Brother Knights,
Spring, the season that represents life is upon us once again. So please take a moment to look around you and you will undoubtedly see your Mothers your Fathers, your Brothers and your Sisters. Their lives have bloomed because their Mother did not choose to cut their life short. Each of us should take some time and devote our efforts to saving a life.
Please use the month of March to stand up for life. Take a few minutes to call a friend and pass the word about springtime and the sanctity of life.
I am asking that each of my Brother Knights join with me in prayer on March 7, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. during the Sacramento 40 Days for Life at 1442 Ethan Way and Hallmark Drive. Let us spend one hour in prayer together. Praying outside an abortion facility is one of the most important pro-life activities we can do.
40 Days for Life continues the prayerful tradition started in 2007, mobilizing people of faith and conscience now in hundreds of cities across the United States, Canada and the world. On March 5, the prayer campaign will begin in Sacramento and cities everywhere. I sincerely thank you for standing with us for these babies who are created in God’s image and worthy of our time!
The Knights of Columbus will unite with others across America and around the world for a massive, coordinated, pro-life mobilization. This campaign is an effort to bring together people of all faiths to pray for an end to the loss of pre-born human life and for the healing of those affected by abortion. We are praying that, with God’s help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in Sacramento — and throughout the world.
While all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible component is the peaceful prayer vigil outside the abortion facility on Ethan Way. The vigil is peaceful. Participants agree to a Code of Conduct with a pledge that they will conduct themselves in a Christ-like manner. You can help make a life-saving impact by signing up for at least one one-hour block of time. Everyone is welcome!
If you are unable to attend, please take some time to write to your Congressional elected representatives. I urge you to support legislation to take us one small step toward a society that promotes life and not death for unborn children and their mothers. The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (H.R. 7) deserves your support, so please write your letter today.
Choose Life !
