A young adult Catholic group has organized a national campaign to offer prayer and sacrifice from now until Nov. 4 in support of the sanctity of life and the need to uphold family values in the upcoming election.
Sacrifices for Life is a pro-life group of young adult Catholics who are calling on Americans to pray and make daily sacrifices from now until Nov. 4 for the purpose of restoring a culture of life in America and to help turn the tide against other anti-life practices that are threatening to destroy the family and the American way of life.
“The upcoming election is crucial for the pro-life movement in this country, said Diana Roccograndi, Sacrifices for Life founder to Christian NewsWire. “Many of us are praying and working to elect pro- life candidates who will fight to uphold our family values – our prayers and works will be more powerful when united with sacrifice.”
Roccograndi’s group takes its inspiration from numerous examples from the Old and New Testaments and the lives of the saints that prove prayer and action combined with sacrifice can bring God’s mercy and healing to our land.
The program especially calls upon Lady of Guadalupe, asking Her to end child-killing in America today as she did in the Americas 500 years ago. Along with this prayer, participants make sacrifices such as abstaining from sweets, television, complaining, or anything else they want to do without.
The effort is growing exponentially as Election Day approaches with members joining from across the country. Flyers and sample cover letters are available for download and may be distributed to all concerned Christians, parishes, schools, communities and other Catholic organizations.
It’s not too late to effect change in the upcoming elections and organizers say now is the time to implore God to save his children and our nation!
