They're sure ready for the new 40 Days for Life campaign that starts tomorrow in Shreveport, Louisiana!

Deacon John, They're sure ready for the new 40 Days for Life campaign that starts tomorrow in Shreveport, Louisiana! Steve Karlen and I joined a big crowd of volunteers for their kickoff rally ... and we learned this campaign is about to reach a landmark.

In eleven previous vigils, the team here is aware of 99 babies whose lives have been spared from abortion. The next will be Number 100! Chris, the local in leader in Shreveport, says "The thing about 40 Days for Life is that they train you and then join you. Their leaders are at the vigils ... and helping us lead campaigns. It all starts in the grassroots ... and they get everywhere!"

The volunteers couldn't wait to add their signatures to the sides of the 40 Days for Life bus ... as well as the front, the back -- any available space! We never get tired of this sort of enthusiasm ... and it's much the same at each of the more than 340 locations where vigils will start tomorrow. Have you found your local campaign yet? If not ... it's time! https://40daysforlife.com/browse-campaigns/

Augusta, Maine Augusta volunteers stood and prayed next to huge piles of snow. Janet, the local leader, was encouraged with both the turnout and the fact that there were at least "a few patches of grass peeking out of the snow" ... [more]

Cincinnati, Ohio As the Cincinnati team started their 18th 40 Days for Life vigil, volunteers at the kickoff were reminded of the importance of coming together for life with hope of positive change for future generations ... [more]

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land. -- 2 Chronicles 7:14 Heavenly Father, we cry out for Your mercy and ask you to remove the scourge of abortion from our land. Use us as your vessels, Lord, to bring the light of Your truth to our nation once again. See today's full devotional.

Once again ... please find the location nearest you ... and join your hometown vigil tomorrow: https://40daysforlife.com/browse-campaigns/ For life,

A Catholic Russia?

By Matt C. Abbott

A brief news item followed by a book review:

From Aid to the Church in Need (Feb. 21): The Foreign Office of the Moscow Patriarchate held an international seminar at the end of January, during which the Orthodox and Catholic churches jointly addressed the issue of abortion....

Both churches share a deep anxiety in the face of the million-fold killing of unborn children. When Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill of Moscow met in Havana one year ago, the protection of life – besides the persecution of Christians in the Middle East – was one of the most important issues mentioned in their joint declaration. The Moscow seminar was thus a direct result of this historic meeting.

The protection of life is an issue on which the two churches completely agree, also in terms of theology. This makes it easy to take joint, concrete steps in the spirit of ecumenism. The seminar focused on analyzing the situation, but also and particularly on finding solutions. The seminar was a platform for personal encounters and for an intense and constructive exchange of experiences. The Catholic Church has vast international experience on this front and the Orthodox Church can learn from this.
