Visiting Seminaries in Nigeria, I saw that the pro-life movement was very strong. Pro-life organizers publish articles and try to touch on the topics that are relevant to the people in the area. Many of the seminarians would go out every Sunday to the parishes and talk about pro-life issues with the people. This was such a beautiful thing to see. What are we willing to do in the pro-life movement? Do we just look at it as one negative issue--abortion--or do we try to promote life? There are so many issues we can cover and help educate people on that we can be as busy as we want. Try to think of ways that you can talk to people about the pro-life movement in my area. Form a plan of 4 different topics that might help people in my area and start to learn those topics.
Sometimes we are called to help to talk to priests to help remind them that their work for life is to be on the front lines, working directly with people who are living the vocation of family. I am talking to the priests of Onitsha Diocese here.
How about organizing a conference in your parish or area? At conferences we can use many different ways to help people to understand the need for learning about life.
