The Parish of Our Lady of Sorrows – St. Anthony

invites you to join us for

A Day of Prayer & Fasting For Life

October 21, 2021

Our Lady of Sorrows Church

The parish of Our Lady of Sorrows – St. Anthony is holding a Day of Prayer & Fasting for Life on Thursday, October 3, 2019. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed all day for Adoration, so you can pray directly to Jesus in His physical, real Presence. In addition to private prayers, we will hold a series of devotions throughout the day.

9:00 AM	Mass & Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament
12:00 PM	Angelus & Rosary for an End to Abortion
2:00 PM	Pro-Life Stations of the Cross
3:00 PM	Divine Mercy Chaplet
5:30 PM	Rosary for Healing for those affected by abortion
6:00 PM	Repositioning of the Blessed Sacrament followed by the Holy Mass in Creole

All events will be held at Our Lady of Sorrows Church. We invite you to join us in prayer for those babies who have no voice, for those women who are facing an unplanned, unwanted pregnancy, and for those women who have been wounded by that difficult choice. We also ask you to pray for the elderly and the handicapped who are at risk from the new law allowing Physician-Assisted Suicide.

If you cannot come to Church you can still join us

If, because of other obligations, you cannot come to Church to pray with us there, please note the times of the various devotions, and when possible, close your door and pray with us where you are! In spirit, we will be praying together!

Strengthen our prayers by fasting

In addition to prayers, we are also asking all parishioners to fast on this day, because fasting adds strength to prayer! It doesn’t have to be a rigorous fast of bread and water all day, but please fast from something you enjoy and would normally have during the day.

The Culture of Death is still ascendant in our country and the world. But we can make a difference, with God’s help.
