“[God] allows temptation so as to give you maturity, understanding and effectiveness in your apostolic work with souls, and above all, to make you humble, very humble.”

~S. Canals

For Reflection:

Have I seen temptation help me to mature spiritually? To be more understanding and effective in apostolic work? To humble me? How does all of this enable me to be better attuned to the will of God?

THE STORY I HAVE TO TELL

This story begins in 1976, the year I became aware of something called the “Pro-life movement” and takes the reader through 1994–the year that the anti-abortion clinic blockades basically came to an end, an activity that I pioneered, for which I went to court, and for which I served time in jail.  Thus this story is a slice of time–an important episode in the history of the anti-abortion movement seen through a narrative microscope.
