What is the Day of Prayerful Remembrance & Intercession?
The truth that the wounds of abortion impact each of us in our respective communities manifests itself anew and in an ever more vigorous way far beyond those directly involved in the act of abortion itself. Whether it be one’s co-worker, one’s neighbor, friend, relative, fellow parishioner, – we have all been affected by the loss of each child aborted and the often hidden suffering of their post-abortive parents.
An Afternoon of Prayerful Remembrance and Intercession (APRI) is, as its name suggests, a prayer service created in the spirit of the New Evangelization, for the entire local community. Acknowledging abortion’s universal impact through reflections and testimonies offered as part of the day, the prayer service offers the opportunity for all of us to come together in an extended period of prayer, contemplation, and intercession in the context of the Church’s Sacraments, seeking forgiveness and healing for our entire nation. This day of prayer includes an opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, a period of silent Eucharistic Adoration, and concludes with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
