Washington March for Life Events and Agenda

---

January 18, 2007

The annual March for Life activities begin this Saturday. The series of events culminate in the giant March for Life starting from the Mall very near the White House, and which then goes up Constitution Ave and ends at Capital Hill in front of the Supreme Court which was responsible for the judicial activist Roe v. Wade decision.

Following are links to various sites that list details of the activities from Saturday to Monday, the day of the actual March.

The largest events are the National Vigil for Life mass at the huge Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on Sunday evening, the Rally for Life at the Verizon Centre (formerly MCI stadium) on Monday morning and then the March which follows soon after the Rally for Life.

For those unable to attend, some of the major events can be viewed live on EWTN TV which normally provides extensive coverage of the March for Life and related activities.

Prayer for the Helpless Unborn

Heavenly Father, in Your love for us, protect against the wickedness of the devil, those helpless little ones to whom You have given the gift of life.

Touch with pity the hearts of those women pregnant in our world today who are not thinking of motherhood.

Help them to see that the child they carry is made in Your image - as well as theirs - made for eternal life.

Dispel their fear and selfishness and give them true womanly hearts to love their babies and give them birth and all the needed care that a mother can give.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.

Our parish (Prince of Peace in Madison, IN) is sending 20 sophomores, juniors, and seniors to D.C. tomorrow. Add 4 adult chaperones and one awesome young priest who teaches religion at the Jr./Sr. High School to that number. We (Birthline) held a prayer service for them last Sunday afternoon with the K of C in full regalia. These kids are so enthused about going and I wish my kids were older so I could go :)

This sounds so wonderful. Thanks for sharing about the enthusiasm of your youth.

I'm sorry to say we won't be down in DC this year. Please, everyone take pictures from the top of the hill and then come back and post them on FR (and anywhere else) so the world can see that Americans do care about the unborn.

Bypass the media blackout!!!

[Salvation]

Good idea!

My wife and I attend this rally each year to recharge our spiritual batteries.It is a great ecumenical experience.You get an opportunity to spend the day with many active young people of different backgrouds.It is also a civics lesson on how the media slants the news.There is no greater cause than the protection of human life.

March for Life in Hilo, Hawaii
When: Mon,January 22,2007 4-5pm
Where: new courthouse (Kilauea & Aupuni)

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life

The MARCH FOR LIFE is the collective effort of grassroots prolife Americans to assure that our laws protect the right to life of each human being. An important step is adoption of a Mandatory HUMAN LIFE AMENDMENT to the Constitution of the United States. Such an amendment would require that individuals and society provide protection for the right to life of each human being in existence at fertilization. It would require that State laws conform to the Constitution and provide the same protection.

We stand in solidarity with the HONOLULU MARCH FOR LIFE at the State Capitol with speakers Bishop Silva, Lt. Governor Duke Aiona, as well as with the WASHINGTON D.C. MARCH FOR LIFE which will attract hundreds of thousands participants.

Sponsored by Hawaii Right To Life – Hilo

Signs will be provided
