Every minute of every hour of every day – for 40 days – there is always someone, somewhere in the world, praying for an end to abortion.
Isn’t that a beautiful reality for battling our cynical culture?
There are 40 Days for Life campaigns currently under way in 24 countries ... and today we go on a world tour to just a few of them.
No matter where YOU are in the world, you don’t just have to read about the prayer — you can JOIN it. We still have the entire second half of the campaign to go, so please find your vigil and pray with us!
Ijebu Ode, Nigeria
Father Peace Ike leads the 40 Days for Life effort in Ijebu Owe.
From the start of the campaign, he said, “I asked the students and teachers of St. Joseph Nursery/Primary School to pray and fast for both the aborted children and those who committed the crime of abortion.”
When it comes to fasting, he said it is customary to fast from food. But he asked them to consider “fasting from doing bad things instead.”
On Nigerian Independence Day, Father Peace organized a pro-life retreat and seminar, where they again “prayed for the aborted babies and those responsible for abortion.”
