New Year's Resolutions?

It's that time of year, when we're taking stock of the year just past and contemplating some improvements and/or embellishments to our lives.  Those who've read this blog for some time may have gleaned my pro-life sentiments, so what I suggest should be no surprise.  Our civilization is going to hell in a hand basket.  We need more Catholics and people of good will to step up to the plate.

That said, here are some pro-life-oriented suggestions:

• Get out to your local abortion mill on a regular, committed basis to pray.  How about a minimum of once a month for an hour or so?  Please join with a pro-life presence already there, or bring a friend; never go alone.  Consider participating in 40 Days for Life nearby.
• Write a "letter to the editor" when abortion and/or gay-related issues arise in your community.  Be a voice for truth.
• If you have a solid candidate running for elected office, support him/her with your time: lit drops, phone banks, parade-walking, etc.
• Join or start a pro-life group at your church.

Of course this list is by no means exhaustive.  You probably have a few of your own.  Feel free to share them via the comment box.
