Urgent, Pro Life Vigil At London Abortuary

"Here at The Good Counsel Network, we are intending to increase the weekday pro-life presence outside marie stopes abortuary, 108 Whitfield Street, W1T 5EA. The nearest tube stations are Great Portland Street and Warren Street. The week commencing Monday 29th November 2010, I will be there pavement counselling from 9am-1.30pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. We hope to have prayer supporters, counsellors and Priests to cover all of these times.

The Holy Father has asked all the faithful to have a Vigil of Prayer for Nascent Human Life, during the first week of Advent. As we prepare for the coming of Our Saviour’s birth, and as we meditate on Our Lord developing in the womb of Mary, and recall His vulnerability and how He was born in the humble dwelling of a stable, the flight from Herod’s tyranny to Egypt, and the putting to death of the new born Innocents, I invite you to come to the abortuary and pray. What a wonderful opportunity to prepare for the coming of the Christ Child during Advent. Any turn around that happens outside an abortuary is due to God's grace granted through the peaceful prayerful witness of Priests and lay faithful.
If you can’t come for the whole four and half hours, I encourage you to do two hours.

Whatever time you can spare is much appreciated, and will help save many children, through God’s Grace from the tyrannical clutches of the new “Herod”, and save many Mums and Dads from anguish and despair.

If you are unable to come, due to infirmity or ill health, please find time even for a short while to pray, and fast if you are able, while we are there, so that hearts may be changed and despairing souls transformed and illuminated through the Merciful Heart of Christ.

If you can't stand for long periods of time, feel free to bring a fold up chair. If you are able to come for the whole of, or part of the vigil, please email me at info@goodcounselnetwork.freeserve.co.uk or call me on 02077231740. I look forward to seeing you there. Without your prayerful presence, Mothers may not choose life for their children."

I have taken this from the Good Counsel blog, if you can attend please contact them so they know when enough people will be there.

The Big Society....Oh Go On Then!

David Cameron, Pro-Death leader of the Con Dem coalition government here in London has been talking about what he calls The Big Society. As you don't get much bigger than GK Chesterton, I assumed he was talking about the Catholic GK Chesterton Society, but not so. It seems that in fact he wants people to volunteer to run local services etc, some cynics say it is just to save money for the government!

Well just to say, I don't mind being Prime Minister as a volunteer if it will help and as we don't really want to live in Downing Street we could let out number ten to raise a bit of cash to help the Poor Starving MP's Expenses Fund!

On a serious point, volunteering is important for our own good, as well as the good of those we help. To volunteer contact Good Counsel or The Helpers of God's Precious Infants.
