March for Life!

Dear Family and Friends,

The Knights are back! We did not intend to leave everybody wondering what we've been up to. As you might imagine, Christmas was wonderful! Our Christmas break was very busy but awesome.

The spring formation semester has begun here at Holy Apostles Seminary and we're all excited about our new classes. But for now, we want to hold-off on talking about ourselves.

This Thursday, January 22nd is the March for Life in Washington D.C. Our new president Barrack Obama, is ready to reverse practically everything that the Culture of Life has fought for up to this point. Obama is incredibly intent on passing FOCA (Freedom of Choice Act) into law, which would do away with state laws on parental involvement, on partial birth abortion, and on all other protections. FOCA would compel taxpayer funding of abortions. It would also force faith-based hospitals and healthcare facilities to perform abortions.
I encourage all of you to go to the March for Life and fight for the unborn, the most precious in our society, who cannot defend themselves, and who are legally killed every minute. There is an atrocious war going on in our own country. But we will fight back most especially with our prayer, because ultimately this is spiritual warfare, between Satan and the powers of Hell controlling the culture of death and God and the Heavenly Hosts leading the Culture of Life. The outcome has already been decided. Christ will triumph. But we must pray through the intercession of Our Lady, Queen of the Americas, as well as with the communion of saints. We must march (at least spiritually) with our rosaries, and with our humility, our earnest hope, our youthful joy, and most especially our love. Please support the marchers with your prayers. Prayer warriors are the most important!
May Our Lord bless you all abundantly with His grace,
The Knights of the Holy Eucharist
