I See Your Archbishop And Raise You A Cardinal

Spending a large number of hours praying near an abortion centre at a 40 days for Life Vigil during Lent can sometimes be a bit disheartening, but to have the support of Priests, Bishops, Archbishops and Cardinals is very encouraging. Their presence can also be a great witness to mothers attending the abortion centre. Over the years we have seen a number of women choose life for their children when seeing a religious standing quietly in prayer. It can certainly give them something more to think about.

As you will have seen on this blog, Bishop David Waller of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, attended the 40 Days for Life vigil in Brixton, on Tuesday 17th February. This vigil was further blessed when His Grace, the Right Reverend John Wilson, the Archbishop of Southwark attended the vigil on Thursday 19th February.

Now we're very  pleased to say that the 40 Days for Life vigil in Ealing has been greatly blessed to have His Eminence Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald attend their vigil to lead the prayers today.

So that you do not feel left out by all of this. Please contact Sarah today 07776256838 to attend the vigil in Ealing, which will be run until 8pm on Palm Sunday. The vigil in Ealing like that in Brixton, runs seven days a week from 8am until 8pm each day.

The Prayer Vigil in Brixton will run for 12 hours a day, 8am to 8pm, seven days a week from Ash Wednesday until Palm Sunday.

Every year after the 40 Day's for Life vigils end, on Palm Sunday, somebody will ask, "What time's and hours do I need to come and cover a slot praying at the vigil?" So, it really is a good thing to avoid disappointment, by booking early and booking often. 

So far this Lent there has been one Archbishop, a Bishop, four Priests and dozens of the faithful at the vigil to pray for the women going to the abortion centre in Brixton, and to offer them leaflets, which show them the real practical help and support that is available to them during their pregnancies and beyond, irrespective of their circumstances.

Since 40 Days for Life was founded in 2007 we  have seen 184 abortion centres close down, 275 abortion workers stop working in the abortion industry, as well as seeing 26,214 Mother's continue their pregnancies. 

That is 26,214 people walking around alive today, because someone just like you signed up to spend an hour or more praying in public!

The Prayer Vigil in Brixton will run for 12 hours a day, 8am to 8pm, seven days a week from Ash Wednesday until Palm Sunday. If you could spare an hour or more to come and pray with us, it would be of great help. The vigil takes place at the corner of Brixton Water Lane, London, SW2 5BJ.

If you are not a Priest, you are still very welcome to come and say some prayer for those in most need. And many thanks Father Andrew for joining us.

English Archbishop Leads Public Pro-Life Witness

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live - Deuteronomy 30:19, The reading from the Mass today.

This morning we were blessed to have the Archbishop of Southwark The Right Reverend John Wilson celebrate Mass in Corpus Christi Church across the road from where the vigil takes place. He offered this Mass for the 40 Days for Life campaign in Brixton, London and all the volunteers involved, a beautiful reminder that the Church is with us, praying and offering Masses for us.

We were then joined at the prayer vigil by the Archbishop and three priests - Fr Matthew O' Gorman, Fr Godfrey Ogwang and Fr Philip Andrews who led us in prayer. As the vigil continues throughout Lent the opening of this morning’s vigil should give all of us hope that many graces and blessings will be given to all who volunteer in the pro-life movement. The reading from the Mass today reminds us why we attend these vigils, this verse shows that God calls everyone to protect life and future generations. By taking part in these vigils we are helping people to choose life for their children and therefore protecting future generations.

The vigil in Brixton will run for 12 hours a day, 8am until 8pm, seven days a week from Ash Wednesday until Palm Sunday 29th March. If you could spare an hour or more to come and pray with us, it would be a great help. The vigil takes place at the corner of Brixton Hill and Brixton Water Lane, London, SW2 5BJ. For more details or to book to attend please call Gabriella on 07745711064 or 02077231740
