40 Days for Life Campaign

In its "News from the trenches," California Catholic Daily has an encouraging story:

...California Catholic Daily presents an interview with Wynette Sills, a veteran sidewalk counselor and co-director of the 40 Days for Life Campaign in Sacramento. Wynette is a Catholic wife and mother of three. She and her husband, Ed, are organic farmers north of Sacramento....

One of the comments which stood out as an example of something for which we all should strive, is this:

Does the intensity of this kind of campaign take a toll on you?

Our whole family experiences a sacrifice in service to Him with regards to this Sidewalk Ministry, particularly prior to and during these "40 Day" periods. Yet, we persevere through prayer, knowing all that Christ sacrificed for our sake.
Sacrifice...Persevering through prayer...Recalling Our Lord's suffering and death for our salvation...
