A Hidden Life - Is now available for rental on Amazon Prime, etc.
An extraordinary film. Inspired by true events. An Austrian farmer refuses to take the oath to AH during WWII, akin to St. Thomas More. It is a Terrance Malik film, beautifully made, thus it is good to get you through an entire evening because it’s 3:40 minutes long!
Here’s a link to a review:

40 Days for Life - The current 40 Days for Life campaign runs from February 26 (Ash Wednesday) thru April 5(Palm Sunday). In Richmond, a second Planned Parenthood facility is projected to open at 1122 N. 25th street in the coming months. The leadership team of 40 Days for Life has decided to pray at both locations, including the current location of 201 N. Hamilton St. A peaceful vigil of prayer will be held from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. each of these 40 days. If you are able, please sign up to pray for an hour at the vigil. Given our proximity, St. Bridget would be focusing on the N. Hamilton St. location. For more information, please visit www.40DaysforLife.com or email lovethemboth.40@gmail.com
If you are not able to pray at the location itself, please consider devoting an hour of prayer in support of the mission of the 40 Days for Life campaign by attending the regularly scheduled Adoration and Benediction being held at St. Bridget every Tuesday evening from 5:30-8:00 p.m.
Dear Jesus, we believe you are truly present in each consecrated Host. Please pour your blessings upon the 40 Days for Life prayer vigil. Strengthen each of us, as we work and pray for an end to abortion. Please heal and reconcile all who have been touched by abortion. Give us the wisdom and resources to help pregnant mothers choose life. Inspire conversion of hearts and minds, that all will come to recognize the dignity and humanity of the unborn child.
Our Lady of Guadelupe, patroness of the pro-life cause, we humbly seek your motherly guidance and prayerful intercession. Amen.
