Kansas City, Kan., May 12, 2010 / 01:06 am
For the third year in a row, Kansas City, Kansas Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann and Kansas City – St. Joseph Bishop Robert W. Finn joined hundreds in praying the Rosary outside the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Overland Park, Kansas. About 400 people prayed all 20 Mysteries of the Rosary led by the two bishops on May 8.
The Mother’s Day weekend Rosary began in 2008 and is sponsored by Lifefront. One goals of the organization is to recruit enough people to make a prayerful witness during each hour the Planned Parenthood facility is open for abortions. The annual Rosary is an important tool in that recruiting effort. This year saw more than 100 additional participants over last.
New to this year’s event, a specific prayer for the closing of the clinic was recited after the Rosary. Lifefront organizers distributed the prayer on cards and encourage its recitation at home:
