Tales from the
streets of Tampa: Pray-by-pray 4-27-13
Christopher Gladu Heading out to the abortion mill to
offer life to those who are looking for an excuse to choose it -we will have
the Catholic Charities Mobile Medical bus with Nurse Barb on it offering
pregnancy tests and ultrasound right next to the mill. Pray that the Holy
Spirit will give us the words to reach those with ears to hear, faith comes by
hearing (Romans 10:17)
Pray along with us here as we attempt to minister in Christ's name. Consider also what God may be calling you to do to build the kingdom of life - perhaps it’s not this - there are many ways to serve that are far less dramatic.
Mathew 16:18-19 is known to us Catholics as it talks about how Jesus commissioned Peter as the first Pope " And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. 19l I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Let us also consider this as commissioning us the Church to take Christ out to the dark places because gates are for defense, so Jesus is also telling us that the forces of anti-life will not prevail when the Church is on offense.
Offense. Rather than sitting in our Churches we are to bring our rosaries and prayer books and the scriptures out into the world where evil is and overcome it with Christ's love. It means not always being silent, but speaking up for what is good and holy...like innocent babies.
