June 14, 2012 - Thursday Vigil

     Mary walked back & forth on the sidewalk with her pro-life sign & stood on the grass facing traffic in front of WomanCare abortion mill praying the rosary until she had to leave for 7pm Mass.

     Richard, Marcia, Nancy, Matthew & myself stood in the shade of the trees down a bit from where Mary was praying her rosary.  Richard led us in an Old Testament Litany For Life from our 40 Days for Life Family Prayers, Reflections, & Songs booklet.  We all responded Lord, You give us life!  We then took turns reading various litanies & prayers.  We joined our voices in song of praise & prayed the Prayer for the Conversion of Abortionists & their Staffs.  We five prayed the rosary with Matthew giving a brief meditation of each Glorious Mystery as we each led a decade of the rosary.

     Richard asked that we pass along a request to those who are able to be out at WomanCare abortion mill on Friday mornings at 9a.m.  For the women who have scheduled appointments to have their unborn babies killed there, may our prayers & fasting for them bring God's healing touch upon them to change their minds & give life to their little ones.  Also, we pray for those who go through with it, that they will one day seek forgiveness from God who is always ready to shower down His divine mercy for those who ask it of Him.

     There was lots!!! of traffic as always during that time of night & folks were waving, honking in approval & giving smiles to our little prayer group.  Some who were stopped for the light said "God bless you"  & other positive things.  We said "come join us in prayer when you get a chance."  I don't remember any negatives toward us & if there were, they did not register in my brain.   It was a beautiful day, a bit warm & we were thankful for the shade from the trees.

     Please remember, our 1/2 HOUR GROUP PRAYER VIGILS are now EACH THURSDAY NIGHT AT 6pm & EACH SUNDAY at 3pm.  Join us in peaceful prayer & songs of praise at WomanCare 15 Mile & Dodge Park if you are able.  Also, you can check out the St. Malachy Church bulletin for the article reflecting both 1/2 group prayer vigils if you would like to place this info in your church bulletin ---  www.stmalachychurch.org  --- Hopefully, that would get more & more folks out there in peaceful prayer to end this evil which would be excellent!!!    (Jenny)
