Sidewalk Advocates for Life Training

Are you interested in a peaceful, prayerful method of reaching out to wom-en and men entering the abortion facility and encouraging them to choose life? If so, Sidewalk Advocates for Life training is for you! This new "sidewalk counseling" program employs a compassionate, woman-centered approach to take the crisis out of crisis pregnancies and thereby save babies' lives. This is not about judging women: the program focuses instead on extending Christ's love through education, conversation, and practical help (i.e. connecting women to local pregnancy centers for further support). The next two-day training session will be held at Immaculate Conception Church in Goose Creek on Friday, January 29th, from 6:30 to 10 PM and Saturday, January 30th, from 1 PM to 5 PM. Registration (payable at the door) is $15 and includes course materials and refreshments. The only pre-requisites are a humble desire to reach out in love and a willingness to do-nate two hours a month of volunteer outreach time "on the sidewalk" at the abortion clinic after training is completed. To register, please email SAFLCharleston@gmail.com. More information on the Sidewalk Advocates for Life program can also be found at side-walkadvocates.org. To register, please email SAFLCharleston@gmail.com. More information on the Sidewalk Advocates for Life program can also be found at sidewalkadvocates.org.

We have often maintained that there is a stewardship mes-sage in every reading from Holy Scripture. Today’s readings are no exception, from the reminder that “God rejoices in each of us” to “To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit” from St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians to the Gospel story about the miracle at the wedding in Cana as reported in John. Although each of those messages is worthy of our thought, meditation, and reflection, we would like to focus on a particular line in St. John’s Gospel, a statement which literally says it all about stewardship as a way of life. Our Blessed Mother Mary says quite simply, “Do whatever He tells you.” Her message for those gathered at the wedding and her message for us is the same. The whole purpose of our lives is to seek and ascertain what it is that the Lord is telling us. We all understand that is not easy, and for many of us becomes a lifelong quest. Yet, that is exactly what Mary says to us, and it is exactly what we need to do. Through pray-er and discernment each of us must try to discover what the Lord is “telling” us. That requires prayer on our part; it means we have to listen more than speak; and it means we need to identify, recognize, and use our gifts.
