Resources for the Day of Prayer for Unborn Life

 


In addition to the information from the last post regarding the Day of Prayer and Penance for Legal Protection of the Unborn coming up this Saturday, January 22nd, the Archdiocese's pro-life office has provided a great summary of local pro-life activities in greater Cincinnati that you can participate in this week, including a Rosary rally downtown; prayer outside of Cincinnati's Planned Parenthood facility in Mt. Auburn (Cincinnati) with Mass and adoration at a church nearby; and other activities. 

For those who don't want to travel that far, we will also have a Mass for life at St. Peter at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday.

The March for Life itself in Washington, D.C., is a prayerful witness of hundreds of thousands praying and marching in the nation's capital from the Washington monument to the U.S. Supreme Court.  That occurs Friday, January 21st from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. (the vigil day of the Roe v. Wade anniversary).  You can watch that live on ETWN, on cable or via their television website. 

You can also find out more at the website of the March for Life organization.

Finally, if you can't leave your home, please pray a Rosary asking Our Lady to intercede for the protection of the unborn and the softening of hearts of all those promoting the evil of abortion.

New priests' ordination video

The Archdiocese has recently published a very good 3-minute video of the ordination of three new priests for service to the Archdiocese. You will hear snippets from Archbishop's Schnurr homily and see a few scenes from that ordination Mass.  There are many powerful symbols in that ordination ceremony, including the men about to be ordained priests lying prostrate (on the ground, face down) before the altar, symbolizing that they are dying to themselves as they become "another Christ." In the photo above, after the bishop consecrates the men with prayer and laying on of hands, all of the other priests concelebrating the Mass also lay hands on them, showing that they now share in the one priesthood of Jesus Christ, the great High Priest. You may recognize Fr. Christopher Komoroski.  He was at our South Clermont parishes several weeks when he was still a deacon, to practice his preaching. I had the privilege of "vesting" Fr. Andrew Reckers (helping him put on his
