FROM 40 Days for Life National Organization:

 

“We made it! Today is Day 40 … and it marks the final day of this 40 Days for Life campaign. As reports continue to pour in, we know one thing for sure — God can do a lot in 40 days!

 

Today there are babies alive who were scheduled to be aborted during this campaign. Instead of becoming abortion statistics, these children will have birthdays in June and July because their moms had a chance to turn around at the very last moment.

 

There are also women who are finding hope and healing after an abortion. There are abortion center workers who started this campaign by complaining about “those people” outside praying … before God went to work on their hearts and led them to quit their jobs.

 

God is always faithful and He wants to save our culture more than we do. The Gospel doesn’t tell us it will be easy, but it does say it’s worth it.

 

No harsh weather, discouragement or persecution can take away the joy of seeing a baby saved from abortion and a mom spared a lifetime of regret. Thank you for your prayers and sacrifices during these past 40 days!”

 

Current reports from this campaign show 528 lives saved from all 40 Days for Life campaigns that ran this fall.  In Madison, we know of 2 babies lives that were saved and 2 moms spared a lifetime of regret during this campaign.

 

Though we did “make it” through this 40 Days for Life campaign, our presence does not end today.  Starting tomorrow, Monday, Nov. 3rd – we switch over to our 365 for Life campaign.  Please prayerfully consider staying involved with us throughout the whole year!

Election Prayer for Life

By: Fr. Frank Pavone, Priests for Life

 

O God, we acknowledge You today as Lord,

Not only of individuals, but of nations and governments.

 

We thank You for the privilege

Of being able to organize ourselves politically

And of knowing that political loyalty

Does not have to mean disloyalty to You.

 

We thank You for Your law,

Which our Founding Fathers acknowledged

And recognized as higher than any human law.

We thank You for the opportunity that this election year

puts before us,

To exercise our solemn duty not only to vote,

But to influence countless others to vote,

And to vote correctly.

 

Lord, we pray that Your people may be awakened.

Let them realize that while politics is not their

salvation,

Their response to You requires that they be politically

active.

 

Awaken Your people to know that they are not called to be

a sect fleeing the world

But rather a community of faith renewing the world.

 

Awaken them that the same hands lifted up to You in prayer

Are the hands that pull the lever in the voting booth;

That the same eyes that read Your Word

Are the eyes that read the names on the ballot,

And that they do not cease to be Christians

When they enter the voting booth.

 

Awaken Your people to a commitment to justice,

To the sanctity of marriage and the family,

To the dignity of each individual human life,

And to the truth that human rights begin when Human Lives

Begin,

And not one moment later.

 

Lord, we rejoice today

That we are citizens of Your kingdom.

 

May that make us all the more committed

To being faithful citizens on earth.

 

We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

 

Amen.
