The Good Counsel Network have asked that Saturday 26th October be a national day of prayer and fasting for life.

Fasting
Fast from all food except bread and water for the day.
Or
Fast from a particular food or luxury, e.g. chocolate, alcohol, cigarettes, TV.
Fast from whatever you can given your state of health etc, but make sure it is something that involves a sacrifice to yourself.

Prayer
We are asking people to say a Rosary (or an extra Rosary if you say it daily already).
You could also offer an extra effort such as going to Mass (or an extra Mass) on the day, or going to Adoration. You can even pray before a closed tabernacle if Adoration is not available near you.

Saturday 26th October is the day before the 57th anniversary of the passing of the Abortion Act, and two days before the Feast of St Jude, Patron of hopeless causes. Please pray and fast for the end of abortion. There have been over 10 million abortions in this Country since 1967.

“And the people of Ninevah believed in God; they proclaimed a fast and put
on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least…God saw their efforts to
renounce their evil ways. And God relented about the disaster which He
had threatened to bring on them, and He did not bring it. (Jonah 3:5,10)”
