The Toms River 40 Days for Life vigil starts on Wednesday Feb 17th, 8AM – 8PM for 40 consecutive days of Prayer at the site of the abortion clinic on Rt 37 W.
There will be an opening prayer service the night before at 7PM at St. Joseph’s Church in Toms River.
St. James tells us in 1:22 “Be doers of the word, not hearers only, deceiving yourself.” The 40 Days for Life vigil is an opportunity to be a doer of the word. Put your faith into action. Join us for just 1 hour a week during the 40 days for prayer to stop abortion.
This weekend I will be speaking about the 40 Days for Life at all masses at St. Justin’s in Toms River and asking people to sign up for just 1 hour a week of prayer.
YOU can sign up now by visiting our website: http://www.40daysforlife.com/tomsriver/
Take a stand for life. Join us in prayer to save lives. Join us in prayer to stop abortion in our community, across the country and around the world.
“Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.” - Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves" Proverbs 31:8
“For behold, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.” St. Luke 1:44

Put on the whole armor of God
Toms River is a great place to live. We have great schools; Outstanding youth programs; A choice of churches for worship; Great places to shop and dine; Entertainment; Summer activities; Easy to get to Philadelphia or New York and more.
However, Toms River is engaged in a spiritual battle. It’s a battle between good and evil, between LIFE and Death. The center of that battle is American Women Services – the abortion mill on Rt 37 West.
Our most powerful weapon in this battle is PRAYER, and that is what the 40 Days for Life is about. NOT political protest, NOT public awareness, but PRAYER.
Daily prayer is what will strengthen us in this spiritual battle.
St. Paul tells us in Ephesians 6:11-13 to “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
Now is the time to put on the whole armor of God with daily prayer. Now is the time to take a stand in the battle between God and Satan. Now is the time to pray to stop abortion in Toms River and across America. Now is the time to join us in peaceful prayerful vigil in the 40 DAYS FOR LIFE.
Join us for just 1 hour a week between February 17 and March 28. Pray to end abortion.
Visit http://www.40daysforlife.com/tomsriver/ and remember the words of St. Pio of Pietrelcina: “Pray. Pray to the Lord with me, because the whole world needs prayer. And every day, when your heart especially feels the loneliness of life, pray.”
