40 Days For Life: DAY 10: Signs Save Lives

 

 

A good pro-life sign is a useful tool at a 40 Days for Life vigil. It tells passersby that you're not standing around waiting for a bus. You're praying for an end to abortion. But while many pro-life signs open the door for lifesaving conversations, others aren't so helpful...at least on the sidewalk. On this week's episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we look at 5 signs that don't save lives...and 5 that do: To watch or listen, click the image or visit: 40daysforlife.com/5-signs-that-dont-save-lives Don't have a sign? 40daysforlifegear.com has you covered. A number of signs are steeply discounted...while supplies last: 40daysforlifegear.com/collections/signs-all Bellevue, Nebraska The 40 Days for Life campaign in Bellevue had a big day when students from a Chesterton Academy school spent an hour and a half holding signs and praying in front of the local abortion facility. And that's not the only reason it was a big day. Judy showed an eight-week fetal model to an abortion client who was, you guessed it, eight weeks pregnant. "She did not speak English well," Judy explained. "So two of my Spanish-speaking friends...came over to speak with her." That conversation led to a visit to the local pregnancy help center, where the mom chose life--even after more than one abortion worker came outside to try to talk her back into having an abortion! Seoul, South Korea It's been just five years since abortion was decriminalized on the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. The legalization of abortion has been an unmitigated disaster, as the country now has one of the highest abortion rates and lowest birth rates in the world. But 40 Days for Life participants are working hard to save lives and souls in Seoul. The Catholic Diocese of Seoul, the Knights of Columbus, the Franciscans, and a group of pro-life doctors form the backbone of the local vigil. "We support and interact with each other in other areas of the pro-life movement," wrote the Seoul leadership team. And he said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?" But they did not understand what he said to them. He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. --Luke 2:49-51 Lord, we trust that you are always with us even as we encounter the mysteries of life, both great and small. Please give us the grace to accept your will for our lives, especially in the moments when we cannot fully understand how your plan will work together for good.
