IN an effort to promote a culture of life, love and peace as well as give voice to the voiceless aborted babies whose chance to life has been snuffed out prematurely because of abortion, ProLife Philippines Foundation, Inc. is commemorating a “Day of the Unborn” on March 25.
The annual event has been conceived by Pro-Life Philippines to create deeper awareness among the public of the evils of abortion and put a stop on the practice.
In a press release, ProLife said the activity is also a way expressing grief for the innocent aborted babies who never had the chance to see “the splendor of God’s creation,” and “never felt the warmth of their mother’s embrace and father’s protection.”
It also hopes the occasion would “serve as an awakening to those who view abortion as a way out of pregnancy instead of a blessing of a new life.”
On March 24, the eve of commemoration, a “Light a Candle for Life Ceremony” will be held at the Monument for the Unborn, in Plaza Miranda fronting Quiapo Church. The activity will begin after the 6 p.m. Mass at the Basilica of the Black Nazarene.
Earlier, Archbishop Paciano Aniceto, Chair of the Episcopal Commission on Family and Life, has issued a letter to dioceses all over the country to encourage their parishes to celebrate the Day of the Unborn on March 25.
Pro-Life Philippines urged the public to join the event and offer their prayers in memory of the babies who never had the choice to be born.
“The increasing rate of abortion today has become a path towards moral decadence and devastating psycho-spiritual effects on the lives of the aborted women, the men involved, and the abortion providers,” it further said.
