SCRIPTURE
--------------------------------------------------
On the first day of the week, very early in themorning, the women took the spices they hadprepared and went to the tomb. They found thestone rolled away from the tomb, but when theyentered, they did not find the body of the LordJesus. "Why do you look for the living among thedead? He is not here; he has risen!"-- Luke 24:1-5

REFLECTION
--------------------------------------------------
This meditation, based on a sermon I once heard,is adapted for pro-life concerns.
It's Friday. Jesus is on the cross.
He has been killed by his enemies;
he is off the scene.
But that's because it's Friday.
Sunday's comin'!
It's Friday.
Abortionists continue their work 3,300 times a day,
tearing off the arms and legs of little babies
and crushing their heads.
But that's because it's Friday.
Sunday's comin'!
It's Friday.
Pro-abortion groups receive blood money
from billionaires who are as deceived as they are.
But that's because it's Friday.
Sunday's comin'!
It's Friday.
Liars attempt to speak for all women and hide the pain of abortion,
and ignore the evidence of how it harms women,
and call abortion a blessing.
But that's because it's Friday.
Sunday's comin'!
It's Friday.
People of hardened hearts, guard the clinics
and usher desperate women in to have their abortions,
while keeping them from the pro-life people
who want to give them hope.
But that's because it's Friday.
Sunday's comin'!
Hope does not mean that we ignore or minimize the evils around us. It means, rather, that we see the whole picture, which is that evil is conquered because of what happened one Sunday morning. We are called to proclaim, celebrate, and serve that victory, waiting in joyful hope for Christ's return and the full flowering of the Culture of Life!Indeed, Sunday's comin'!

PRAYER
--------------------------------------------------
Lord, fill your people with new hope. Make us vessels of hope to all around us, especially to those who minister in the pro-life movement, that as we engage in the difficult work ahead, we may experience the peace and joy that come only from you and that nobody can take away from us. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
--------------------------------------------------
Today let's overcome ambivalence with prayer and
be open to the calling of the Holy Spirit!
Yours for Life,
