THE CHALLENGE IS REAL
Saint John Paul the Great, save our children from this wicked generation.

“The dragon was angry against the woman and went off to make war
on the rest of her offspring...” (Rev. 12:17).
It is clear, priests “Choose Life.” (Deut. 30:15-20). We choose to follow Mary and help defend and rescue her offspring; “Rescue the Weak”, (Ps 82); to respect human life at all stages; to protect the interests of the unborn child, the infant, the infirm, the handicapped and the elderly, from conception to natural death.
There is no other option. We are “Priests for Life” or we are not priests of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
We realize there is a further need for more intense effort, shared information, whole-hearted involvement, unified strategy and natural prayer support. A pro-life commitment is essential to all priests. We can make a difference, if we follow Mary to Jesus to the cross... “Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array.” (Cant 6:9). She knows the Way of the Cross and has the power to lead us to victory as Our Lady of Guadalupe. “In me is all grace.” (Ecclus. 24-25).
“Priests for Life, Canada” invites all bishops, priests and deacons to become part of this much needed association. We need to pray, work, plan and lead our people together. We need to inform, teach, motivate and mobilize the faithful in the pro-life movement. We need each other. We need you. “Be strong in this battle.” (Eph 6:10-20).
Through abortion people are sinning against the Holy Spirit, because life comes through the Holy Spirit. We must use all the gifts of Holy Orders we receive from the Holy Spirit to protect the sanctity of human life, or many more will be victimized and killed, by omission as well as by commission, we are called to lead in “The Church Militant”.
Spiritual warfare is real. Satan knows he can’t win, but he has not surrendered. He is seeking souls by promoting a culture of death. No soul is off limits. His main strategy is fear and deceit. Our strategy is to use the weapons given to us by Jesus: the Mass; the Word; His Sacramental Graces; the Rosary; the Angels, the Truth; Marching in Faith and Courage to build “A Culture of Life”, “A Civilization of Love.” (Pope John Paul II). ¤
My thoughts on this
"Father Jim's statement is crystal clear. It is not ambiguous. We must protect human life at all stages. It's not an option. Recently we have had new attacks on children We have a duty to protect them. The influence that social media has on young girls and boys going is frightening. They are being brainwashed by a society that hates God. We all know the indoctrination that is going on but sadly, our political leaders, instead of protecting our children have jumped on this inane bandwagon with parades promoting obscenities of all kinds. It has worked its way into being promoted in a big way by the Federal Government, hospitals, and education, almost everywhere.........
Recently I was privileged to see the movie "The Sound of Freedom "exposing the evils of child trafficking" You would think that everyone would support the urgent need to do everything it takes to protect these innocent children. But guess what? Not so! The reviews from Legacy Media critics were plain evil. I don't know what's with the negativity from Hollywood either. Are they all stupid or do they have something to hide
As practicing Catholics we Must Choose Life. We have a responsibility to defend the dignity and sanctity of human life from conception to natural death." Maureen
