(LifeSiteNews) — A video of young pro-lifers singing a beautiful lullaby at the Illinois state capitol has resurfaced while state legislators debate current bills that would legalize abortion until the moment of birth.
Members of the choir of St. John Cantius — a parish in the Archdiocese of Chicago that seeks to preserve the beauty of traditional liturgy and sacred music — joined with Crusaders for Life in 2017 to sing the “Coventry Carol,” which stems from a medieval mystery play that depicts the massacre of the Holy Innocents by the soldiers of King Herod, as depicted in the Gospel of St. Matthew. In the video, the young activists are shown wearing yellow shirts and swaying arm in arm in the impressive rotunda of the State House in Springfield, where state legislators meet. Their voices reverberated up and down the space over which soared the cupula of the capitol building.
A spokesperson for St. John Cantius Parish in Chicago affirmed that the video was recorded in 2017 at a rally in support of the dignity of unborn babies. The video was produced by Crusaders for Life, a pro-life group which had its beginnings among young St. John Cantius parishioners and has since expanded elsewhere in Illinois and to Michigan. It was during a Midwest tour in 2017 that the young activists and choristers sang at the Illinois state capitol. The Crusaders have made the 16th-century carol their hallmark.

A young teacher friend took her kids from San Diego to DC last week for a choir competition. They did a little museum stuff, and saw the original star-spangled banner from the War of 1812. They sang the national anthem, lots of others gathered around to hear them sing. Now that’s patriotism!
Notice the difference between Right and Left activist? Right activists bring songs of peace. Leftists create pieces.
I know I post this song frequently, but it struck a nerve in me when I first heard it from this very site. https://youtu.be/uYuBYXvAiYY
