So, I got back from DC at three this morning. It was so incredible! I went to the mass at the Cathedral on Sunday which was amazing! They had shrines done in entirely in mosaics. My favorite was a room with deep blue mosaic walls and a poll with a statue of Mary and Jesus. The next day, we went to the youth rally and mass. The amount of people there was breathtaking! The actual march was amazing too. Being able to be part of such a wonderful cause is so wonderful!
If your local newspapers are anything like mine, you probably didn’t see more than two inches of copy devoted to the annual March for Life and the thousands of people who walked in the rain to stand up for the unborn….
Here’s a report about this years March for Life that you won’t see in the main stream media.
Even though I couldn’t come, I was with you in spirit.
We are the prolife generation.
It was so awesome. I want to volunteer, participate, and take action in things more often! Not too mention, I have never seen so many people in one spot, and it’s even cooler knowing that they were there fighting for something real and standing up for something they believe in, and giving their voice to the voiceless.
Our son and I are now home from today’s March for Life. As with the last two years, it was a joy-filled, sorrowful day. Mostly, as with the last two years, I was struck by the huge numbers of children, teens, and college students in attendance. And our son ate up the Youth Mass and Youth Rally at the Verizon Center, energized by the homily from Fr. Mark Ivany and sustained by the Eucharist….
