National Day of Remembrance for Unborn Children September 14

Legalized abortion in America over the several decades is surely our country’s greatest tragedy.

Calling on pro-life Americans to honor the gravesites of our aborted brothers and sisters. On Saturday, September 14, 2019, Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Priests for Life and the Pro-Life Action League will co-sponsor the annual National Day of Remembrance for Unborn Children.

When people become truly aware of the reality of abortion, they can more easily cut through the lies by which some try to justify it, and the natural apathy to which human nature is inclined. Even pro-life people are thrust into a higher level of commitment and activism. abortionmemorials.com

I don’t have any relatives or friends interred at this cemetery, but it does contain one rather unique gravesite that I’ve visited on a number of occasions over the past few years: namely, the final resting place of 2,033 babies killed by abortion, who were laid to rest by Cardinal Joseph Bernardin in 1988.

I encourage you to participate at your local memorial service, many of which will be held at the gravesites or designated memorial sites of aborted victims. When we gather in His name, our intercessory prayer honors the innocent victims – the living and the dead – in an effort to help us as a nation heal, forgive, and bring this devastation to an end.

Legalized abortion in America over the several decades is surely our country’s greatest tragedy. In the Sermon on the Mount, Our Lord brings us renewed hope from our mourning and weeping in this vale of tears: “Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”  Day of Remembrance Locations

Tens of thousands of these children have been retrieved and buried at gravesites across our country. The stories of how they were killed, how they were found, and how they were buried, along with the pictures and videos that document those events, are powerful tools to awaken the consciences of our fellow citizens.
