Dear Pro-Life Mississippi Supporters and Volunteers,
The days before we celebrate the birth of Our Savior provide a wonderful opportunity for Christians to contemplate our salvation history. Let us recall that Christ was born into a world that had no room for Him. Christ was born into a world uninvited. It is precisely because of this that His place is with those who are discredited--those who are denied the status of persons. They too are uninvited and their parents can find no room for them.
In preparing for Christmas let us remember that the Messiah comes to restore harmony between nations, people, and even animals ("Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb.... the baby shall play by the cobra's den"), and as people of the Messiah we must repent of whatever destroys that harmony. The Messiah comes to bring justice. As His people we must work to eliminate injustice. Isaiah 11 tells us that this justice is an act of intervention to save the helpless. The "Spirit of the Lord" which rests on the Messiah and likewise on His people, leads us to and
prepares us for the work of justice.
Abortion is an injustice against the most helpless, and attacks the harmony of human relationships at their most fundamental and sensitive point--the relationship of mother and child. Preparing for the Lord's coming therefore requires a total rejection of abortion. The promise of His coming heralds a new harmony between mother and child. Let us focus on the Virgin and Child as we approach Christmas day, the day that we celebrate the birth of our Savior - the day that God joined His nature to ours.
In order to find Christ during this season, let us stand with those children slated to be sacrificed on the altar of abortion. Let us follow the star of truth and present that truth to men and women at the abortion clinic. Let us bring the Church that Jesus Christ established to one place in the state of Mississippi devoid of the truth of Our Savior, Jesus Christ-the last abortion clinic in Mississippi.
He has come to bring us Divine Life, and will return to take us to the skies. May His birth shed protection on all about to be born, and as we work to end abortion, may we "wait in joyful hope for the coming of Our Savior, Jesus Christ."
Thank you for your generous support this past year. Without your monetary gifts, prayers of support and many hours of volunteer service we would not have been able to do the work that God has called this organization to do.
On behalf of the Board and staff of Pro-Life Mississippi may Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ bless you now and until He comes again,
