Look Who’s Praying for the Walk: Carmel of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, Kensington, CA
Sr. Teresita taking her Vows, 2018
Many Contemplative Orders around the country are praying for the Walk for Life West Coast. It is a power greater than that of Presidents or Kings. Walkers, let’s always remember who has our back!
One such are the Carmelites of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph in Kensington, CA. You can visit their website and learn more about them here. From the site:
“The purpose, then of the Carmelite vocation, in a sublime and mysterious way, is nothing less than to be a co-redeemer with Christ, to save souls with Him. She offers her whole life as an immolation united to Our Lord’s sacrifice on the Cross, and by mingling her tiny actions with the infinite merits of His Passion, she draw down His redeeming grace on those for whom she prays…. all His children who live under His constant and loving gaze: priests, missionaries, families, the poor and the sick, those who as for her prayers and those who know not how to ask, so many whom, she will never meet until heaven.
Although separated from the world by high walls and double grilles, it is precisely an immense love for that same world that has impelled the Carmelite to leave all things so that in solitude she might pray and offer her life with great love to win salvation for souls, desiring that all her brothers and sisters might come to know and love that God of Love Who has so captivated her own heart.”
Sisters, words can’t tell how much your prayers mean to us.

Look Who’s Coming: Paraclete Catholic High School of Lancaster, CA!
And not for the first time! Paraclete has been sending young committed pro-lifers for years. Last year they stayed at Star of the Sea in San Francisco. This year they will stay at Saints Peter and Paul. Here they are gathered at the end of the Walk in Justin Herman Plaza:
A serious school with serious (but obviously fun-loving!) students. Check out their Ministry page.
Welcome back, Paraclete! Veni, Lumen Cordium!

Walk Speaker Abby Johnson on Mater Dei Radio!
Walk for Life West Coast speaker Abby Johnson was on Mater Dei radio a couple of times last week!
Here is one of the interviews. Abby’s segment starts at about 7:30 minutes in–and the hosts discuss how the Plenary Indulgence works!
Be There for Them!
Every year, in the Catholic Church, January 22 is designated as the Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children. From the USCCB website:
The over 56 million abortions since the 1973 decisions of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton reflect with heartbreaking magnitude what Pope Francis means by a “throwaway culture.” However, we have great trust in God’s providence. We are reminded time and again in Scripture to seek the Lord’s help, and as people of faith, we believe that our prayers are heard.
As individuals, we are called to observe this day through the penitential practices of prayer, fasting and/or giving alms. Another way to take part is through participating in special events to observe the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Call your local diocese or parish to find out what events might be taking place in your area.
Be there for them Saturday, January 26, and to allow their unborn brothers and sisters to be born! Walk for LIFE West Coast!

Look Who’s Coming to the Walk for Life West Coast! Holy Spirit Church of Fresno. Msgr. Patrick McCormick is the good pastor. And it was on their Facebook page that we came across that beautiful observation, above, which we had not seen before. A good example of how the Walk brings people together!
From Holy Spirit’s event page:
Join the Knights of Columbus and more than 50,000 pro-life walkers on January 26, 2019 for speeches, prayers, and music. It all begins at the San Francisco Civic Center Plaza, and finishes with a two-mile walk down Market Street to the Embarcadero.
Round-trip tickets to take the bus from Holy Spirit are $20 for adults and $10 for minors and seniors.
Join us as we stand up for the littlest among us.
Thanks, Holy Spirit Knights and parishioners!
