DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Let Him use you

Mother Teresa said that if you can't help a hundred people, just help one.

Starting tomorrow, you'll have the opportunity to do just that. The largest 40 Days for Life campaign in history kicks off in 588 cities around the world.

In
the midst of the pandemic, elections, and now a fight over the Supreme
Court, Jesus Christ wants to use you to bring His peace, clarity, and
joy to our noisy world.

Will you let Him?

Your
prayerful witness on the sidewalk outside abortion facilities from
September 23 - November 1 can calm the noise of the world and save a
baby.

There's no greater joy in life than saving a mother and child from the horrors of abortion, and you can make it happen.

Former abortion workers report that the no-show rate for abortion appointments goes to as high as 75% if someone like you shows up to pray.

When you visit 40daysforlife.com/location and sign up to pray for one hour at a 40 Days for Life vigil, you could spare three out of every four children scheduled to lose their lives in the abortion center!

Again, the largest-ever 40 Days for Life vigil starts TOMORROW. Sign up to pray today!

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.

Once again...please find the location nearest you...and join your hometown vigil tomorrow:

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
