A silent but powerful witness

By Mary DeTurris Poust

Around the country Catholics are participating in the 40 Days for Life campaign -- praying, fasting, keeping vigil, reaching out on behalf of the unborn. What you'll see in this very brief video clip is just one example of the vitriolic opposition pro-lifers face as they quietly protest the greatest evil in our country. You will see the Sisters of Life, the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and other participants praying the Rosary outside an abortion clinic in the Bronx as unseen protesters chant, "Hey, hey, ho, ho, 40 Days has got to go." Not very creative, but disturbing nonetheless.



The current 40 Days for Life campaign began Sept. 23 and runs through Nov. 1. As of today, the 40 Days website says: "Day 7 - 56 babies saved." It's not to late to join the effort and make a difference.
