It was on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception in 1531, (then celebrated on December 9
th), that Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas and the Unborn, first appeared to St. Juan Diego. The National Night of Prayer for Life bridges these feasts. This year we also celebrate the 100th anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima who appeared to the three children in 1917. The Fatima message continues to be most relevant today! All nations of the world are invited to participate, as we ask Our Blessed Mother to protect all Life, especially the life of the Unborn, and defend the Faith, protect the Family, and establish Peace.
During the HOUR OF UNITY, 12 Midnight to 1AM EST., we will be united in churches across the country and the world in prayer to end abortion, and to restore God’s blessings.
The National Night of Prayer for Life includes adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the holy Rosary, prayer to St. Michael, silent prayer and hymns. Contact your local priests, Pro-Life Organizations, Knights of Columbus, and all parish groups and inform your friends and family of this Life-Saving event.
