so I just went to Mass today and the homily began with today being the saddest anniversary ever. 33 years ago today, Roe v. Wade passed. and the statistics that our pastor mentioned were amazing:
40 million babies have died since the legalization of abortion
that's 1.3 million babies each year
and there are 157 each day in LA county alone
how sad.
they had a candlelight vigil at the cathedral yesterday and they had 157 people light candles for all of the babies that had died yesterday alone. then they had 157 seconds of silence. our pastor said that in the midst of the 157 seconds of silence, there was a little bustle of young children getting restless and some children starting to cry, but it was a welcome sound because these children were given a chance at the world.
another quotable he said was from Blessed Theresa of Calcutta. She stated "until the world is not afraid of children, then there will never be peace"
we can only pray for all of these children and their families. go life - all the way.
