Incarnation Catholic Church

40 Days for Life is an internationally-coordinated 40-day peaceful pro-life campaign to end abortion. Vigil for Life will host a spring 40 Days for Life campaign this year from Wednesday, February 22 through Sunday, April 2, 2023. Our vigil hours will cover from 7a.m. – 7 p.m., Monday – Saturday during this time.
 

Prayer and Fasting

Want to end abortion? First you pray. Prayer is at the center of 40 Days for Life. During the February 22 – April 2 campaign, people of faith across the nation will join together on their knees before the Lord, asking Him to hear our plea and heal our land. Pray at church. Pray outside an abortion facility or abortion referral center. Pray at work. Pray in the car. Pray at home with your family. Pray!

People of faith are also invited to fast throughout 40 Days for Life. Christ said there are some demons that can only be driven out by prayer and fasting. A fast is not a Christian diet; it is a powerful means of drawing closer to God by blocking out distractions. Fast from food. Fast from alcohol. Fast from television. Fast from e-mail. Fast from apathy and indifference. Fast from any form of excess. Fast from whatever it is that separates you from God.

Below are two kinds of fasting options:
 

 

Peaceful Vigil

The visible, public centerpiece of 40 Days for Life is the 40-day-long prayer vigil that will be held outside the local Planned Parenthood abortion facility (3706 Orin Road, Madison, WI 53704).

The prayer vigil is a peaceful and educational presence that will send a powerful message to our entire community about the tragic reality of abortion. It also serves as a call to repentance for those who work at this abortion referral center and those who patronize the facility.
 

Community Outreach

During 40 Days for Life, the pro-life message will be proactively taken to every possible corner of a community through a focused, grassroots educational effort.
 

• Get your church involved: meet with local pastors, other church leaders, and members of different congregations. The Body of Christ is invited to pray together and participate in 40 Days for Life, uniting in one focused mission that can save lives and make an eternal impact.
• Reach out to the media. The pro-life message will be spread through carefully targeted news stories, talk shows, editorials, and letters to the editor. This enables the pro-life message to reach many people who would never see the inside of a local church.
