October 8 ~ Respect Life Month

UNITY is praying for one another

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.  ~ Matthew 18:20

I was taking my usual morning walk when a garbage truck pulled up beside me.
I thought the driver was going to ask for directions.  Instead, he showed me a picture of a cute little five-year-old boy.
“This is my grandson, Jeremiah,” he said. “He’s on a life-support system at a Phoenix hospital.”
Thinking he would next ask for a contribution to his hospital bills, I was about to reach for my wallet.  But he wanted something more than money. He said, “I’m asking everybody I can to say a prayer for him. Would you say one for him, please?”
I did.  And my problems didn’t seem like much that day.  ~ Author unknown

Has our council underestimated the power of prayer when confronting those who disrespect Life?

Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds something new to his life, something with which nothing can be compared.  ~ Mahatma Gandhi
