May 10, 2012 - Thursday Vigil

Mary & Nick were already at WomanCare abortion mill as I arrived at 6pm.   Nick was finishing his 5pm prayer vigil.  Maribeth soon joined us.  We all blest ourselves with holy water.  Mary prayed her rosary farther down on the grass & Maribeth & I faced the abortion mill holding our "Pray to End Abortion" signs.  We took turns reading prayers & singing songs of praise from the Group Prayer Vigil Booklets.  Then Mary had to leave for Thursday night Mass.  Maribeth & I walked back & forth along the sidewalk up to the traffic light & back to the abortion mill singing the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.  Our prayers this evening were as always for those involved in abortion in any way.  Some gals yelled at us as they drove by but we could not make out what they had said, so we are not sure if it was a positive or negative. Their voices sounded kind of mean, so I think they said a negative.   Lots of traffic at this time of night & so many cars got stopped by the traffic light.  A guy tooted & gave us a thumbs up through his roof.  Then two young gals yelled "God bless you guys!!" with a thumbs up!  We said, "thank you, God bless you also."  We heard happy honks now & then during our prayer hour this evening.  Just before we left, a sweet elderly lady (foreign) came up and asked for Rosaries...one for her and one for her mom.  How wonderful it is to be a witness for life and for Jesus Christ!!  He truly is the golden thread that binds those who are called to Him!  Thank You God for a beautiful night of prayer.  (Jenny & Maribeth)
