“We ought to speak, shout out against injustices, with confidence and without fear. We proclaim the principles of the Church, the reign of love, without forgetting that it is also a reign of justice.” — Blessed Miguel Pro

It helps, now and then, to step back and take a long view.

The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is even beyond our vision.

We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent
enterprise that is God’s work. Nothing we do is complete, which is a way of
saying that the Kingdom always lies beyond us.

No statement says all that could be said.

No prayer fully expresses our faith.

No confession brings perfection.

No pastoral visit brings wholeness.

No program accomplishes the Church’s mission.

No set of goals and objectives includes everything.

This is what we are about.

We plant the seeds that one day will grow.

We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise.

We lay foundations that will need further development.

We provide yeast that produces far beyond our capabilities.

We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that.

This enables us to do something, and to do it very well.

It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an
opportunity for the Lord’s grace to enter and do the rest.

We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master
builder and the worker.

We are workers, not master builders; ministers, not messiahs.

We are prophets of a future not our own.

Bishop Ken Untener of Saginaw

Just a few hours left to fill for the week!  Please sign up to stand for life!

This past week while I was praying on the sidewalk outside of Planned Parenthood, the woman who I was praying with told me this story:  Last year during our fall 40 Days for Life campaign while she was praying for an end to abortion and wondering if her time was being well spent, a young mother pulled up her car and told her that she had been contemplating abortion for her baby however had chosen life because someone praying on the sidewalk gave her a baby blanket.  The baby blanket helped her choose life for her baby!

Psalm 127:3-5 “Children too are a gift from the Lord, the fruit of the womb, a reward.  Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children born in one’s youth.  Blessed are they whose quivers are full.  They will never be shamed contending with foes at the gate.”

Mother and baby saved from the death grip of abortion TODAY!

One of our sidewalk counselors out this morning said he was able to direct a young mother and her friend over to the Women’s Care Center instead of them go into Planned Parenthood. On the way out of the Women’s Care Center, the young mother told our sidewalk counselor that she was keeping her baby and that before being directed to the Women’s Care Center she was planning on having an abortion. Praise God that this young mother chose life for her and her baby! Praise God for working through our sidewalk counselors!

As you may know, the Spring 40 Days for Life campaign is happening now in many cities throughout the world.  Even though we are not holding an official “40 Days for Life” campaign, our prayers for an end to abortion are still joined with theirs.  Many of the locations holding a 40 Days for Life spring campaign do not have a year-round presence outside of the abortion facilities like we do.  We are able to do this because of your commitment to witnessing for the Gospel of Life.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.  For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who observes his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.  But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer that forgets but a doer that acts, he shall be blessed in his doing.”

– James 1:22-25

Norma McCorvey was the “Roe” in Roe v. Wade.  She never did have an abortion.  Like so many in the Pro-Life movement, Norma had a conversion and became a great supporter of LIFE.  Norma died yesterday at the age of 69.  May she, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
