Ending abortion will require “prayer, personal conversion and good works,” along with a renewed focus on freedom and the sacrifice it entails, say area pro-life leaders.
Some 200 attendees gathered July 17 for the Pro-Life Union of Greater Philadelphia’s “Freedom for the Pre-Born” rally, which began with Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of SS. Peter and Paul.
In his homily, celebrant and Cathedral rector Father Dennis Gill described abortion as “the greatest evil in our day and in any day,” since it represents “a total denial of who God is and what he has done for us in making us, and in giving us the responsibility we have over life.”
