40 Days for Life Day 1

Today was Ash Wednesday, that means it's the beginning of 40 Days for Life. The combination of the season of fasting, repentance, and increased devotion is a perfect fit with an even greater push in our work. It was also wonderful to see the many kind people who joined us in the Bronx and in Queens today outside the abortion mills.

We also saw our first confirmed turnaround of the Lenten 40 Days today, care of Abby. The ability to actually see these first results of the effort to save babies is an amazing experience. The real impact, however, is impossible to know. It is a bit overwhelming to think that just one little word or one action, like handing out a flier with information on abortion can have an impact that not only touches the lives of that mother and child, but makes a change that reverberates down the generations. Not only is this work life-changing, but it is truly changes all of humanity. All because of a little bundle of joy that is spared on a cold February morning in the Bronx.
