Rosaries for Life

 Would you spend some time with the little babies in your own neighborhood before they die? Maybe you’ll even be able directly to save lives; maybe not. What’s even more important: you’ll be there. In a sense, it may be a way to redeem the abandonment of Jesus by His Apostles when they refused to be with Him at His death. Too often we also refuse to be with Jesus for fear of the Cross, do we not?

These little ones dying today are intricately connected with the sufferings and death of Our Savior. There is a bond here that must not be overlooked. All the political action, educating, donation of funds, demonstrations, alternative work, important and necessary as these are, do not make up for an absence at the death scene. Thus, let me beg you to view your presence at the killing center in your area as the place where God wants you to be. Grab your Rosary, pick up your Bible, bring your devotionals, and go out to Calvary not far from you - where Christ is being crucified today in your midst.

...we may not be able to save their lives, but can we not plead on their behalf? And should they die as usually happens (God forgive us!), let us lift up our hearts to God Almighty on their behalf...it will be the only human love they will know on this earth...
