The on January 21, Father Joseph Brickner, LC, led a large group of brothers from the Novitiate and College of Humanities of the Legion of Christ in Cheshire, CT, to the “March for Life” held in the capital of the United States, Washington D.C.
H. Jacob Ringer, nLC: I have been to the “March for Life” five times, and each march has been a very peaceful and joyful experience, full of young people from all states and sometimes even from many parts of the world.
H. Anthony Norton, nLC: The march deeply moved me. Behind me, there were many members of Regnum Christi and ECYD singing, raising their hearts and voices in support of life. Life springs from God’s love, and in the face of any enemy, no matter how threatening, we can trust in His help toward victory. I value most in this event the power of our charism and our determination to ignite hearts.
H. John Paul Gregor, nLC: The “March for Life” brought a great family spirit. It unified the entire Church of the United States, especially the present Regnum Christi. Together, we gave voice to those who have none. We marched in support of the unborn and their mothers. Seeing all these people marching for life gave me much hope for the unborn. I truly believe that abortion will one day come to an end. Praise be to God for the work He has done!
H. Sterling Foley, nLC: I was deeply moved to discover that 63 million babies have died because of abortion. This is a tremendous number of human beings who never had a chance. However, there is hope. I saw it when I had the opportunity to march with my brothers and 150,000 people on a cold, freezing day in Washington, D.C., because we believe in life and that everyone should have the same opportunity to live to the fullest. I believe Jesus wants the same. That is why this issue is so important to me because I love my life, I know I matter, and I know God has a purpose for me. I want everyone else to be able to say the same.
