Christianity is always called to seek justice, but it bears within the
impulse of love, that goes beyond justice itself.”
Pope Benedict XVI
“A great
prayer for life is urgently needed…prayer and fasting are
the first and most
effective weapons against the forces of evil.”
Pope John Paul II, The
Gospel of Life
The Helpers are an international
pro-life group founded by Msgr.
Philip Reilly under the direction of Cardinal
John O’ Connor and Bishop Thomas Daily of New York. Its main apostolate is
prayer at abortion sites. To date, 5 Cardinals and more than 100 Bishops have
participated in the Helpers large prayer vigils in the USA.
For you
created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are
wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I
was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the
earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.All the days
ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
(Psalm 139:13-16)
