From the Lorica of St. Patrick Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ in breadth, Christ in length, Christ in height, Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of

every man who speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me.

I would like to thank you all for your moment of

prayer for me and my family. They are deeply meaningful

to me and impacts so much upon the entire process of

saying "goodbye". Relying on faith shared with you gives

me deep comfort. Some of you thoughtfully sent a card of

sympathy reminding me of our shared hope in the promise

of Jesus. Thank you deeply.

Devotional for Day 30, March 10, 2016

by Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life Intention: That those tempted to abort may understand that their child is already present, and already a real person. Scripture: And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. —Luke 1:41-44 Reflection: Jesus not only loves unborn children — He was one himself! Think about this for a moment. We often hear people speak of a pregnant mother by saying, “She’s expecting a child.” Now if one is expecting a package, the package is not yet there. As reflected in our verse for today, however, this is not the case with the mother. Her gift is already there. The pregnant woman, a mother already, does not have a child “on the way,” but has a child, already present and in full possession of his or her human rights, starting with the right to life. Prayer: Jesus, open my eyes to your presence in the life of every child. Open my heart to joy in the birth of every child, a birth that reflects the joy of your own birth in Bethlehem. As you shared life in the womb of Mary, so now send your protection upon every child still in the womb, and grant to their mothers the strength and joy that comes from welcoming the gift of life. We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen

PLEASE PRAY FOR AN END TO ABORTION!
