How hard it is when the weather is brutal. Snow, rain, cold, and wind. The sacrifice is huge. You can barely see our volunteer in the rain and storm.

Yet, “Go out into the streets and proclaim the Gospel of Life!” said our Blessed Pope John Paul II.

And so we come to defend the most precious Gift of Life: wonderful family groups, the  Knights of Columbus, leading the charge to defend life, Msgr. McCabe from St. Mary’s, who has prayed here every Sunday for the last ten 40 Days for Life campaigns, and all our faithful volunteers.

This week a passerby asked what we were doing here. Our volunteer explained our calling to pray and be present to those in a crisis pregnancy. He thanked us for what we were doing.

That’s why we’re here.

What a gorgeous day God gave us to begin praying for the community to be Planned Parenthood-Free!

We begin with a beautiful prayer by our Vicar of Rockland County, Monsignor Weber.

We were so blessed to have our guitarist and three wonderful children from St. Joseph’s on drums and violin. The music was spiritually uplifting!

We prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet and The Sorrowful Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary. How incredible to see the youth coming and praying for LIFE! We are called to be a voice for the most innocent among us — the baby in the womb.

We know the truth — America is founded upon the INALIENABLE RIGHT TO LIFE. We are standing on Holy Ground — The Planned Parenthood Prayer Site.

For 40 Days, we will be the hope for those who feel they have no choice. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD.

Sisters of Life Respond to HHS Mandate

Posted on by

“Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act each of us will be required by law to obtain health insurance, or face fines. Since this HHS mandate will require every insurer to include abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and artificial contraception, we will not be able to obtain any coverage that is free from those ‘services,’ and we will be forced to pay for them directly. Since we are neither employers, nor employees, of any religious institution, we cannot even take advantage of the ‘religious exemption’ contained in the new regulations or the ‘compromise.’ “

The Sisters invite you to join with them in prayer and fasting that our Nation will be protected against this great threat against liberty.

Description of video images: We began our Journey at 6:10 am on a sleety, cold, Monday morning.

Jerry Moriarity led us in the Joyful Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary. We prayed for a safe journey (Jeff is our bus driver) and for God to turn our beloved country of America from death to LIFE.

Father Antonio Astudillo from St. John the Baptist in Piermont prayed the Finding of Our Lord Jesus in the Temple in Spanish.  Continue reading →
