May 16, 2013 - Thursday Vigil

Last night was another beautiful sunny evening but good to have a sweater on.  Christine, Maribeth & I faced WomanCare abortion mill, shared holy water & sprinkled a bit on the ground then Maribeth offered up our prayer intentions for the hour.  Christine read all our opening prayers then we began walking along the grass area to & from the traffic light as she led the Holy Rosary Luminous Mystery medication before each Hail Mary.

Pro choice was yelled by a drive-by screamer & a young woman who was taking pictures of us had her "thumb down" out her front window. What was really!!! cute!!! is that the car in front of her was giving us her thumb up & the little baby sitting behind the young woman with her thumb down had it's precious little hand out the back window giving us a cute little thumbs up.  I just smiled, it was just too cute for words.

A man stopped his van to thank us for speaking up for life. We thanked him for taking time to talk with us.  He was all smiles. He said "not many folks speak up for life, God bless you." We thanked him again.

Another man stopped by to ask why were were praying here & Maribeth pointed to WomanCare & said "they do abortions there." He said, "wow, I had no idea."  She said, so many of these evil places are neatly tucked away in neighborhoods all over the place & we want to let people know that babies are being killed right where they live. He was not happy about this evil happening where he lives.

During the last ten minutes of our prayer vigil, Christine read various prayers, reflections & intentions from our 40 Days for Life booklet to which Maribeth & I answered, "Lord, hear our prayer."  Our Lord has said "if My people will humble themselves in prayer & ask My forgiveness for the sins of the world, I will hear them & heal them".  By what is happening to these abortionists in their trials & many more folks now seeing what abortion REALLY looks like, I am very happy that God is healing us.  It is so great to be able to be out at these killing mills simply praying & this small effort of us PW's is waking up our fellow Americans!!!  A lady was stopped at the light & honking like mad. She liked the three babies on our signs & was giving us thumbs up & a big smile.  (Jenny)

Please come out & join us in peaceful prayer on Thursday nights at 6pm; Friday mornings at 9am or Sundays at 3pm.  God will shower His blessings upon you for doing so.
