Hope in Adoration

The Good Counsel Network’s funds are dangerously low. They offer expectant mums help with housing, financial assistance, legal, and medical support, baby goods and clothes, advice, and ongoing support long after the baby is born.
If they run out of funds, they cannot continue to help dozens of mothers keep a roof over their heads.

Monthly National Days of Prayer and Fasting for Life
A great prayer for life is urgently needed. Please pray and fast for the end of abortion and euthanasia. Your prayer and fasting is urgently needed.
- Fasting: Fast from all food except bread and water for the day or fast from a particular food or luxury, e.g. chocolate, alcohol, cigarettes or TV. Fast from whatever you can given your state of health etc, but make sure it is something that involves a sacrifice to yourself.
- Prayer: We are asking people to say a Rosary (or an extra Rosary if you say it daily already). You could also offer an extra effort such as going to Mass (or an extra Mass) on the day, or going to Adoration. You can even pray before a closed tabernacle if Adoration is not available near you.
For information on the days of Prayer and Fasting see this link.
