January 22 marks
the 40th anniversary of Roe v.
Wade, the Supreme Court case that legalized abortion in America. Beginning today, the U. S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops is calling on American Catholics to participate in Nine Days
of Prayer, Penance, and Pilgrimage for the healing and conversion of elected
officials who support abortion and people whose lives have been changed by
abortion. The novena ends on January 27.
See their site for more information, and remember to
pray for those pilgrims who will participate in Marches for Life throughout the
nation this coming Friday.
