The USCCB has some Lenten suggestions for those frustrated with the slow progress in overturning Roe v. Wade. From the National Catholic Register:
Instead of grumbling, would it not make more sense to make a Lenten commitment to light one (or hundreds) of the thousands of candles waiting to be lit? Support or undertake one of the many proven ways we can help save children’s lives now which also will help create conditions that will move the Court to topple the already decaying framework of Roe.
The U.S. Catholic bishops’ Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities provides a blueprint for pro-life activities at every level of the Church. The campaign to end abortion and promote the dignity of life at every stage involves four vital approaches: prayer, education, pastoral care and public advocacy.
While you’re praying, fasting and giving alms this Lent in preparation for the hope-filled death and Resurrection of our Lord, remember those who are at risk of not having the chance to ever celebrate the wonderful Easter season this side of eternity.
