40 Days

40 Days for Life update,
With just a few days left in the spring campaign, let us remember that when you get right down to it, abortion is a spiritual battle.
The idea of taking the life of an innocent human being under the guise of compassion, choice or "reproductive rights" could have only been devised by Satan himself.
We know of Christ’s love for women and their children. We also know that in the end, life wins.
Over these last few days, let us persevere -- and "put on the full armor of God," as Paul tells us -- and know that victory is assured!

Worcester 40 Days update:
Thursday, April 7 – What a great day to be outside, and parishioners from a number of parishes were there to enjoy the sunshine while they prayed. Prayer volunteers from Our Lady of Czestochowa, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel/St. Ann, and Blessed Sacrament were there along with parishioners from St. Michael’s in Mendon, St. Mary’s in Shrewsbury, and St. Mary’s in Uxbridge. As the group was praying the rosary just before noon, Eileen, a counselor at Problem Pregnancy, came out to ask that we pray for a woman who was there undergoing an ultrasound to check the viability of her baby. She already had an appointment at Planned Parenthood for an abortion. Because she did not drink enough water in preparation for her ultrasound, the baby’s image was not clear, although the heartbeat could be detected. She was invited back for a repeat ultrasound; however she left with the intention of keeping her appointment for the abortion. Please pray that she has a change of heart.
Fr. Joseph Mahoney, senior priest at St. Stephen’s, came by later with Dan Fullen, the “grandfather” of 40 Days for Life in Worcester. Dan’s son, Paul Fullen, and his wife Crystal, brought 40 Days for Life to Worcester in 2008, and they directed the first five campaigns. Fr. Ed Chalmers, pastor of St. Stephen’s, came to pray at the vigil in the afternoon, bringing the total number of St. Stephen’s vigilers to eight. Pauline Morris, Campaign Director, was there that day and brought her camera along.
