics get out of our easy chairs and easy lives to hit the road and pray without ceasing abortion will continue because we do not sacrifice like Our Lady tells us to do.
