National Night of Prayer for Life, this Friday, Dec. 8

As we know, this Friday, December 8, is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and a holy day of obligation.

This Friday is also the 17th annual National Night of Prayer for Life. Various parishes in our Archdiocese and around the USA are taking part.

After the last Mass of the evening on December 8 and until early in the morning of December 9, which as you know is the Feast of San Juan Diego and the day of Our Lady of Guadalupe's first appearance to him, on the hill of Tepeyac, there is Adoration of the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar, as well as recitation of the Holy Rosary.

This event has a National Hour of Unity from 12 midnight to 1 a.m. ET, December 9.

The intentions of this prayer observance are atonement for all the babies aborted in this country and for an end to abortion.

Maybe you are already involved in your parish with planning this great pro-life prayer night. If not, you can phone your parish to see if they are taking part; and if they are not doing so, then you can phone your local pro-lifers to find a parish that is involved.
