Please support us in Prayer and Penance for 40 Days to keep abortion out of Ireland.



Archbishop Eamon Martin, Coadjutor Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Armagh has asked us to support this important initiative at his homily in Dundalk, Co. Louth, when he said the followiing: 

Not long before he died, Pope John Paul told the young people in Rome, ‘There is no authentic celebration or adoration of the Eucharist that does not lead to mission’.  In a world where human life itself is under attack, we have a particular and critical mission.  The other day a member of the Apostolate of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration told me – I am offering up my holy hour each week before the Blessed Sacrament so that, even at this late stage, the government may have a change of heart and not introduce legislation for abortion into our country. 

The organisation ‘Precious Life’ is calling on all of us to offer forty days of prayer and fasting from the 12 May for the protection of unborn children in this country. I support these initiatives, because if we are in ‘communion’ with Christ, the Bread of Life, at Mass or during adoration, then we are also ‘commissioned’ to bring the Good News about Life out there into our community. How can we be in communion with the Bread of Life at Mass or here tonight and not speak the ‘Gospel of Life’ in our daily lives, especially these days when unborn human life is under such a direct threat in our country?

If you are on Facebook please go to Precious Life Facebook and like their page and give them your support.  They are a wonderful organisation that not only acts against abortion but also encourages Prayer and Penance which is vital against the spirits of darkness in abortion and euthanasia. 

We can pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet every day against this evil and pray it a few times a day during this forty days especially along with other prayers.  
Nothing is impossible to God.  
Have Faith and Trust in Him who can do all things.
