In October of 2008, after serving three years as a Naval Officer, I was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. This blog chronicles my pilgrimage through life and towards the Roman Catholic priesthood.

A Great Witness
Seminarians from the Pontifical College Josephinum wearing their house cassocks (which identify them with their particular seminary), and praying outside of an abortion clinic:
Wow! This moves me in a way that I cannot express with words. I'm going to print off this photo and take these men of God before the Blessed Sacrament weekly.
Free at last, free at last thank God Almighty, FREE AT LAST! TO all the young priests who are rescuing the Faith from the Progressive agenda, my heartfelt thanks . After 40 yrs of lies and heartache I can now die in peace with a smile on my face! I agree with Father Zuhlsdorf, OORAH!
It really is amazing. It is hard to believe this is the same seminary that I flew from, with my faith barely intact, two decades ago. What a difference twenty years, and the heavy influence of Midwestern Catholicism, can make on an institution! Deo gratias!
Actually, David, there is a heavy dose of Pittsburgh Catholicism in the mix there since the now-almost-former Rector there was responsible both for the initiative of bring back the Pont. Cassocks and the seminary-wide Rosary in front of the abortuary.
To all: your prayers are most appreciated and needed.
Great witness....Yes, the New Springtime is slowly building... one day the tipping point will hit and abortion will be history.. Praise God for these young men!
Praise God!!!, and Thank You Lord for touching Your Sons to move them to witness so beautifully.
Funny I was just there last week driving through the Midwest with my husband to see a doctor and I am actively involved with Pro-Life, and was wondering how it is around said area. Now I know!!!
I also agree with the statement or rather quetion I wonder what and "I regret my abortion" or "I regret lost Fatherhood", signs from Silent NO More Awareness Campaign witnesses would achieve as well. I am one of those who is post-abortive and would love to have more Priests come down to the abortion Mill I witness and pray Rosaries at every day almost in Ottawa, Ont. Canada. This gives me hope !

You remain in my prayers Philip.
This is awesome. We just need a postabortive man or woman in between each one - I wonder what that would do?

Amazing!!!
With all those Rosaries being said,
the abortion clinic will soon be shut.
Wowsers, that rocks, y'all!
For every Priest there is a prayer in our heart and our loving God Who hears and receives it. Thank you, Lord.
Simply amazing! <3 Thank you!
Where is this please?
Does anyone know where they abortion clinic was?
Wonderful. Praise God.
I don't know exactly where it was, but the seminary is in Columbus, OH...so it had to be somewhere nearby.
Diane, It was probably the one on Cleveland Ave. Near the Byz. Catholic Church, North of downtown.

Here is a page from the Josephinum's site.

To God be the Glory!
It is great to see that the Faith is reaffirmed with action. Especially with that the Monsignor is front and center.
