In addition to prayer, priests and seminarians are called to be leaders in their parishes and local communities, especially with regard to life issues. And an important part of leadership is visibility.

There are many ways that priest can be visible in the pro-life movement. One of them is by helping out at the local CPC (Crisis Pregnancy Centers). Saying Mass (see pics below) at CPC's has been very rewarding for me and for the staff who invite me. Another way to be visible is to pray with community members in front of abortuaries.

Of course the most important thing we can do is prayer. Pray for the babies, pray for the mothers, but also pray for the fathers, the abortionist, and the politicians and jurists whose decisions and policy so gravely affect the innocent. We need to turn to prayer.
