The start of our bi-annual prayer for the end of abortion is fast approaching.
40 Days for Life will begin on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, that is Ash Wednesday, and run through to Sunday, April 13 for a total of 40 consecutive days of pro-life advocacy.
HELPING TO END THE INJUSTICE OF ABORTION
During these forty days we will work to end the injustice of abortion through three proven and effective methods: 1. Prayer and fasting; 2. Constant vigil; and 3. Community Outreach.
The vigil will consist of a visible, public presence near an abortion business in our community. To this end, we will continue our long-standing tradition of holding the vigil at the corner of Berri and St. Catherine Streets. Not only is this location close to an abortion facility, but it is also highly visible.
It is a peaceful and educational presence. Those who are called to stand witness during this 12-hour-a-day presence send a powerful message to the community about the tragic reality of abortion in their neighbourhood.
It also serves as a call to repentance for those who work in the abortion centre and those who support the business.
THE GREATEST HUMAN EVIL
The number of abortions performed each year is staggering and thus it deserves to be called the greatest human evil – the deliberate killing of an innocent human being. In Canada alone, the number is approximately 100,000 per year. The full numbers are unknown because government agencies either hide the numbers or do not rigorously collect them from the private facilities and public institutions.
CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS
We need your help. We need prayer volunteers to be present during the vigil portion of the 40-Day Challenge, especially on weekdays and on Sundays. Consider giving one hour of your time each week between the hours of 9:00 am and 7:00 pm. This can be a valid Lenten practice.
To sign up, call the office at (514) 344-2686, or Brian at (438) 930-8643.
