Education: Hurricane Harvey has brought such an immense scale of destruction it is hard to fathom. So many who were spared damage are reaching out with donations and volunteer efforts. But the need is so great it is hard to imagine. Please pray for all who suffered loss, that their needs will be met, and for the recovery efforts to be effective in helping individuals and families return to a safe and secure home.

Pregnant women who were already vulnerable to the temptation to abort may have more reason than ever to make that choice if they suffered loss from Harvey. So it is important that efforts to help women to choose life by offering information, practical help and emotional support, continue. We thank God that the Pregnancy Resource Medical Center of Fort Bend, located in Rosenberg, was not damaged, and is resuming normal hours.
Another way to help women choose life is with prayer outside abortion facilities. A peaceful, loving presence, offering women hope to find an alternative to abortion, can help women to avoid a terrible mistake. Many women coming to abortion facilities are open to alternatives and welcome the help offered. (See the book
40 Days for Life, by David Bereit and Shawn Carney, for many stories.) Hundreds of thousands of people have participated in 40 Days for Life campaigns, which have saved over 13,000 babies from abortion since 2007. On Thursday, Sep 14, Marie McCoy will be giving a presentation about
Prayer outside Abortion Clinics. The presentation will begin at 7:30 pm, at St. Luke’s Room at St. Francis de Sales church, 8200 Roos Rd, Houston TX 77036 (Sharpstown). Learn all about legal and safety issues, and why it is so valuable. Have your questions answered.

Organizations involved in collecting funds for continuing recovery efforts include: Catholic Charities Houston (CatholicCharities.org), and Center for Disaster Philanthropy (disasterphilanthropy.networkforgood.com). Consider coming to the presentation on September 14 to learn about the great value of prayer outside abortion facilities. Invite friends to join you. |
