Students from Central Catholic will be busing with hundreds of other students from the Archdiocese of Boston (10 buses) on Sunday to attend the 39th annual March for Life to commemorate the Roe-vs--Wade decision in 1973 There will be speeches on the Mall on Monday and the actual March to the Supreme Court. The media have stopped covering the march for the most part, and the numbers they do report are less than the actual number of people attending. Nonetheless, we hope that the presence of thousands of young people might raise awareness of the sanctity of all life and help turn the country back to a healthy respect for life. It is estimated that 54 million abortions have taken place in these 39 years...more than all the deaths in Vietnam, and certainly in Iraq and Afghanistan. When life is trivialized, as has happened, it seems to me, with this decision, one moral brick after another has toppled from the structure erected on Judao-Christian principles. I was in DC for one of the first rallies for life, and heard the admonition to keep coming and eventually there will be a change. Prayer, education, and bold incursions into what has become a way of life are needed to bring this about.
Let us keep in mind that respect for life includes all phases of life, all situations in which life is degraded. May God help us to find a way to bring the truth to light.

I will not be able to offer a slice of bread on Monday or Tuesday. Back on the cutting board for Wednesday. Please pray for us. Thank you.
