LIFE CHAIN SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2005 is a time for serious self-analysis, repentance, and intercession.
For all who are mindful that LIFE CHAIN is a “church oriented and pastor focused” ministry, the key to a successful Chain is to persuade local pastors to educate their congregations about abortion and to lead their church families to the sidewalk where their LIFE CHAIN is to be held.
Can the unborn look for your Church to participate?
In 2004, over 1,000 LIFE CHAINS were held in the U.S. and Canada, and over 1,000 are hoped for in 2005. National Life Chain Sunday 2005 will be held on October 2, Lord willing, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM in each time zone. Over 100 people participated in Mifflin-Juniata’s Life Chain in front of the Old Court House on the Square in Lewistown. This year it would be nice to have 200 or more.
Annually, on the first Sunday in October, LIFE CHAIN invites the churches in each city and town across North America to stand on a designated local sidewalk and pray for one hour, while holding one of the following approved pro-life sign messages. Again, Mifflin-Juniata’s Life Chain will be in front of the Old Court House on the Square in Lewistown.
Accordingly, LIFE CHAIN is not a demonstration intended chiefly for the general public. Instead, its first goal is to minister to its own participants—to those who hold the pro-life messages and declare abortion a grave evil that defames the name and righteousness of God (Leviticus 18:21). Indeed we who call Christ our Savior have failed to intervene as we should have during the past three decades, while over 40 million boys and girls in America alone have been killed through surgical abortion and with additional millions dying from chemical contraceptives and the once prevalent IUD.
With Jesus’ Blessing,

Thanks for the post, I'll join my prayers to those said on Oct. 2nd.
To see into the hidden womb! ... But according to Hatellary Rodhamster, Barbara Catbox Droppings, and the entire Democrat Party, 'it's only alive if the mother wants "it", don'tchaknow.' I wonder what that is sucking 'its' thumb and touching 'its' head? Reckon the smartest woman in the lieberal world would answer that for us peons?
It is also the 21st anniversary of the birth of my cousin Charles. He died as an infant a month later on November 2nd, the Feast of All Souls. I vaguely remember his baptism (I was only 4 at the time), so he is in heaven now with God his Creator.
I thought September 29 was the Feast of Saints, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels.
Unbelievable, isn't it? There are some among US here on FR who say a "fetus isn't a life."
And, defying their twisted logic, every one of them lived through that 'age' in their individual lifetime, to become ... death-embracers for convenience and lust. In the lieberal mind, liberty trumps life ebery time it's tested.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Feast of Guardian Angels
Pope John XXIII - Meditation for the Feast of the Guardian Angels
 |

Perhaps no aspect of Catholic piety is as comforting to parents as the belief that an angel protects their little ones from dangers real and imagined. Yet guardian angels are not just for children. Their role is to represent individuals before God, to watch over them always, to aid their prayer and to present their souls to God at death.
The concept of an angel assigned to guide and nurture each human being is a development of Catholic doctrine and piety based on Scripture but not directly drawn from it. Jesus' words in Matthew 18:10 best support the belief: "See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father."
Devotion to the angels began to develop with the birth of the monastic tradition. St. Benedict gave it impetus and Bernard of Clairvaux, the great 12th-century reformer, was such an eloquent spokesman for the guardian angels that angelic devotion assumed its current form in his day.
A feast in honor of the guardian angels was first observed in the 16th century. In 1615, Pope Paul V added it to the Roman calendar.
Comment:
Quote:The concept of an unseen companion has given rise to many childish titters about leaving room for an angel in a crowded seat and teacher-induced terrors about the danger of sudden death for a child who fails to honor the angel with prayer. But devotion to the angels is, at base, an expression of faith in God's enduring love and providential care extended to each person day in and day out until life's end.
"May the angels lead you into paradise; may the martyrs come to welcome you and take you to the holy cit, the new and eternal Jerusalem." (Rite for Christian Burial)
It's only an hour. Please consider.
I would if I wasn't working, but I'll be taking care of God's most precious angels.
