Pray for an end to abortion¦ 40 Days for Life: September 23 to November 1, 2009 Bl. Pier Giorgio was known for spending tireless hours in prayer, serving the poor and standing up fearlessly to the anti-clerical Fascists. In our own time we see the pressing need to pray for our own government and the pro-death mentality of many American people. One opportunity to focus your prayer is to plug into the 40 Days for Life campaign, which includes 40 days of fasting, prayer and 24/7 peaceful vigil on public sidewalks in front of abortion clinics all around the country. Locally, the Vigil will take place in front of Health Partners Regions Hospital at 640 Jackson St. in St. Paul (55101), one of six places in the Twin Cities where abortions are performed. You can commit yourself to a specific hour / day by calling Brian Walker of Pro-Life Action Ministries at 651-771-1500 ext 211 or just stop by with a friend when you are able and pray a rosary. To sign up online, go to http://40daysforlife.com/twincities/ Even if you are unable to attend the vigil, you can pray and fast for this cause. It is so simple, yet this national effort has seen a huge impact around the country (abortion facilities are reported to have closed, abortion workers have quit their jobs, and over 1,000 babies were saved in one of the last campaigns)! Know that prayer (especially the rosary) and fasting are weapons that can change the course of history. Take your post and be not afraid. If you are unable to get to Regions Hospital, one of the other locations where abortions are performed may be closer to you: PLANNED PARENTHOOD 1965 Ford Pkwy Saint Paul, MN 55116 ROBBINSDALE CLINIC PA 3819 W Broadway Ave (next door to a large yard crucifix & adoration in the Chapel of the Innocents!) Robbinsdale, MN 55422 MEADOWBROOK WOMENS CLINIC 825 S 8th St. Minneapolis, MN 55404 MIDWEST HEALTH CENTER for WOMEN 33 S 5th St., 4th Floor Minneapolis, MN 55402 MILDRED S. HANSON, MD 710 E 24th St., Suite # 403 Minneapolis, MN 55404 If you go http://www.40daysforlife.com you can sign up for daily email announcements and receive news flashes from around the country. I personally don't care for daily emails but this one was exciting to receive because they were constantly reporting all the babies lives that were known to be saved, the clinic workers that sought information and the eventual closing of a clinic at the end of one 40 Days event! Since we will rarely hear this on the news, they give us hope when hope is hard to find. Sacred Heart of Jesus, we love You! Sacred Heart of Jesus, we trust in You! Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us! St. Joseph, pray for us! Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati, pray for us! St. Gianna, pray for us! John Paul II the Great, pray for us! Holy Guardian Angels, watch over us and protect us! |

| Nov 16 | Mon | 7:00p Frassati Night Holy Hour and Fellowship |
Frassati Night Holy Hour & Fellowship Time: 7 pm Holy Hour, 8 pm-9:30 pm Fellowship Location: Church of St. Joseph, 1154 Seminole Ave, St. Paul, MN 55118 Fellowship: The Liffey Irish Pub: 175 7th St. W, St. Paul, MN 55102 (651) 556-2520 RSVP: Helpful but not necessary, Lars Nelson at dybaduk@yahoo.com or 763-257-5625 One of the most important -- no actually, the most important -- thing for our patron, Pier Giorgio, was prayer before our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. It was the source of his strength, his love, and his sanctity. Without prayer Frassati would have been a wit, an outdoorsman, and an activist -- but not a Blessed. So too our Society, without our Holy Hour, would be just another club. But with prayer as your center things like camping, friends and good brew become not just pleasures unto themselves but something sacramental that can help us along on our journey to the Inn at the End of the World, where the Laughter never ends and the Joy never runs dry. So come, join us. |
