Topeka – About Life Mission.

This was the topic of the Ignite and Mass for Life rally, held on January 29 at the Topeka (TPAC) Center for Performing Arts. At least 1600 attended the annual event.

Sponsored by the Archdiocese Pro-Life Service, the event included a Fair of Organizations and Ministries of Life, massively with the bishops in Kansas and three different speakers, all of whom, like Debra Niene, the consultant for the life of the archbishopric, stated that it was on a mission to the mission of The mission is on a mission of life.

First was 23-year-old Gabriel Cob.

In 2023, Kob spoke in the United Nations organization of living a full life with Down Syndrome. His speech was broadcast live all over the world.

“Challenges? Yes. Restrictions? No, Kob said to those of the rally.

Elsewhere, he said he was blessed with a “great family”, including “two loving parents who always kept the bar high.”

“My biggest achievement is that I am a triathlete,” he said, adding that he has finished 15 triatons.

He also competes in basketball and golf with the special Olympics, sings at his sister’s wedding and studies Tae Kwon Do. He also enjoys dancing of swinging dances and lines and travels to Down Syndrome.

But, Cobb said, “My faith is the most important part of my life. I like to visit the liturgy every day and pray strongly. After all, I am Gabriel, God’s Messenger! “

Following Cob, Dr. Lisa Gilbert, a Witca Family Certified Doctor, whose long list of achievements involves serving the US Pro-Life Ob-Gyns (AAPLOG) Association.

“Most of us have heard the slogan that abortions are health care. I am here to challenge all of us and strongly say that abortions are not health care, “Gilbert said during his presentation.

On the topic of abortion pills, the doctor said that 1 in 25 women who accept them ended up in the emergency room. This, she said, is a greater stress for doctors who should be prone to these situations when they are on a call, let alone the physical, psychological and spiritual trauma experienced by these women.

The last speaker “On Mission” was Leah Darrow, a former model who is now the wife and mother of seven children living on a 80 acres pumpkin farm in the shocks.

“My life over the last eight months has become a story that many abortion defenders would use for why abortions should be used. The mother’s life is at risk. You have to abort the baby, ”she said.

On May 1, just 22 weeks after her pregnancy with her seventh child, she became critically ill.

Most countries would not consider her baby viable because of their illness. Fortunately, she said, Missouri, her state of residence, did it. So when doctors told her and her husband that their child would not be able to walk and there would be many problems such as blindness, deafness and chromosomal abnormalities, they can offer intervention and treatment.

“I was told there was less than two percent of a chance to survive,” she said. “They also told me that the only choice-the only choice to save my life-was to have an emergency section. Because if I didn’t, I would die with my baby. “

Darow had a caesarean section as recommended; Baby Sylvester spent 199 days in intensive treatment. Today, both she and the cunning are doing well. In fact, Sly was nestled against his mother as she made her remarks. Darrow was praying, she said that God would give her a “long journey” – because she knew that a long journey meant he would live.

“One of the things [Sylvester’s] He taught me about the potential. So often we think that the potential starts when you finish high school or when you get your first job, “she said. “This is not true. This is a lie that our culture really wants to tell you so you don’t handle the good when you can do the good so you don’t do the good when you are young. The potential does not start when you are 18. The potential starts from conception, with your hands down. “

In conclusion, Darow said, “I leave you with this challenge. This is your challenge right here. Intervention. Intervention. S S S Life message is not just a message about women. This is a message for men, for families, for children, for all of us to stand up. All are reported. Every life counts. We don’t have to have the answers. We just have to take the first steps, because every life is worth it, everyone. “

Following the presentation of Darrow, Archbishop Joseph F. Nauman celebrated a liturgy with Bishop Carl Camme of the Diocese of Wichita and Bishop Gerald Winke of the Diocese Salina and several dozen priests from the different dioceses.

The participants then headed for Capitol Kansas for a rally sponsored by Kanzans for life.
