Dear members of Quebec Life Coalition,
After five months of working here, the end of my term is shortly approaching. Prior to departing I would like to say a few things…
First of all, thank-you to all of my colleagues at Quebec Life Coalition! Though the battle against abortion is a tough and challenging one, the charming, joyful, and hopeful spirit of all of you has helped keep me strong amidst the difficulties that we encounter in the pro-life field. It has been a pleasure working with you.
To all members and donors whom I have met: I will always remember your smiling faces, your endurance and faith, as well as your dedication to the pro-life cause. I hope you continue to attend the Quebec Life Coalition events and spread awareness of the injustice of abortion to those around you. I want to thank-you for all your acts of kindness and generosity.
I have learned so much over the course of the past five months, but what has shaped me far more than the knowledge acquired are the personal stories of pro-life warriors, post-abortion testifiers, couples and families, previous abortion industry employees, converters to the Christian faith, and all those whose lives reflect love, courage, and faith (and there are so many of you!).
Finally, I can assure you that the pro-life cause will always be in my heart and I will continue to do the best that I can to defend the lives of the unborn. I will be starting a program in Education in Ottawa this September and I look forward to joining the Students for Life club at the University of Ottawa.
I leave you with a prayer, one that I find helpful in times of discouragement or distress:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.
- Proverbs 3 : 5-6
God bless all of you! Stay strong!
-Agnès Colantuoni
