or do what you can. Last year great inroads in the fight against the culture of death were made. This is supernatural warfare here! Much is at stake in this election year.

This prayer and sacrifice effort begins on September 24th. Please be a part.

Ave Maria!

i mistakenly thought only liberals made fun of people’s religious beliefs. it was posted on the RELIGION forum of FR. i expected better from you, a long time freeper, i guess.

I’m in.

I’m Praying for a complete healing of this cancer. I pray that it will be cut out, and we will be completely healed.

I think you and Magdalen are talking about 2 different movements. But perhaps 40 Days for Life should have its own thread? If it doesn't already, that is.

I really wanted to join up this year, but I'm 7 mos. pregnant (so much for fasting) and my back keeps going out once a week, keeping me pretty much laid up at home. Oh well, time to pray!

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

[Salvation]

I came to that conclusion too. If no one posts the 40 Days for Life tomorrow, I will.

Don’t worry — you can always sit down at home and pray. That’s what I did last year when my hip hurt so badly and this last Lent when I was in the hospital getting a new artificial hip.

I’m in. I recently started praying a separate rosary against abortion, infanticide, child abuse and neglect. What a coincidence.

I’m absolutely overjoyed to hear that abortion is declining.

I am not Catholic. I am a born again believer in Jesus Christ. He is my only hope of eternal salvation. There is only one way to The Father and that is through The Son. I am and will be setting apart certain days to fast and pray. We must ask God to show us any sin we may be committing knowingly or unknowingly and set our hearts to repent. I am praying every day that God through His mercy and power will deliver us from this great evil which is Obama. Lord have mercy on us in Jesus Holy Name. As horrifically terrible as abortion is, as it murder of the most helpless and innocent of us, Obama represents vast and great evil on every moral front. He is an anti-Christ./p>

Bellflower, Catholics are also born-again believers in Jesus Christ, and we too place all our hope in Him alone for our eternal salvation - there is NO other way to the Father! Thanks for bringing attention to the matters upon which Catholics and evangelicals can agree, rather than emphasizing our points of disagreement.

Senator Obama is probably the most pro-death presidential candidate this country has ever known. On Sunday afternoon, one of our deacons encouraged us to focus our 40 Days for Life prayer intentions on the election of a pro-life president, and I think that’s quite appropriate given the differences between the two major party candidates. McCain certainly isn’t perfect (especially given the lack of clarity on his views on ESCR), but the alternative is so much worse. I could think of worse things to do than lift this election in prayer while remembering the souls of the innocent who die as a result of abortion and ESCR.
