October 3, 2012 - Day 8

After blessing myself with holy water & sprinkling a bit on the ground I began all the opening prayers. Kathy & Mike L arrived shortly thereafter...YEAH!!! and he took over the readings & led us in the Holy Rosary reading a brief Glorious Mystery meditation before each Hail Mary.  Then Maribeth joined us as well. YEAH!!! four prayer warriors in peaceful prayer for the unborn. We read the Intention, Scripture, Reflection & Prayer from the 40 Days for Life booklet and the Prayer for the Conversion of Abortionists and their Staffs as we got to the end of our prayer vigil.  We received mostly positives (one elderly gentlemen drove through the parking lot with a big thumbs up and a "thank you" to us for being out there praying for the babies!   We also had one " #1 sign" -- you all know what that is. We immediately pray for those who are showing negatives, because their anger is usually related to abortion in some way & our prayers go up to God to heal their broken hearts & show them His light & truth & hopefully they will come back to Him.  We then turned toward the big, beautiful American flag & placed our right hands on our hearts as we said The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag & finished singing America the Beautiful. It was a very beautiful evening of prayers.  (Jenny & Maribeth)
