June 7, 2012 - Thursday Vigil

Maribeth, Sue, Richard, Chris, Nick, Virginia & myself gathered for the group prayer vigil. Richard read a reflection on Noah's obedience to God from Genesis.  I thought how we pro-lifers must also carry out God's commands as Noah did.  No matter how foolish some folks might think it is to be out there praying for the unborn, it is what God commands & I find that most folks are happy we are out there. Richard then led us in various pro-life prayer intentions & we all answered Lord, hear our prayer. We then took turns reading various prayers & pro-life beatitude reflections which were just beautiful.  Our songs for the evening were Amazing Grace & City of God.


Richard is not 100% back to perfect health so he left after the 1/2 group prayer vigil.  We must keep him & all our other prayer warriors who are dealing with physical difficulties in our daily prayers.  We girls then walked slowly back & forth taking turns leading the rosary, meditating on the Joyful Mysteries because of the joyous day it will be tomorrow when all over our nation folks will be at the various Stand Up For Religious Freedom rallies.  Lord, hear our prayer for the healing of our nation.
Amen!!! 
     One negative yelled at the start of our prayers then all positives, happy honks, thumbs up, smiles, waves from those driving by our prayer group.  Beautiful sunny day, a smidge warm, so we kept in the shade the entire time.  (Jenny)
