In just nine days, thousands of Canadians will make their way en masse to Parliment Hill in the nation's capital for the 13th annual National March for Life.
The theme of this year's March, "Exodus: A Future Without Abortion" is fitting in that like the Isrealites making their way through the desert on a 40-year trek, we Canadians, too have been making our way through the spiritual desert. Many Canadians do not know that 40 years ago, Trudeau effectively enabled abortion on demand in all 9 months of pregnancy by striking down all the existing abortion-regulating laws.
Because of this sweeping gesture, one out of every three pregnancies ends in abortion.

Keep checking back as the 13th annual March for Life draws near.
Also, be sure to check out LifeSiteNews.com for up-to-date reporting and coverage of the March.
Most importantly: continue to pray for conviction. Conviction not only for yourselves, but for all of those whose jobs demands them to face the incoming tides of the culture of death on a daily basis: in particular our Canadian bishops (at the time of this writing 11 Bishops have confirmed their attendance at the March for Life), our MPs and MPPs, and those in education and medicine. It is important to face darkness with great confidence while armed with humility and the armor that only faithful prayer can provide.
I look forward to seeing you all at the March for Life on May 14th!
