September 13, 2012 - Thursday Vigil

Thursday night I arrived a little early, faced WomanCare abortion mill, blest myself with holy water & sprinkled a little on the ground & said the Prayer for the Helpless Unborn, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel for all Prayer Warriors, the Dearest Mother Mary prayer, JPII's Pro-life prayer, the Prayer for our Pastors, & the 2012 National Prayer for our nation.  A young man stopped by to talk for a bit. He said his father was waiting for him but he just had to stop by to say he liked the sign "Pray To End Abortion" & he was 100% with us.  I gave him one of our brochures & he will check out the website. He is a student at Oakland University & I pray that he & other pro-lifers his age will get out to the the various abortion mills to pray during 40 Days for Life.

I began the rosary, reading a brief Joyful Mystery meditation before each Hail Mary.  Norma then joined me & led the rest of the rosary.  A young man pulled up & stopped his car & read my sign with no expression on his face.  Norma said hopefully it made him think about abortion.  She then read from our Family Prayer Booklet, pro-life beatitude reflections "Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God" ~ "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God", "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs", "Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely on My account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven."  We both said AMEN to this & also talked about how great it will be to be met in Heaven by the little ones killed at WomanCare who we prayed for.  She then read the Prayer for Unborn Children and An Old Testament Litany For Life, which I answered "Lord, You give us life!  Next was the Litany for Peace, the song On Eagle's Wings & the Prayer to the Holy Spirit.  A mom, grandma & little girl on a bike passed by with smiles toward Norma & I.  We heard happy honks throughout the prayer vigil.  We then ended our prayer vigil saying the "Prayer for the Conversion of Abortionists and Their Staffs."  (Jenny)
