As you may know, a series of undercover videos, produced by the Center for Medical Progress, has revealed Planned Parenthood's involvement in the selling of aborted baby body parts. This has called new attention to the issue of abortion which has always been a primary prayer and action items for Christians who take seriously the fifth commandment "Thou shalt not kill" and the words of Christ, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
The Confraternity of Penitents has consistently supported prolife efforts to end abortion while providing support to mothers involved in pregnancy crisis. This two pronged effort needs to be supported with prayer.
Prayers for Life, established in 1976 to pray for an end to abortion, was absorbed by the Confraternity of Penitents several years ago and its prayer cards and prayer packet available through the CFP Holy Angels Gift Shop. These, as well as prolife bumper stickers, books for pregnant moms in crisis, prolife jewelry and a prolife rosary, Precious Feet pins, medals, and other items can all be seen on the prolife link at the CFP Holy Angels Gift Shop.
We may feel powerless in the face of the evil of abortion and the monolithic structure supporting it worldwide, which must surely be under girded by spiritual powers of evil which seek always to destroy both life and soul. But in the midst of this spiritual battle, we must remember that God is more powerful than all worldly and demonic power combined. If you are not yet praying every day for the legal protection of all human life and support for those in human crisis situations, there is no better time to begin than now. The prolife prayer cards offered by the CFP Holy Angels Gift Shop come with bulk options. Buy in bulk and distribute these at your church, prayer group, and family gathering. Human beings may work and are working to protect the lives of all human beings, born and unborn, but the forces against them are powerful. The fight for life is a spiritual battle with prayer as the primary weapon. Begin praying today.
And may God bless you!
