CELEBRATE IT MONDAY

The annual march for life is getting more sophistocated- not so many signs last year stating "repeal Roe" because people realize it isn't that simple- and all Roe did was decriminalize state statutes (Texas in particular) and establish a framework by which various trimesters were treated differently. Subsequent case progeny made clearer what spaces and blanks Roe left out and there is now a well established body of precedent that is based on a few premises that are easily challengeable.

But whatever you think of the now decades of judicial reasoning one thing is clear:
50 Million abortions in a country of 300 Mil in a generation is outrageous and stunningly obscene. Something is really really wrong on a societal level-not just
a personal one that society needs to address.

Responsible people recognize it- and without knowing exactly how to fix it, they want it paid attention to and addressed responsibly by Congress-so people are now marching on a Monday to go visit their Congressional reps.
They are coming from all over the country- because there isn't a town or village that is not impacted by this social and moral crisis.
If you would like to participate in a Mass first then Rally (8:30-10:00am) at St. Matthews Cathedral, they would like you to register first at

Bishop Gonzales will be the presider and Fr.Evelio will lead the March. Both these special clerics are deeply inspirational- they are both bilingual which is critically important in DC where large immigrant populations from various latin american countries live (Fr. Evelio is originally from El Salvador and Bishop Gonzales from Spain.)

At the Rally a very special guest Tony Melendez , a Nicaraguan who was born without arms and plays beautiful guitar with his feet will be there . He played for the Pope once upon a time.

I have to be in trial Monday am. but may try to get there prior.
If I miss seeing you my prayers are with you.
