The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is standing room only. Thousands of pilgrims, hundreds of clergy, and dozens of bishops filled the church tonight for the Opening Mass of the National Prayer Vigil for Life — united in prayer for the protection of every human life.
Well they got a nice sized crowd in D.C. at least. From where I'm at, the "March for Life" was very low-key & downplayed. Used to be they sent all types of youth groups, seminarians, etc to the March. But this year- NOTHING except a mention at Mass yesterday, and that NOT even in the homily but only opening remarks and "prayers of the faithful" [General Intercessions] that made sure to "balance" the Right to Life with all sorts of seamless garment stuff like immigration, poverty, & mental health!
GOD BLESS them. The unborn babies are among the most beautiful souls which also includes these beautiful pro-life pilgrims whom GOD has created.
