While the world is increasingly caught up in the quest for pleasure and hedonism, we have become inured to the reality of an evil unprecedented in the history of humanity – legalized abortion.

Abortion is the murder of the innocent, a sin crying out to Heaven for vengeance.   We are defying the laws of our Creator!   The extent of this veritable holocaust to the powers of evil is difficult to comprehend: over 50 million helpless victims world-wide every year.

South Africa is now on this same course. Let us storm Heaven for mercy from God so that more enlightened knowledge prevails with the most powerful means we have at our disposal, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!

Under the patronage of Our Lady of Guadalupe you are asked to have a Mass offered annually on the date of your birth, which will ensure that frequent Masses will be said for all babies threatened by abortion in this country.

If you would like to participate in this crusade, please give your name, address, telephone No, as well as your day and month of birth. We will send you a timely reminder to arrange with a priest to have your Mass offered.

The stipend payable should be arranged with your priest.  You can, if you wish, state as the intention of the Mass ‘for all babies threatened by abortion and their mothers’, or, ‘for the right of children to be born’ or ‘for the conversion of mothers considering abortion, abortion providers and the Government’ or similar.

Just as Holy Mary of Guadalupe extinguished human sacrifice in the Aztec world of the sixteenth century, standing for life and offering the abundant new life won by the self-sacrifice of her Son, so too can she be importuned to end the sacrifice of millions of babies in our own world to-day.   It is altogether appropriate that she become the focus of our prayers on behalf of these innocents.
