Every now and then, some abortion-related issue hits the headlines of the mass media, attracting comments from those who believe in the myth of over population which, as I showed in a previous post, is in fact contradicted by actual population figures from the CIA’s World Factbook. Continue reading
Preparing for Divine Mercy Sunday
This coming Sunday, 7th April 2013 is Divine Mercy Sunday, which Blessed John Paul II established in 2000 on the First Sunday after Easter, thus fulfilling the instruction given by our Lord Himself to St Faustina that this Feast be celebrated solemnly and that the image of the Divine Mercy be “ceremoniously blessed on this feast” and “publicly, that is, liturgically celebrated”.

We pray that the world would see the value of all human life not only what is deemed ‘acceptable’ and ‘normal’.
‘And whoever welcomes one child like this in My name welcomes Me.’ (Matthew 18:5)
“Carrying a disabled child to term can be a terrifying journey full of unknowns.” Last year Lacey Buchanan, a courageous mother, posted a video about her terrible pregnancy experience. Continue reading
Day 38: We pray for strong marriages, open to the gift of new life
“This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh. And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it.” (Genesis 2:23-24 ; 1:28) Continue reading
Day 37: That pregnant mothers will find strength, solace and support in Mary, the mother of Jesus
Mary said, ‘Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.’ (Luke 1:38)
Day 36: We pray that God will inspire Christian artists to spread the Gospel of Life in their own particular way
Today we pray that God will inspire Christian artists to spread the Gospel of Life in their own particular way.
Down the centuries, Christian artwork has been a powerful tool for evangelisation, especially at a time when the written Word of God was not readily available as it is today: most people either could not afford to have a copy of the Bible, or simply could not read. Images then were “the Gospel of the poor” as some say.
Intention
That God inspires the imagination of Christians to create art works, plays, poems, sculptures, films, TV dramas and every kind of art there could possibly be, to open the eyes of the blind and speak to hearts that have failed to acknowledge the dignity and value of the unborn child.
Scripture
’”Do you see Son of Man?” He then took me and brought me back to the bank of the river. I saw an enormous number of trees on each bank of the river. He said… “This water flows east down to the Arabah and to the sea; and flowing into the sea it makes its waters wholesome. Wherever the river flows, all living creatures teeming in it will live…. Along the river, on either bank, will grow every kind of fruit tree with leaves that never wither and fruit that never fails; they will bear new fruit every month, because this water comes from the sanctuary. And their fruit will be good to eat and the leaves medicinal”’. (Ezekiel 47: 6-9, 12) Continue reading

We pray for pregnant women who find themselves alone, unsupported and afraid. That they find a community of love where they and the life that they are carrying are both greeted with warmth and kindness.
