In this time of increased division, strife and disease, we should pay closer attention to our Lord's admonition to the people of Israel in Deuteronomy 30:19:
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live
The Respect Life Team of St. Bernard/St. Mary is renewing our call to parishioners to join us every First Saturday of the month to pray the Rosary, calling on Mary to intercede for us and our country that has been deceived to choose death and its inherent curse. Pray for God's intervention and mercy to turn us back to him who is Life! Generally, we meet for an hour in front of the abortion center at 2127 State Road in Cuyahoga Falls across from the PNC Bank between 11 and 12, though you may come as early as 8 a.m. and stay for the period of time to which you feel called. Bring a mask. You can stand a distance from one another. The more of us who attend, the greater the power of prayer and witness to the community! Thank you for responding to the Lord's call to step into the breach and intercede for the helpless and those lost in the darkness of sin!
