The pandemic has interfered with many things in our lives. Some of the things we cannot do now, many times, go unnoticed by us or we can do without, i.e., going to a restaurant, the theater, visiting friends, etc.
On Friday, an important event will take place in Washington, D.C., that has drawn hundreds of thousands â the March for Life. Prior to the March a Mass is celebrated at the cathedral in Washington, which is so inspiring. People of all ages, creeds and ethnicity gather there and join in the Mass celebrated by bishops, cardinals, and priests from all over the United States. Even our Orthodox brethren take part in this celebration. Then a massive march takes place the next day, which is very solemn, with people carrying banners and drums playing up to the Capitol building, hoping that the scourge of abortion will become a thing of the past. As a Democrat, I am very disheartened when the party talks about a âwomanâs right to choose.â Once a life has been conceived the woman does not have the right to choose, as one of the prayers we say at the abortion clinic with Father Tim, âwe are not talking about a life that is coming into the world but one that is already in the world.â
