October 24, 2012 - Day 29

Such a beautiful Michigan evening...76!!! After blessing myself with holy water & sprinkling a bit on the ground, I faced WomanCare abortion mill with my Pray To End Abortion sign hanging from my arm facing traffic & started my opening prayers. Immediately, three young boys walked by with hellos & smiles. Maribeth led the Holy Rosary reading a brief Glorious Mystery before each Hail Mary. A young woman stopped by to calmly ask various questions ~ why do we judge these women? ~ do we have any idea what they are going through? ~ what if they have been raped?  Maribeth answered all her questions in a loving, calm, truthful way & I mentioned we are out here to be the voice for the unborn who have no rights at all. She drove away hopefully thinking differently about killing babies in the womb. Eleanor & Ed prayed from their van which was so nice of them. Maribeth then read today's Intention, Scripture, Reflection & Prayer from our 40 Days for Life Devotional Booklet & we finished our prayer time facing that big, beautiful flag & with right hands on our hearts said the Pledge of Allegiance. Thumbs up & smiles from a lot of young ones passing by in the back seats of cars this evening.  (Jenny)
