Friday: A Special Day of Penance!

Greetings,

Every Friday we are to remember the passion of Jesus Christ and we should abstain from meat or make another symbolic sacrifice.  However, Friday, January 22 is a Special day of Penance.  The Bishops of the United States have called all American Catholics to do penance and to fast for the violations to the dignity of the human person committed through the acts of abortion, and of prayer for the full restoration of the legal guarantee of the Right of Life.   If you go to daily Mass your priest should be wearing purple vestments as a sign of penance.

There are 3,700 children who are aborted every day in the United States alone.   That is 3,700 lives that have been ended.  They will not be buried, and they will not even receive the dignity of a name.  Please join this day of penance, fast and prayer.

peace
