40 Days for Life – Feb. 22 – Apr. 1
Please join us in the Spring 40 Days for Life prayer vigil. Location of the vigil site will be announced in the next Knight Letter.
It is edifying to me as Culture of Life Director to see many of you Brother Knights that participate in each of these vigils. It is not easy, popular or cool to acknowledge publicly that we stand on the side of life. In fact, when many of us do stand up publicly for life, it is typical for us to be vilified by family, friends and strangers alike.
So, I ask you to pray and ask God for guidance on how you can participate in this Spring’s vigil. But most of all, as Christ himself said and Blessed John Paul II echoed, “Do not be afraid!”
