Pro-Life March In Washington, D.C. (and more)

We pray today for all those participating in the March for Life in Washington, D.C.  May their faithful witness to the dignity and sacred value of each human life from conception through natural death be a blessing to our country.

I received the photo above of children playing during recess at one of our Catholic schools in Wyoming.  The piled up snow from their playground created a fun space to play.  It made me chuckle as I thought back to when I was principal of a school in Missouri.  Playground monitors always made sure our students stayed away from any snow-covered areas during recess.  It is a different perspective in Wyoming where the mound of snow becomes the ideal place to play.

We have many different perspectives in life based upon our education, background and life experiences.  However, I think most of us can agree on the beauty of watching children play and having fun.  Their joy and innocence is refreshing.

How can it be that we as a nation still have such a large percentage of people advocating for abortion rights?  When the issue came to the forefront following the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Roe vs. Wade, the assurances from the proponents of abortion rights were that they wanted abortion to be safe, legal, and rare.  Compare that to their slogan now of, "Abortion on demand and without apology."  Where does that perspective originate?

It is my hope and prayer that we will someday create a culture of life in which abortion becomes unthinkable.  We still have a lot of work to do before that happens.

For my Cheyenne readers--
I will be leading a pro-life holy hour this evening (Friday) from 7:00 to 8:00 P.M. at the Cathedral of St. Mary.  We will have exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, a Scripture reading with a brief reflection, a rosary, and finally benediction.

Tomorrow's activities begin at 9:00 A.M. with Mass at the Cathedral of St. Mary.  A complimentary breakfast in Hartmann Hall will follow Mass.  The program at the Depot begins at 11:00 A.M.  the march begins at 12:00 noon sharp.  Lunch is available at the Knights of Columbus Hall following the march.

​The banquet tomorrow evening will feature Dr. Alveda King as the keynote speaker.  (Tickets to the banquet had to be purchased in advance.)

      "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good.  His mercy endures forever."
