“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…” Jeremiah 1:5
As parents it is essential to talk to our children about the sanctity of life. Does anyone have ideas about how to do that (age appropriate)? We couldn’t make it this year to the March for Life, but we are praying for those who are travelling to our nation’s capital for the event. I found a great Orthodox prayer service available here: Prayer and Supplication service for the Victims of Abortion. It’s a shame that the “civil rights” folks, for the most part, are blinded to such a violation of civil rights!
Also it is important that if you are not aware of FOCA to educate yourself about its “change,” and if you feel like I do, sign the petition.
Some more great links for the day:
National Sanctity of Human Life Day proclamation by President Bush
Archpastoral Message of His Beatitude, Metropolitan Jonah for Sanctity of Life Sunday
I love that scripture verse!
My uncle also performed that service at church last night before he and a few other priests headed off to the march.
May God have mercy on us all, especially those dear children of God and their mothers!
Great question…I want my children to know that abortion is wrong. They are 5 and 7 and I think they can handle the truth. We’ve talked about it briefly, but I told them that even if you can’t see someone, it may be there. A good book to read is “Horton Hears a Who.”
Thank you for this post.
