Pro-Life Pumpkins

by | Oct 21, 2009 | All Hallows Eve | 3 comments

I was so excited when I saw this awesome pumpkin carving earlier today, sort of like our Saint-O-Lanterns, from American Life League:

There are many opportunities to be a voice for the voiceless, and most of those opportunities require us to go to a public place. But, on the eve of All Saints Day, the public comes to us!

So, make a pro-life jack-o-lantern and send your photos to us. Be sure to include your name, age and address in the e-mail, and we’ll post the best ones on our home page!

It doesn’t have to be anything fancy. It could be as intricate as the design here or as simple as the word “Pro-Life.” Whatever your skill level, be creative and tell the world about the personhood of preborn babies!

You can even download the template here!

    This is great! The last few years at our previous parish-they had a 100 pumpkins for life on Halloween with crosses carved out and all on the front steps of our Church. It was amazing and so very inspiring!!!
    This sounds like another great idea!
    God bless,
    Mary

    I can wait to go buy the punkins and carve them out. I had been thinking of doing this but I did not want to do the traditional scary lantern, but now that I read your post, I will do this every year. I definately doing the pro-life lantern. One of of our Lady of Guadalupe, and I will let the kids choice their own Saint or Jesus icon. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
