Headlining Marches

Media coverage of yesterday's Marches of Defiance globally and nationally dominated the newspapers and TV news programs and, no doubt, will be discussed ad nauseam the days to come. On Friday, the 27th, the 43rd March for Life will take place in Washington DC to promote respect for life, all human life, from natural conception to natural death, in response to the Supreme Court Decision in the Roe vs Wade case on January 22, 1973.  Will this march make headlines?  Judging from the past several years, it will barely be acknowledged, and if so, in largely diminished estimates.
It's not "progressive," not chic...not studded with Hollywood celebrities. No just thousands of people of all ages, many of whom in their teens and twenties, who believe in the sanctity of LIFE.
In today's Gospel, we read about the reaction of Jesus to the arrest of John the Baptist. "From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.'" (Mat 4:17) He called Simon and Andrew, James and John  to leave their nets and follow him,  He taught in synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people." (Mt 4:23).  Jesus has passed this mission on to us. May we not renege but be bold in our living out.  proclaiming and headlining the truth, and thus bring healing to our fractured world.
