Loving life had the pleasure to interview Karen Stelacek and talk about the 2005 Crusade for Life on 08/01/05.

The American League's Crusade for Life 2005 started on May 23th at the ALL's national headquarters just south of Washington D.C. and will end on July 31st, the feast day of St. Ignatius of Loyola.

Their mission: "We hope to accomplish two things: to end abortion and to bring everyone to the fullness of the truth."

We're going to pray, fast, sacrifice, evangelize, witness, and counsel. We will offer our fasting and sufferings to the Cross of Christ (see Mark 8:34). God willing, with a firm foundation in Christ, we will be able to present ourselves to the world as the Lord's representatives (see Luke 10:16).

It is in the spirit of defending the faith that American Life League calls this project a Crusade. The Culture of Death has led to the destruction of more than one third of our generation. It is about time that we rally to the aid of our brothers and sisters in the womb.

With this in mind, we will be putting to use our most effective spiritual weapons: the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Divine Office, the Most Holy Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet. We will make frequent visits to the Blessed Sacrament and the Sacrament of Penance." -Crusade for Life's official information.

Karen Stelacek will walk from St. Paul, Minnesota to Erie, Pennsylvania. Each one of the volunteers have an online journal that can be viewed with Windows Media Player.
