The Lord will Destroy Death Forever! Pray to end abortion. - Ministry Videos

Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, continues in this video his special series on praying to end abortion. "The Lord will destroy death forever!" This marvelous declaration from Isaiah 25:8 should sustain us daily in our pro-life efforts. When we pray to end abortion, we are not just asking God to do us some favor or to grant a request. It's much more momentous than that.

When we ask him to end abortion, we are pleading for the fulfillment of the primary purpose of salvation history: the conquering of death. It was about this that God first spoke when he promised in Genesis 3:15 (the "first gospel") that the head of the serpent would be crushed. It was for this that Jesus himself died and rose again; it is for this that every Church ministry exists. As Paul explains in 1 Cor. 15, as in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive, but each in his own order. Christ is the first to rise from the dead; then all things are to be made subject to him, and in him, all will rise at the end of time. "Then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory!" (1 Cor. 15:54).
