She will also present those things that can combat him and help us draw closer to God in all aspects of our lives. It's especially important today to understand that we are fighting a battle that we must win. Never before, have Christians been so openly discriminated against. More Christians were martyred in the 20th century than through all of history. The massacres continue today all over the world and in our own country, Christians are threatened every day in the workplace, schools etc. because of their refusal to deny Christ and His teachings. We know that God will be victorious, but we need to be prepared on all fronts to fight the enemy. YOUTH GROUP (Continued) February 23rd: We will begin a new Fr.

Let us rejoice today in our Sixth Spiritual Adoption of God’s Children that are Wonderfully made in His Image and Likeness. With Great Enthusiasm, we celebrate the life of our already adopted children in the past, and now, in keeping with the sanctity of life, we are welcoming you to adopt yet another child of God. The Life Ministry is sponsoring our Sixth Parish-Wide Spiritual Adoption beginning this week-end. Its purpose is threefold: First - To Pray for Unborn Babies in danger of abortion. Second - To Educate people about the Development of the Unborn child over the nine months of pregnancy. Third - To influence the Hearts and Minds of all to Value Live. Please join in spiritually adopting a baby into your heart so that your child may be protected from the danger of abortion. There are Pink and Blue Spiritual Adoption Pledge Cards available to each of you. Please name your baby and pray daily for your baby. Please drop these pledge cards in the collection basket and they will be placed at the feet of Our Blessed Mother for Protection. There are Prayer Cards available, also, for each and everyone. Please KEEP this prayer card and put your baby’s name on the back of the card. This will remind you to pray daily for your adopted child. You will receive weekly reports in the church bulletin on your adopted baby’s development during the next nine months. This is a perfect way to instruct your children in the development of a child in the womb. Allow them to share in the spiritual adoption and prayers for your very special child. Mother Teresa: “without prayer there is no faith; without faith - no love; without love - no service and without service - no joy, no peace.”
