Pavone. He may be of small physical stature, like David of the Old Testament story, but he has a heart which is huge and the courage of a spiritual warrior. Fr Frank Pavone has wielded his small smooth stones and sling mightily in the battle against the Goliath of the contemporary Culture of Death and that giant staggers as a result.

On the day when we gather in Washington DC, to mourn the Fourtieth anniversary of Roe and Doe, I can think of no place I would rather be than by the side of Fr Frank Pavone. I will be, beginning at the National Memorial for the preborn and their mothers and fathers. You need to be there as well. You can find out all about it and join thousands of others in prayer, repentance and action by visiting Priests for Life at this website. Below is a press Release with more details.

PRIESTS FOR LIFE PRESS RELEASE

The month of January marks 40 years since the Roe vs. Wade decision, and the national prayer service to mark the occasion has been announced. The National Memorial for the Pre-Born and Their Mothers and Fathers promises to be the largest interdenominational prayer service being held in conjunction with this commemoration.

A larger venue was chosen this year to accommodate what is anticipated will be the biggest turnout ever for the service.

"This prayer service always re-energize and re-focuses our pro-life movement," said Father Frank Pavone, president of the National Pro-Life Religious Council, which is organizing the event along with Priests for Life, the National Pro-Life Center on Capitol Hill, and Faith and Action. Fr. Pavone will deliver the sermon at the service.

The National Memorial will take place from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Friday, January 25, at Constitution Hall, 1776 D St., NW (18th and D St.). This is the same day as this year's March for Life, which will begin a few hours after the service.

"After 40 years of legal abortion, and the misery it has brought to untold millions of American women, men and families, we want to have one of the largest expressions ever of communal repentance and fervent intercession for an end to abortion in our nation," said Father Pavone. "Everyone in D.C. for the March should make an effort to attend this service."

A host committee of key religious leaders has been assembled, and more information about the service can be found at NationalPrayerService.com.

When our Church leaders speak about pro-life events, promote pro-life films, pro-life political candidates nearly as much as they speak about Social Justice, hearts will change at an increasing rate.

When our Church leaders speak from the pulpit about adoption as the alternative for IVF, hearts will change at an increasing rate.

When our Church leaders speak from the pulpit about Humane Vitae and the moral code is established by God and not left to each individual's interpretation, hearts will change at an increasing rate.

Is it odd that I feel my charity is better suited to Texas Right to Life or Rick Santorum's Patriot Voices organization than to my own diocese social service fund?

I pray that that we support our Church leaders. They/us must be strong for Christ.

Christ did not promise the road would be easy.

We must not only look toward the saints we must look to be saints. One saint I know, stands outside the largest abortion facility in North America in Houston, TX everyday; saving babies and probably souls. Please pray for her and those like her around this nation.

May God Bless all those that attend the March for Life in D.C. and across the nation.

Please check out 40 days for Life.

Please let your parish leaders know about 40 days for Life.
