That doesn’t even make sense. If the “Eucharist” is the principal source of the grace of Jesus needed to end abortion, why hasn’t He ended it by now?

Also, of the small majority of democrat Catholics that keep proabort politicians in office, I’d bet most DO regularly attend mass and receive the Eucharist. So, why isn’t it working grace on them???

Until there is a heart change there won’t be a voting change. This goes for all self declared Christians.

No, that is not what is meant by Fr. John A. Hardon.

What is meant is that [Catholic] souls need to bring themselves forward to the Blessed Sacrament and pray, and pray, and pray, for the end of abortion.

There are places called Eucharistic adoration chapels for this type of prayer. They are located throughout the United States. The first one in the Chicagoland area, for instance, was started by my brother-in-law's spiritual advisor, Fr. Fanelli, many years ago, and now I believe there are around two hundred of said chapels in the area.

The other way is to come to Mass early or late and sit before the Blessed Sacrament and pray for this precise reason of ending abortion.

Also if one indeed believes the Eucharist is the Body of Christ, then they would naturally wish to partake in the reception of Same, much more than weekly.

So, Father John A. Hardon [who has been "copied" by Mother Teresa (and others)] is correct; it is my opinion too. The frequent reception of the Eucharist, the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and the begging of Christ to end abortion at same, would be the success in ending this heinous act toward the child [and his mother].

BUT, certainly not enough Catholics partake. When I am at the chapel, there are usually none to seven or eight others along with me. Going to Mass for an hour on Sunday is not enough to end abortion, especially if that person does not even realize what the heck is going on there in the first place.
