There are many in the Pro Life Movement who become weary. It is a temptation to feel alone, helpless, and attacked by your family, friends and even those in your church community. Do not loose hope offer your suffering, united with our Lord and the Cross for the Redemption of the World!
Here are some talks, listen and do not loose hope!

Homily for Respect Life Sunday Oct 7, 2007 St. Francis of Assisi
(2) So too we must respond. As disciples of the Lord, as our Second Reading tells us, we must stir into flame the gift of God we have and be a light in the midst of the darkness. We have His Spirit dwelling within us; we have His truth and His promise that Light has conquered the darkness. We must be on fire with our love for the Lord, for the proclamation of the Gospel of life and in our service to those in most need. Your parish provides so many opportunities to reach out to those who hunger and thirst for human dignity and I am inspired to know the great number of parishioners who participate in these various endeavors and the countless number of people who benefit from your compassion and care. On this Respect Life Sunday, I repeat the request that I have made to all throughout the Diocese: as individuals and/or as a family, please pray the Rosary today with the special intention for the end of abortion. Our respect for the dignity of each person must also be reflected in the way we speak and treat those closest to us (spouses, parents, children and family members). And if you are going to respond on behalf of human life, others must see the respect and reverence you show yourself by treating your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit; avoiding substances and patterns of living that are destructive and behaviors that keep you from being a person who lives the life worthy of your calling. ~Bishop Burbidge,
