Join us in the Walk for Life with
the International Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima - a merciful
mother who chose life and for those who have suffered due to an
abortion.
Dear Friend,
Did you know that abortion is
included as one of the scourges that the Blessed Mother warned about
during one of her apparitions at Fatima?
January 22 marks the 51st
anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s infamous Roe v. Wade decision; a
mother’s “right” to have her preborn baby, living in her womb,
terminated – at any time, for any reason, even through the ninth month
of gestation.
The Supreme Court overturned Roe v.
Wade on June 24, 2022. However, the right to take the life of a
preborn child is still upheld by many states.
As Catholics, we have to help both
women and men, who have been involved in an abortion. Currently, we
live in such a society where awareness of sin is suppressed and the
delineation of right and wrong is blurred. It is an objective truth
that the taking of an innocent life in the womb is a sinful act. The
sin of abortion has consequences on the psychological and emotional
health of a woman who has undergone this procedure. Sometimes, that
sin scars a person’s soul for a lifetime. Assistance and post abortion
healing is available in every diocese.
One of the most important requests
that Our Blessed Mother made at Fatima was for reparation for sins
committed in the world. Reparation is defined as making amends for a
wrong that has been done. As we approach this anniversary of Roe v.
Wade I would like to invite you to join together with the tens of
thousands of rosary warriors of Operation Storm Heaven, to make public
as well as private acts of reparation to Our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Private ways can be attending Mass,
praying an extra rosary, doing extra penance or anything that you feel
inspired to do. In a public way you can give witness by praying
outside an abortion clinic, volunteering to counsel wayward souls or
participate in a local pro-life manifestation marking Roe v.
Wade.
In the Diocese of San Diego, the
Walk for Life is this Saturday, January 13, from 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM,
at Waterfront Park. For those of you living in southern California,
please join us in the Walk. Catholic Action’s beautifully
sculptured replica of the International Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of
Fatima will be processed throughout the prayerful Walk, a powerful
sign to those who stand for life, as well as a merciful mother to
those who have suffered due to an abortion.
If you cannot join us, please
prayerfully consider an act of reparation for the 63,000,000+
abortions performed in our country since 1973.
Suggestions:
~ Participate in a Walk for Life in
your diocese.
~ Offer an hour of adoration for an
end to all abortion (both surgical and chemical).
~ Receive Holy Communion in
reparation for the sin of abortion.
~ Pray for the conversion of
government leaders who promote abortion legislation.
~ Volunteer at a Pro-Life - Women’s
Pregnancy Center or a Rachal’s Vineyard Retreat (healing for women who
have undergone an abortion).
We look forward to meeting everyone
on Saturday, January 13, at the Walk for Life.
May God grant everyone the wisdom
and courage to defend the lives of the unborn.
Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Thomas McKenna
Founder and President
