It was in the 80's this evening with a breeze the entire hour. So much better than last week when it was 101. I sprinkled a little holy water on the ground. Richard arrived right after me & we had a little bit of time before 6pm so we blest ourselves with holy water and said The Prayer for the Helpless Unborn to begin our prayer time together, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel for all prayer warriors, the Dearest Mother Mary prayer for healing of post-abortive women, Blessed JPII's pro-life prayer & the Prayer for our Pastors.
At 6pm Richard read various reflections on scripture regarding Solomon & the Holy Innocents, then led Family Prayer Intentions to which I answered Lord hear our prayer & said the Prayer for Family Life. We then joined our voices in prayerful, pro-life songs from the back of the booklet. We ended the 1/2 hour prayer vigil praying the Prayer for the Conversion of Abortionists and their Staffs.
Richard then led the rosary reading a brief Luminous Mystery meditation before each Hail Mary. Nancy arrived & joined us. We had a little time after the rosary & each of us took turns leading quick pro-life prayer meditations on each Hail mary bead.
No negatives this evening & lots!!! of happy honks, thumbs up, smiles & "God bless you for doing this" from those driving by and those stopped for the light. A group of six young folks drove by with thumbs up out their windows then a few minutes later drove over to our prayer group to talk. They asked us what we were doing & Richard told them we were praying to end abortion. They asked if abortions were done around here & he pointed to WomanCare. They were all disgusted. Then Richard asked me to bring my rosary packettes over to them. I gave each of them a booklet "How to Say the Rosary" along with their rosary as well as a Baby Jesus prayer card. The two girls said, "O Baby Jesus is so cute, we love Baby Jesus." They were all really!!! happy to receive these prayer items. I told them our website is on the back of the Baby Jesus prayer card & to check it out when they get a chance.
WOW!!! that was really cool to see a group of young ones so!!! PRO-LIFE. It was a very beautiful blessing for Richard, Nancy & myself to share our love for the unborn with them. (Jenny)
