Our day started with morning prayer and Mass. We then got on the metro, which was very full because of regular traffic and the large number of people who were participating in the March for Life. We got to the Mall and did some waiting. There were a few speakers from different faiths, some messages from politicians, and then the march began to the Supreme Court building. While we walked we prayed the Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
A lot of the speakers commented on how amazed they were at how many youth were at the march. I was very impressed as well. We ran into quite a few seminarians that we have met in the past few years of study. We marched right along with the men from Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in St. Louis. In the evening we had dinner with a few priests who are studying in Washington. We went to a place called Sergio's. Msgr. Callaghan frequented this place and suggested that we go there.

It was a great day. We are glad that we have been able to witness to the sanctity of human life and we know that we are not the only ones who value the undeniable truth that life is a gift from God.
