Casting Out Demons

Much of the ministry of Jesus involved casting out demons, and for it, he was criticized for it. (See Luke 11: 15-26).  He stood firm in his mission to free people from evil and in his footsteps today stand others dedicated to eradicating the demons that plague us.
Once such group is the Pregnancy Care Center with locations in Haverhill, and Lawrence which is celebrating 30 years of assisting parents dealing with "unplanned pregnancies" whose only option in their minds is abortion.   Wrong.  With gentle, loving counseling and much prayer with these confused mothers and fathers, 4,600 lives have been saved in these 30 years.  Last night hundreds of people gathered for the annual fund raising dinner and report of progress.  Shawn Carney, the youthful 33 year old founder of 40 Days for Life, a now global organization in 30 nations, 579 cities with 650,000 volunteers, was the speaker who was as impressive with his humility humor, faith and sincerity as these astounding statistics.  As a result of the prayerful vigils at abortion clinics, half of them have closed in the last few years.  The rosary continues to be a powerful, effective prayer, along with fasting and selfless sacrificing.  The demons are fleeing as they did at the command of Jesus. We can all join in this movement at home, if we can't join the groups that gather near the clinics.  Let us pray for the mothers and fathers who are in process of making a decision to abort or not to abort; for the helpless unborn; for the doctors who perform the abortions, and for those who stand for "choice."   Let us pray that the demons who seek to destroy life might be cast into hell for good.
God bless you.
