Don't forget...

who it is that we serve. Our God is a mighty God and His faithfulness is real. With the opening of the Pl*nned P*renthood clinic in Aurora tomorrow morning, it would appear to many that the game is over.
Take comfort in God's living word, found in Sacred Scripture:

"I urge you now to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. For last night there stood by me an angel of God to whom I belong and whom I worship, and he said, 'Do not be afraid...indeed, God has granted safety to all those who are sailing with you. So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told." Acts 27: 22-25

Continue to keep our nation and the city of Aurora, Illinois in particular, in your prayers. Below is a beautiful Litany in Response to Abortion by Fr. Frank Pavone from Priests for Life.

There is more work to be done because the story's not over yet, not for those who believe.
