10 Word of Life Intercessions for Life - April 17 & 24, 2011 From Deacon Walter Yoshimitsu, Chancellor April 17th PALM SUNDAY OF THE LORD S PASSION For the innocent children tortured and killed in abortion clinics: that their suffering may be joined to that of Our Lord s on the cross for the forgiveness and salvation of their parents; We pray to the Lord: Bulletin Brief This is not a church issue; this is a civil rights issue, the premier civil rights issue of our day! All we are asking is that the equal protection of the law promised by our beloved constitution be applied to the pre-born baby. All we re promoting is the noble right to life assured in our nation s foundational documents, which list the right to life first among those inalienable rights no one has the power to take away. ~ Most Rev. Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York and USCCB President, Speech at the Fourth Annual Respect Life Week, Yonkers, NY, Jan. 9, 2011 April 24th EASTER SUNDAY: THE SOLEMNITY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD For the elderly members of our parish family: that the joy of the Resurrection will fill their sunset years with hope and peace; We pray to the Lord: Bulletin Brief I was watching a show about seals. It was a very well done show that followed a group of scientists on the West Coast doing a study on a particular group of seals. During their work they discovered that one of the seals was badly injured, and when they examined her more closely, they realized that she was also pregnant, and not only was she pregnant, but she was very far along in her pregnancy, so far along that the scientists were almost certain that the baby seals would be able to survive outside their mother s womb, but after further tests they all agreed that there was no way to save the life of the mother, and that if she were to die, her babies would die with her. So they did an emergency operation and saved the lives of all the baby seals. None of the scientists questioned what the mother seal s choice was; they didn t ask if the unborn baby seals had a right to live. No, they just used their common sense and did the right thing. They protected life. Human beings instinctively want to save life, but how then in our country could there be so many who are not prolife? ~Rev. Mark Ivany, Homily, Mass in Washington, DC on the morning of the March for Life, Jan. 24, 2011 U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities,
