I was very happy to see the March for Life 2015 theme is “Every Life is a Gift.”
They are addressing the challenging prenatal journey when families are given a poor prenatal diagnosis, highlighting the trisomy experience and many pressures put upon women and families to abort these unique babies.

Pray with the Bishops to End Abortion 
On January 22 our nation will mark the 42nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal throughout the U.S.
Since that tragic decision, more than 56 million children's lives have been lost to abortion, and many suffer that loss -- often in silence. 
Join thousands of Catholics across the country coming together in prayer for a "culture of life" from Saturday, January 17 -  Sunday, January 25!

The Rite for the Blessing of the Child in the Womb can be done by a priest or deacon and is available in English and Spanish.  The Rite opens with readings of the Visitation, the Annunciation, the prophecy of Sarah’s conception of Isaac, or other similar readings.  It includes a blessing for the mother to “grant her comfort in all anxiety and make her determined to lead her child along the ways of salvation,” the text reads.  And there is a blessing for the father to “grant him courage in this new responsibility and make him an example of justice and truth for this child.”  An excerpt of the blessing reads:  Click for PDF (English and Spanish)
