Readings: Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborm Children
Today is the 41st anniversary of the Supreme Court decision of Roe vs. Wade. We pray this day particularly for the unborn and that our leaders will make decisions that support all human life. With 41 years of abortions being declared constitutional in our country, it can be easy to despair over this. It is easy to lose hope of every seeing an end to this and let anger towards those in favor of abortions to take the place of that hope. But our readings today remind us to have faith in God. Just as David had faith that God would help him win the battle; just as the man in the Gospel had faith that Jesus would make him whole again.
We won't win this battle with anger and despair. We will win with trust in God and showing the example of love to our neighbor. Let us continue to pray.
