3 CONDOLENCES: (CCC 1405) There is no surer pledge or clearer sign of this great hope in the new heavens and new earth in which righteousness dwells, than the Eucharist.

"Abby Johnson is a witness that our prayerful presence has a powerful impact on the women who enter and on the employees." Noting that the fruits of Johnson's conversion are abundant in her two years in the pro-life movement, he added, "The pro-life movement is stronger than ever today and much of that has do with the courage of Abby Johnson."Johnson will be received into the Catholic Church five days after her talk at Franciscan University. The event begins with a short pro-life musical performance by Franciscan students. After her talk, Johnson will sign copies of her book, which can be purchased for $20. There is no charge for the event, though donations will be accepted to help defray costs.
