During the time of priestly formation, opportunities are often presented where seminarians are able to give witness to our faith. Occasionally, these opportunities lead them beyond the local community, to proclaiming the Gospel with fellow Catholics on a national level.
In 2010, on January 21-24, thirteen seminarians from Holy Trinity Seminary will be going to the “March for Life” in Washington D.C. The “March for Life” is an annual pro-life rally protesting abortion, held in our nation’s capital. Since 1973, Pro-Life supporters from around the country have been rallying and marching in Washington D.C. to witness peacefully, to protest, and to pray on the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. Last year approximately 200,000 people attended this rally.
Several of the seminarians here at Holy Trinity Seminary have even been invited to serve Mass with Cardinal DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston Houston, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Cardinal DiNardo is the chair of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop’s Committee on Pro-Life activities and will be the main celebrant and homilist at the Mass.
We ask for your prayers and support- for an end to abortion and for our pilgrimage.
MARCH FOR LIFE PRAYER NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
Our Lady of Guadalupe,
we turn to you who are the protectress of unborn children
and ask that you intercede for us,
so that we may more firmly resolve
to join you in protecting all human life.
Let our prayers be united
to your perpetual motherly intercession
on behalf of those whose lives are threatened,
be they in the womb of their mother,
on the bed of infirmity,
or in the latter years of their life.
May our prayers also be coupled with peaceful action
which witnesses to the goodness and dignity of all human life,
so that our firmness of purpose
may give courage to those who are fearful
and bring light to those who are blinded by sin.
Encourage those who will be involved in the March for Life;
help them to walk closely with God
and to give voice to the cry of the oppressed,
in order to remind out nation
of its commitment to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness for all people.
O Virgin Mother of God,
present our petitions to your Son
and ask Him to bless us with abundant life.
Amen.
