Passionate Catholics at Prolife Mass and Washington State March For Life 2012

Even the Seattle TIMES reported that although the crowd was small on the Capital steps compared to past years at the March for Life, the people were passionate.  Prior to the March, the Prolife Mass was celebrated at the Pavilion at St. Martin’s by Archbishop Sartain.  Women of St. Michael Parish joined President Kathleen Tansey and Legislative Chair Jill Lagergren in welcoming all at the doors.  The wore black and the NEW logo printed light blue scarves.ACCW representatives welcoming all to the ProLife Mass January 17, 2012

 

Prayer example using an aside and prayer category

Aside

God of heavenly wisdom, you have given us Mary, Mother of Jesus, to be our guide and counselor. Grant that we may always seek her motherly help in this life and so enjoy her blessed presence in the life to come. O Mother of Good Counsel, patroness of the National Council of Catholic Women, intercede for us that we may be wise, courageous, and loving leaders of the Church. Help us, dear Mother, to know the mind of Jesus, your Son. May the Holy Spirit fill us with reverence for God’s creation, and compassion for all of God’s children. May our labors of love on earth enhance the reign of God, and may God’s gifts of faith and living hope prepare us for the fullness of the world to come. We pray this through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
