Week three
Week three
As coordinator for the Ottawa 40 Days for Life campaign, I try to pray at the vigil site as often as my time allows. Things have begun on a positive note. Although there are always those who react negatively to our pro-life message, to pray for an end to abortion, everyone I’ve encountered at the site is telling me of the thumbs-up their seeing and the positive car horn toots.
LifeSiteNews published a video of an in-utero baby girl reacting to her father’s voice by smiling. In case you haven’t seen it, here’s the link,
