Scotland's Pro-Life Stations of the Cross - Mondays in Lent - Every Monday in Lent we’ll gather online to reflect, repent and renew our commitment to “the greatest work on earth” – protecting unborn children and their mothers.  We’ll pray for the strength and encouragement to play our part in building a culture of life where no child is unwanted, no woman unloved and the pressures which lead to abortion no longer exist.
