EWTN’s live feed comes to the Daily Blog this afternoon so that all is ready for you to watch the Washington, D.C., March for Life here starting tomorrow.

Hoopeses are getting ready for the March, too. The kids found our “shoe sign” from Marches past and e-mailed this picture of it. We meet our bus tonight at 11 pm, for the under-24-hour marathon trip. I hope to blog from the event.

People Explain ‘Why I Go to Mass’

‘Why go to Mass on Sundays? It is not enough to answer that it is a precept of the Church. … We Christians need to participate in Sunday Mass because only with the grace of Jesus, with his living presence in us and among us, can we put into practice his commandment, and thus be his credible witnesses.’ —Pope Francis
