Due to Tier 4 restrictions our 2021 Lenten 40 DAYS FOR LIFE peaceful prayer and fasting vigil at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow was postponed. Sadly, in the midst of this current situation the government did not halt or restrict its abortion culture of death. On March 23rd 2021 the government called for a UK National Day of Reflection to be held for those who had died from Covid the previous year. According to latest official figures at that time there had been 143,259 Covid deaths. The following month April 2021 we marked the 53rd anniversary of the implementation of the 1967 Abortion Act which has resulted in almost 9.5million deaths of our unborn children here in the UK. Think of the unborn when you pray the words ‘For what I have done and for what I have failed to do’. Think of those words in the ballot box. ‘They will not grow old as we who are left grow old but we will remember them.’ St. Cadoc’s Parish has always supported 40 DAYS FOR LIFE, the prayer and fasting vigil which usually takes place in Lent each year at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. It was not possible in Lent this year for obvious reasons. Lasty year’s vigil was also cut short. As a result a “20 DAYS FOR LIFE” vigil is being planned for June this year at the QEUH site. It starts on 1 June 2021 at 8 am. This is the feast of Mary, Mother of the Church. It will run from 8am until 8 pm each day and will finish at 8pm on 20 June. If you are able to support this venture and perhaps take a weekly slot please let Lesley Ward know ([email protected] or 07910266821). The parish have usually given support on a Sunday over the last 5 years but participants are needed for every day this year, including Sunday. *RIGHT TO LIFE: Links via which you can register your views on current concerns: It only takes 30 seconds using the easy tool provided: Genocide Response campaign website https://righttolife.org.uk/StopAssistedSuicide www.righttolife.org.uk/FetalPainMotion www.standupandsmile.org.uk Care Not Killing 'We need to improve how we care for people, not kill them.'
