October What A Month!

October is one of my favorite months of the year.  There is so much going on.  We are in the heart of football season from pee wee through NFL.  The lovely smells of tailgating in the air.  The race for the world series is coming together.  People are raising awareness for cancer, especially breast cancer.  It is finally getting cool enough to start hanging out outside without losing 5lbs of water weight.  However, the most important things that I love about the month of October is that the month is dedicated to Respect Life and the Rosary.  Does life get any better then babies and the Blessed Mother?  I think not.  They definitely go hand in hand when you think about it.  One of the best ways to prayer for the Pro-Life movement is through the Rosary.   

With the Rosary in mind I want to take notice to the video above.  It is a great video, just check it out.  It has a purpose don't worry.  I think when looking at the end it makes one heck of a shirt idea!  What a simple, but bold statement "I PRAY THE ROSARY."  Praying the Rosary for me personally has helped my life so much that it is irreplaceable in my prayer life.  The Blessed Mother is beyond amazing!  Here is a link on how to say the rosary, along with all the mysteries....you should try it out sometime and see for yourself.

We have an amazing opportunity in our grasp this respect life month.  Baton Rouge is having its first annual 40 Days for Life campaign.  This is a campaign that allows people from across Baton Rouge to visit the Goodwood Delta Abortion Clinic and pray outside of it.  This campaign has people at the Delta Clinic everyday for 40 days from 7am-7pm on September 28-November 6.   The power of prayer does amazing wonders for people inside and outside the clinic.  Just last Thursday they had 3 women outside of the clinic change there mind in to keeping their child.  What an amazing gift.  It is a true witness of the power of prayer.  
Next Wednesday, October 12 St. George has adopted the entire day to stand outside of the clinic.  I have decided to sign the youth group up from 5-6pm on that day.  So it would be awesome if we could have the entire youth group out there working the beads of the Rosary in honor of the Blessed Mother in intercession for everyone that is involved with the Delta Clinic.  Also, if you are unable to make it or would like to sign up to take an hour any time/day of the campaign you can get information right here at the 40 Days for Life Website 

October is amazing month.  Why not making it better in partaking praying the Rosary and maybe giving up some of your personal time for the 40 Days for Life campaign.  It would just simply make the month better then what it is already turning out to be.
