Ann
Arbor… On Good Friday, March 29, pro-life citizens will participate in a “Way
of the Cross for Victims of Abortion,” along with pro-lifers throughout the
country holding similar prayer vigils on that day. The Ann Arbor event will
take place at the Planned Parenthood abortion facility, 3100 Professional Drive
in Ann Arbor at 10:00 am.
“On Good Friday we remember the
suffering and death of Jesus Christ at Golgotha, which means ‘the place of the
skull,’” explained Sandie Weathers, one of the local organizers of the prayer
vigil. “We have our own ‘Golgotha’ right here in Washtenaw County at the
Planned Parenthood Abortion Facility, where innocent unborn children, created
in the image of God, also suffer violent deaths by abortion.”
Christians of all denominations have
been invited to participate in this solemn, ecumenical prayer service. Prayers
will be offered for all the victims of abortion—the children lost, the mothers
wounded, the communities blighted—as well as for those responsible for
perpetuating this injustice, from “pro-choice” elected officials to those
working in the abortion industry.
“Through His Holy Passion, Our Lord
united Himself with all the victims of suffering in this life,” remarked Weathers.
“None suffer more innocently than children in the womb whose lives are taken by
abortion. None suffer more deeply than their mothers, carrying a heavy burden
of guilt and shame.”
This nationwide prayer service is being
organized by the Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League, a national organization
dedicated to empowering Americans to put their pro-life convictions into
effective action in their own local communities.
