Respect Life Week
— Posted by Annie (October 2, 2006 at 12:32 pm)
Yesterday was Respect Life Sunday, and today, as John mentioned, is Pro-Life Memorial Day. But I learned from an insert in my bulletin yesterday that this whole week (actually 10 days) from October 1-10 is the 14th Annual International Week of Prayer and Fasting – For the Conversion of Nations, and an End to Abortion and to Build a Culture of life. Some suggestions I got from the bulletin include:
- Fasting
- Daily Masses
- Holy Hours
- Rosaries
- Divine Mercy Chaplet
I realize most of these suggestions are explicitly Catholic, so if you are not Catholic, you are more than welcome to do any of the above, but also feel free to come up with your own way of participating. All prayers are needed!
I’m going to pray the rosary with the above intention in mind and attending a pro-life mass at our parish next Monday. I encourage you to participate, joining your prayers and fasting with the thousands of people all over the world. Grace will abound.

St. Paul of the Cross will be having a pro-life Holy Hour at their perpetual adoration chapel on Tuesday, October 17th, between 4:00pm and 5:00pm.
The chapel is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so if you can’t make it the 17th, drop in anytime…
We will be praying a rosary for life, the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Litany of the Unborn from the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants.
Maybe I’ll see you there…
