In the fight against abortion, it is crucial to recognize the reality of evil and the importance of prayer, Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York said on the eve of the annual March for Life.
The power of evil in the world, he said, is "stronger than any in creation save one, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who called Himself 'the way, the truth, and the life.'"
"That's why we come to this place of prayer to commence our project, a home the powers of darkness are scared of, a house where Mary is our Mother, where Jesus dwells, and where we are with family," he said. "We come to admit realistically that there are powers of darkness in a culture Pope Francis calls 'throwaway' and St. John Paul termed 'of death.'"
Cardinal Dolan delivered the homily at the Jan. 18 Mass of the Vigil for Life, which took place at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.
