Thankfully, I watched EWTN Mass tonight and Fr. Frank Pavone, leader of Priests for Life, mentioned a new initiate. This initiate makes March 9th an annual day of Prayer for the Conversion of Abortionists.
We can do all things through the power of God's grace as today's Gospel reading illustrates. Let us pray for the conversion of all who chose to murder their own children.
"Lord,
I lift up to you all abortionists and their staff, including: all technicians, nurses, receptionists, counselors, chaplains, and all who are employed or voluntarily assisting with the killing of the unborn in any way. I place each one of them in the innermost recesses of Your Sacred Heart -- Your heart of mercy, compassion and love for all Your children.
I pray that they will accept the supernatural graces that You give them this day to rennounce the: the horrific killing of Your children, the psychological, physical, and spiritual harm that they are doing to women through their actions, and the tremendous spiritual, physical, and psychological harm they are doing to themselves.
Give them an abundance of courage and strength to say "No" to murder and to escape the culture of death and the constant torment and resentment that they experience in their lives.
As they approach You, encourage them to draw nearer, remove the veil that covers their eyes and blinds them to the truth. Pour out Your tender, loving mercy upon them that they will see the truth, the reality, and the consequences of their actions. Draw them into the light of your love and penetrate their souls with the light of truth, the light of Your knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
I pray this in the Holy name of Jesus through the intercession of Our Blessed Virgin Mary.For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on them, and on all the whole world!

Fr. Frank Pavone recommends actions for today and tomorrow to promote the culture of life:
a) Pray for the conversion of all abortionists.
b) Read the testimonies of the former abortion providers.
c) Write a letter to your local papers quoting one or more of these testimonies and inviting local abortionists to conversion.
d) Read some of the testimonies of those who have been injured by abortion (see http://www.priestsforlife.org/postabortion/index.htm), and write a letter that helps educate others about the devastating effects of abortion.
e) Gather with groups who pray in front of abortion centers and pray for the conversion of the abortionists who work there.
f) Publicly challenge abortionists – again, through letters or calls to media programs – to describe the abortion procedure in detail to the public, and to tell the women who make abortion appointments about the dangers of the procedure and about the alternatives they have.
g) Tell your priest/pastor about this special observance and invite him to speak about it from the pulpit.
Jesus said, "Ask and it will be given to you;seek and you will find;knock and the door will be opened to you.For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds;and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened" (Mt 7:7-8)
Don't stop praying because abortionists have converted because of prayers. We are winning the pro-life cause because of prayer.

Matthew, Are you aware that there is an advert at the top of your blog that reads "Go one-on-one with exotic latina beauties.....start now", with accompanying photographs of the big-breasted beauties? I thought this rather inappropriate for your blog. Maria
