A new "David" to slay the "giant"...

This reflection was sent to us by Jerry Klazura. We just had to share it with you!

...All over the USA today - the call is for Penance for the terrible sin of abortion, and a Prayer for restoration of legal protection of the right to life. The old testament reading today is from Samuel - where the Lord selected young David from Jesse's sons to be future king. That is where we are today in pro-life. There are many "David's" being selected. One "David" is the 20 year old lady who has initiated and organized the Personhood amendment. Another "David" is my senior citizen friend Bob who just recently started to think, meditate and pray about the abortion situation for the first time in his life. He decided to do something - and has already collected 600 signatures for the Personhood amendment at his church and at Walmart. Another "David" is Michele who is stepping out in faith to organize the Colorado Springs interdenominational prayer and fast and community out reach for life.

I am sensing a slow emerging from the body of Christ toward pro-life - FINALLY! They are waking up from their deep slumber. Some time in the future - the many new "Davids" will be loading a stone into their slings, and the Abortion giant will finally be slain!

As I listened to Bishop Sheridan at Mass today talk about Penance and Prayer - I thought of Penance and Prayer - P and P .... hmmm how interesting the new PP (Prayer and Penance) will replace the old pp (planned parenthood).

Praise God!

Hooray! For all of us "Davids"! By the way, since I live very (too?) close to PP, I noticed the other night while coming home with my wife that the lights are burned out on the PP sign, and so at night, it simply says "Parenthood". How ironic! And funny in a cosmic way. Cheers!
