As he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the the highest!" And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples." He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out." ~Luke 19: 37-40

God calls us, who know so well His goodness and the beauty of His works, to raise our voices unceasingly in defense of the dignity of Life.

Respect Life Prayer Vigil


This past Friday night, a small group of the faithful gathered to pray before the Blessed Sacrament at St. Adalbert parish in Berea. They participated in Holy Mass and a prayer vigil for the intentions of Life, religious freedom, and that God's will be done in outcome of the upcoming elections. It was a beautiful evening. Quiet and peaceful in the lovely church. The voices of a few raised together in supplication.  My family arrived late and we were only able to stay for an hour... but I thank God that we were able to take a moment to spend with our Christian brothers and sisters before our Blessed Lord.

The day-to-day is so busy for all of us, I know. Can we spare just one hour to be together in prayer?

On Friday, October 26th, St. Mary's in Berea will host the Annual "Respect Life" Mass and Prayer Vigil. Please save this date. Our prayers and efforts for the unborn and for the welfare of our country in the upcoming election are so important.
