The MARCH ROSARY FOR LIFE SPECIAL

PRAYER INTENTION is for women who have

had an abortion, and for their families and anyone

affected by it. “Project Rachel, the Catholic Church’s ministry to

those who have been involved in abortion, is a dioce-san-based network of specially trained priests, reli-

gious, counselors, and laypersons who provide a team response of care for those suffering in the aftermath of abortion. In addition to referring for Sacramental Rec-onciliation, the ministry provides an integrated network

of services, including pastoral counseling, support groups, retreats, and referrals to licensed mental health

professionals. Confidential, non-judgmental help is available” (USCCB). For further info, Project Rachel’s national toll-free number is 888-456-HOPE (4673) or

visit HopeAfterAbortion. com. Let us pray that they will seek God’s forgiveness and healing graces, and will

also come to forgive themselves.
