Amazing Grace

Note:  The hotel did have internet access for guests, but time was then the next impeded factor.  Glad to be back.


How graced we were to be among the 700,000 who marched for the lives of the 57,500.000+ who have been aborted since 1973 and for the 3,000 that will be aborted today.  Staggering numbers, yet to see these huge numbers of people from Middle School and up gave hope and affirmation again that "we shall overcome," as the song goes and as Cardinal Sean reiterated.  The faith and conviction of the marchers was evident as we walked from the Washington Monument to the Supreme Court where we could hardly move, packed so tightly as we were.  Some marchers traveled for 24 hours to be a part of the march.  There were contingents from Canada, Ireland  and almost every state in the Union.  Many student who were "on the fence" about pro-life made firm choices to favor LIFE.  Mass, prayer, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and the Sacrament of Reconciliation were woven into the three day event.  Discussions on the bus, informative videos helped solidify convictions.  Amazing grace was evident everywhere.  Thanks be to God that we have the right to express and live our faith so publicly and, we hope, so effectively.  The fight for life is not done but there is great hope.
