March for Life Pictures

My kids sent me some pictures from their trip to WA DC to March for Life. It just keeps growing. As our pastor says, "simple truths prevail." I know our laws will change when our hearts change, when we recognize that every life is worth living. This was Max's third year so he knew a lot of people at the March. And I was pleased to hear he ran into Dagny and her friends too.   





 

I love that the kids sent me pictures of the beautiful churches where they heard Mass. They were packed. Max has spent two summers interning in DC and he said it's not the case on a regular basis. He told us about a very interesting observation from one of the priests at Mass, that before every great miracle, there's been a terrible killing of innocents, especially children to prevent it from happening. Think of Moses, how he was saved, because Pharoah was killing Jewish children. When Jesus was born and the Wise Men came looking, Herod decided to murder the Holy Innocents. Until Our Lady of Tepeyac made an appearance in Mexico, child sacrifice was common. But nowhere in history have we seen the massacre of children until our recent times--1 billion worldwide and counting (that's more than 1/10). And it's been the bloodiest century as well. Is there a great miracle about to happen? What's the devil afraid of? I should ask, Whose presence does he fear? Come, Lord Jesus.

You mean they went separately and just ran into each other? Miracles in deed never cease...

Yup, they made separate travel and sleeping arrangements. Max was in Annapolis with friends, Dagny downtown DC in a B&B with her friends. It's a wonder how they found each other amongst 100,000 people but they carry their cell phones with them all the time.

Wonderful pictures! The priest's connection about children being killed before a great miracle takes place is very interesting. It gave me chills to read that. May Jesus'Sacred Heart reign soon!

The kids came through for me with pictures :) Max had never made that correlation either so was excited to share it with us. But it's scary to think of the tribulations we might have to go through--all those prophecies--before the reign of Christ. Parce Domine!
