MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE - [U.S.A.] (September 1st, 2010) - Persons from various nations have answered the call to participate in the September 29th - October 7th PRO-LIFE NOVENA FOR UNBORN BABIES.

"I am very thankful for each person who has registered to be a participant in the PRO-LIFE NOVENA FOR UNBORN BABIES," said Patrick Benedict, President of the Saint Michael the Archangel Organization, the organization that is coordinating the Novena.
"No other group of people has ever suffered such a massacre as have the unborn babies. It has been stated that some one billion unborn babies have been surgically killed during the last 50 or so years, and this tragic number of deaths does not even include the unborn human persons who have been killed non-surgically.
"The PRO-LIFE NOVENA FOR UNBORN BABIES is a great opportunity to express one's love for the unborn babies. I strongly urge every pro-lifer to be a part of this nine-day spiritual battle to protect the lives of the unborn babies," concluded Benedict.

The first recorded Novena amongst Christians began the day after Christ's Ascension into heaven. It was a Friday, and the ones who gathered to pray included Christ's ever-Virgin Mother and His Apostles. After nine days, on Pentecost Sunday, the third Person of the Blessed Trinity descended upon those who had been praying. In the 2nd chapter of The Acts of the Apostles, it is recorded: "...they were all filled with the Holy Ghost..."
Countless novenas have taken place since that Novena, and the list will soon include the September 29th - October 7th, 2010 PRO-LIFE NOVENA FOR UNBORN BABIES.
