2010 Hawaii and March for Life

Many, many people attended this years March for Life at the Hawaii State Capitol.  Just like the March for Life in D.C., there were more young people than ever before, standing up for life.  Here are some photos from the rally and March.

These are the luminaries placed around the capitol which represented a child murdered by abortion.

 

Hawaii's own bishop and his vicar general Father Marc Alexander were there to speak out for life.  Also featured in the photo below are Dennis Arakiki of Hawaii Family Forum, Karen DiCostanzo, President of Hawaii Right to Life and doctor/singer Malie Lee.

 

It was most fitting that the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe be present at the March for Life. She is after all, the patroness of the unborn. Thank you Venny and Jessica Villapando for bringing both images to the Rally and March.

This colorful image of Venerable John Paul II kneeling in front of Our Lady of Guadalupe's image was brought back by Venny and Jessica when they returned home from the canonization of Saint Juan Diego.

The following are some of the profound messages found at the Rally and March.

 

 

The following are photos taken on the march itself.

 

 

Come to Washington to tell Congress: NO abortion in health care!

Hawaii residents: Please be sure to attend the annual March for Life at the State Capitol this Friday, January 22nd. 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

Stand up for Life!!

Pray to End Abortion - 35th Anniversary of the Legalization of Murder

Our Lady of Guadalupe
Protectress of the Unborn

Listen, put it int your heart, my smallest child that the thing that frightened you,
the thing that afflicted you is nothing:
Do not let it disturb you...
Am I not here, I who am your mother?
Are you not under my shadow and protection!
Am I not the source of your joy?
Are you not in the hollow of my mantle,
in the crossing of my arms?
Do you need something more?
- Our Lady of Guadalupe 1531

"A child of God who is helpless and trusting boundlessly in His mercy has the power of the Creator Himself at his disposal."
-S.C. Biela, In the Arms of Mary

From In the Arms of Mary
Please pray to end abortion.

Please pray for the people marching for life in Washington, D.C. EWTN is covering it live

Remember today, January 22nd is a day of pray and fasting.
Jean has the details

Later today, my family will join hundreds of pro-life folks at the Hawaii State Capitol for the annual March and Rally for Life. Please pray that our appearance will change the harden hearts of our legislators and politicians.
