Published: February 9, 2024

"Only with prayer — prayer that storms the heavens for justice and mercy, prayer that cleanses our hearts and our souls — will the culture of death that surrounds us today be replaced with a culture of life." — Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities: A Campaign in Support of Life, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops

The international 40 Days for Life ministry highlights prayer, fasting and a peaceful, prayer vigil outside an abortion facility to pray for an end to abortion. The Lenten campaign, which is being held in locations worldwide, begins in Little Rock and Rogers on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 14 and continues through Palm Sunday, March 24. The prayer vigil is held each day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

In Little Rock, participants are praying outside the Planned Parenthood clinic at 1501 Aldersgate Road in Little Rock. A prayer rally to kick off the event will be held Sunday, Feb. 11 at 3 p.m. at Caring Hearts Pregnancy Resource Center at 1515 Aldersgate Rd.
