HOLY WEEK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Final Update of the Spring\/Lenten Campaign<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer Hour of Thanksgiving<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We held out closing \u201cPrayer Hour of Thanksgiving\u201d on Palm Sunday with a procession from Holy Name Church to Planned Parenthood while praying the Way of the Cross for the Victims of Abortion<\/em><\/strong>.<\/strong> Thanks to Deacon Dave Shaffer who lead the prayers and gave his remarks. He noted that as we heard in the reading of the Passion of Christ that morning in St. Matthew\u2019s Gospel, Jesus was crucified at Golgotha, which in Aramaic means \u201cPlace of the Skull\u201d because the hill resembles a skull with hollow eye sockets. A long-standing Christian tradition claims the skull of Adam was buried at the base of the hill. Jesus\u2019 blood ran down through the cracks in the stone, thus signifying Christ’s victory over death where it first began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

40 Days for Life 365<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between the two yearly 40 day\/24 hour prayer campaigns, we are joining with about 60 other cities who are taking part in 40 Days for Life 365<\/em><\/strong>. The goal is to eventually have prayer at Planned Parenthood during all of their office hours. We are beginning by asking for help to cover 8am to 5pm (last hour 4-5pm) on Wednesdays with April 8th<\/sup> being the first day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can sign up on our website, www.40daysforlife.com\/cincinnati<\/a>, just as during a 40 Days for Life spring or fall campaign. The calendar will only display Planned Parenthood\u2019s office hours as we know them. Weekly prayer commitments are ideal, but whatever you can do will be a blessing. If you can\u2019t make it on Wednesdays, you may sign up for any day and hour displayed. As this is just beginning and there will be gaps in our coverage at first, signs will not be brought to the site. If you would like a sign to keep and bring with you each time you come, please contact me and I can arrange getting a sign to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, our entire 40 Days for Life core team is very grateful to you for sacrificing your time and convenience through COLD, snow, rain, wind and some beautiful days to take part in covering the 960 hours of our Spring\/Lenten campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wish you a Blessed Holy Week and a Happy Easter Season!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
