A thought for the Day

"When the time comes, as it surely will, when we face that awesome moment, the final judgment, I've often thought, as Fulton Sheen wrote, that it is a terrible moment of loneliness. You have no advocates, you are there alone standing before God -- and a terror will rip your soul like nothing you can imagine. But I really think that those in the pro-life movement will not be alone. I think there'll be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world -- and they will plead for everyone who has been in this movement. They will say to God, 'Spare him, because he loved us!'" 

-- the late pro-life hero, Congressman Henry Hyde

Lord Have Mercy.

Thank you for these words. I will be sure and let my children read them. They prayed, fasted, and debated with others at school about the necessity to vote pro-life. I don't want them to think it was all for nothing. I am so proud of them for being loud and clear about life. I hope and pray that these words stay with them always as they continue sticking up for life.

Thanks for sharing the quote. I was very sad Tuesday. I decided this coming year, we will go to the March for Life.

Great quote! I believe that this is a call for me to do more, all the time, not just at election time!
