Fight Abortion during Lent--through prayer and "Red Envelope Day"

Joseph Farah, in his commentary today from "Between the Lines," reminds those who want to fight abortion to join the effort, "Red Envelope Day."

This campaign and its timing during Lent, I believe, is very much in keeping with the penance we owe God due to our grievous sin as a nation--the abortion of over 50 million of our sons and daughters.


In the words of the founder of Red Envelope Day, Christ Otto, who is joined in the effort by Brian Potter, in answer to the question Why red?: "The envelopes represent the innocent blood shed through abortion, and the plea for the blood of Jesus over the sin of our nation. This campaign is a symbolic act to flood the mail with red."

Please see a video from Brian Potter, at RedEnvelopeDay.com, with directions on how to participate.

As for prayer, I'd recommend from Fumare, the following extremely powerful prayer to end abortion.

One small correction, Christ Otto was the founder, Brian came along a few weeks later and we did join forces.

Thank you for emphasizing prayer.

Just to let you know, I was relying on the following sentence in paragraph 2 on page http://belonginghouse.org/wordpress/?page_id=125, which states that, "Although that date was chosen arbitrarily by Brian Potter when he created Red Envelope Day..." The impression left in this sentence is that Brian Potter created Red Envelope Day. Further on in the same paragraph it states that, "I joined with the Red Envelope Day effort because it had the most momentum, and Brian Potter was in communication with me." Again, the impression left is that you joined the Red Envelope Day effort after the fact.

Anyway, I thank you heartily for your campaign. Thanks also for making me aware of a needed correction. I've edited accordingly. God bless you.
