We are one body and we do not stand alone!

This past Sunday and Monday I was blessed to attend the National March for Life in Washington, D.C. It was a busy two days but they were a very touching and memorable two days. I traveled with my brother seminarians early Sunday morning so we could make it to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception Basilica for the Vigil Mass for Life. Hundreds of Priests, Deacons, seminarians, dozens of Bishops and five Cardinals were all present at the mass along with hundreds of religious and laity. It was a beautiful mass.

The next day we attended the Youth Mass where about 20,000 youth gathered to pray for a greater respect for all human life. Once the youth mass was over we all marched to the Mall where we heard members of Congress and the Senate voice their views on Roe Vs. Wade and how it should be overturned.

This was an unforgettable two days and it was so inspiring! I will continue to pray for an end to abortions, for the government to abolish the death penalty, for inhumane practices to come to an end, and for all people to respect all forms of life from conception to natural death.
