Today, I’m at the National March for Life. This is my 6th time here.
Honestly, that is too many!
Every year, I go on this journey hoping that it is the last time I will have to travel to DC to protest the infamous legalization of abortion in the United States.
Next year, I want to go to DC to celebrate the fall of Roe v Wade!
How likely is that?
Not very…
Unfortunately, it seems that we are still a ways off from the fall of Roe. But, that being said, we have made great strides in the last 6 years. Legally, socially and culturally, we are better off than where we were when I made my first steps down the National Mall towards the Supreme Court.
We are getting closer.
We are not getting closer because of the March for Life, per se. We are getting closer because of people like you who after the March, come home and take action.
Lives are saved because people like you are getting involved. Volunteering, praying, organizing, donating, conversing with friends and supporting the youth.
Today, there are many more young people here marching with me than there are ‘adults.’
The youth are the future.
No, in fact, the youth are the present hope of our movement!
The youth are the key to the end of abortion.
If you are a young person, it’s time to get involved!
If you are an ‘adult,’ it’s time to support the pro-life generation!

Holy Name Cathedral held our Prayer Hour for Life yesterday in support of you folks. Many from our Young Adult group are with you there in DC, including many of the young people with whom I pray at the abortion mill of Planned Parenthood at LaSalle & Division in downtown Chicago.
Keep up the fight!

Praying in solidarity with you all from IL!!!!
And so, you youth. . .are very much the hope of the future!!
I just have to add a little something to your comments! A very wonderful, and very holy priest always used to tell us (when were a young married couple). Keep praying, never stop praying ~ for who would have ever thought the Berlin Wall would come down! And then, suddenly ……..
Praying to end the holocaust of abortion, I believe, encompasses much more than “just” ending abortion. We all have to pray for the God to grant the grace that we can become, at last, that Culture of Life, as JP II called it.
I have pondered often why he used that terminology. Over many years have pondered it. As the parent of three handicapped children have pondered . . .what would a Culture of Life be? What did JP II mean?
Yes, we need to pray and fast and March on Washington. Continue to pray outside the abortion mills and keep current in knowledge of pending legislation. We need to grow beyond that to nurture “life”; all life.
In our personal lives getting involved with those around me who need nurturing. The aged, the sick, the handicapped. . .every time we bring our hearts, our youthful energy and positive help to any of these. . .we are building a Culture of Life!
God Bless all your efforts! Someday!
