What Should Pro-Lifers Do?
A Message from CoR Founder, Katherine Sabelko


A Message For Every Priest

Dear Father,

I heard a wonderful homily on the sacredness of life recently. God bless this priest because he actually used the word "abortion." You probably know that there are not many priests who will bring the topic up in a homily, even on Life Sunday.

I realize it is hard. I have talked to so many priests who tell stories of angry, outraged women who scream at them if they do mention abortion. I know of men who tell you it's none of your business if they use birth control. I know the verbal punishment you could face for being the shepherd of your flock.

And though it is hard to bring up abortion in your homily, please consider it this January, as we look back again at the Roe vs. Wade decision. There will be young women who are planning to have an abortion within days. There will be women who are totally stunned because they have just found out they are pregnant and they don't know what to do. And when you talk about the sacredness of life and the horror of abortion, they will be listening.

Let them hear your words of compassion for their fear, their crisis situation. Let these women know that they aren't bad, just in a place where they need the help of others. List names of crisis centers in your town where they can go for help. Let them know they can talk to you about it before they make any decision.

People who are not directly involved in fighting abortion have little knowledge of the torment a girl or woman will go through for the rest of her life - if she has the abortion.

Perhaps beginning a group that will oversee donations to crisis pregnancy centers will remind the parishioners of the compassion we must show to others in crisis.

And Father, the women who are so upset about bringing up the topic of abortion at Mass probably need your help. So many women still carry great guilt for what they have done. They need to know that they have to confess the sin to begin to heal. There will be men who have been involved with abortions, paying for them or encouraging someone to have their baby aborted. These fathers suffer greatly from guilt, but, in a silent world because no one will talk about it.

Father, if you find that people or another priest will try to discourage you from talking about abortion and the help that is available, about the need to go to the sacrament of Reconciliation, ignore them. Just remember, we are on the street, in front of abortion mills, praying for the babies and the mothers. We are praying for you too Father, for you are our shepherd. The shepherd will leave the 99 and go find the one that is lost. That one who is lost is the woman who will or has aborted her baby.

On behalf of the babies,

Katherine Sabelko
