Pro-Life Proposal

[Swoosh]

Hello all,

I was watching EWTN over at my girlfriends house for a bit (since I dont get it at home) and heard a commercial advertising for saying the Rosary for the pro-life movement, especially for a specific Supreme Court ruling (please fill me in on the details). (not sure when this was being done, but it sounded like a good idea)

Anyways, on to my suggestion. In doing our part in prayer, I suggest that we here at CF say the Rosary daily, as well as fast during the day (that or abstain from meat) for a week.

Would anyone else be interested in doing this? Just an idea to throw around, I know Ill definately say the Rosary daily and will probably abstain from meat for a week.

God bless,

Oops, I almost forgot this prayer I found over at EWTN.com:

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.

I'm hypoglycemic so I can't fast for a full day, but I'll abstain from meat for a week. Who's game?

Thanks for the beautiful prayer, Swoosh. I'm in for the rosary and fasting. I'm going to the March for Life in DC on Thursday too, and taking my kids. It's always the most incredible experience, a river of people, praying for the babies.

For anyone who is interested, I think we should start on Sunday the 25th (since its a tad late for this week) and go until next Saturday the 31st. Fasting would be a bit hard for me too, as Ive never done it for that long, but meat I could do.

God bless,

Edit: dates were wrong

Sunday the 24th sounds good. Couldn't have fasted last week. Last Saturday was my enormous (in number, not size!) family's annual Pasta Party. Together, we make all the cavatelli pasta, spaghetti, sauce, sausage and meatballs from scratch, cook it, and eat it all up! I love being an Italian Catholic! Life is good.
