40 Days for Life Day 36

--------------------------------------------------
DAY 36 INTENTION
--------------------------------------------------
Pray that those who have forgotten their purpose may discover it in God and therefore have the courage to choose life.
--------------------------------------------------
SCRIPTURE
--------------------------------------------------
These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season, what you give them they gather in; you open your hand they are filled with good. You hide your face, they are troubled; you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. You send forth your Spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the earth.-- Psalm 104:27-30
--------------------------------------------------
REFLECTION
--------------------------------------------------
"I am a feather on the breath of God." As the quote above portrays, we are upheld by the power and purpose of God. Our very existence on earth, from our body's first breath to its last, when we leave it to return home, is our Father's choice and happens only byHis willing to do so. He who created the universe also created that which is "me." I do not "have" a soul - I AM a soul, as well as a body. My entire purpose in this life is to find my way back to my Creator.
--------------------------------------------------
PRAYER
--------------------------------------------------
Beloved Father, remind us today that there is no truth but you. Do not let us fall prey to the evil one's lie that we may choose death. Remind us right now that you, who created all life, are in control of all life, and let us know right now that you who created all life, are in control of all life, and let us choose life always. Father, please let us hear your voice more today than yesterday. Keep lighting the pathway home, for us and for all who participate in this 40 Days for Life campaign. Father, we're on our way. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Margaret, Claire, Patrick, and I just left the Louisville, Kentucky 40 Days for Life candlelight vigil which was attended by over 120 people. It was very encouraging to see so many faithful believers praying and sharing encouragement with one another on the very doorstep of a downtown abortion facility. When a 92-year-old Catholic nun -- who has been faithfully praying in front of that abortion center for years -- asked everyone to sing, the crowd began singing "Amazing Grace" and the music filled the whole block. It was heavenly! With the momentum continuing to build in cities and towns across America, I can't wait to see what God has in store for the last few days of this 40 Days for Life -- and beyond!

Yours for Life,
