From February 25 - April 5, 2009, St. Louis will join in with many other communities across the country participating in the 40 Days for Life pro-life effort, involving prayer, fasting, vigils, and community outreach. If you visit the 40 Days for Life St. Louis website, you can subscribe to their latest news updates, find out how to get involved, and contact the directors of the St. Louis group.
I will be helping in what small ways I can (mostly through prayer!), and I hope that we can strengthen our resolve to pray for a change in the minds and hearts of those who believe abortion to be a societal good, and morally neutral issue.
Please pray tonight and tomorrow morning for all those who have made the journey to Washington, D.C. and will be standing in the ~35°F weather. (I'm not going this year, but I will probably be going next year, since I don't think government-supported abortion will be ended within the next four years—but I still hope and pray that this will be so!).
