It was a bit too windy out, so I put my Lady of Guadalupe candle back in the car. Holding my "Pray to End Abortion sign, I blest myself with holy water & sprinkled a bit on the ground & started praying all the opening prayers. A young couple walked by, mom holding their baby & said hello. I said Happy Thanksgiving to them. They were all smiles. I think they were talking Polish but I'm not sure. Maribeth arrived...yeah!!! She had a Magnificat prayer booklet & read the Thanksgiving Prayer & others which were just beautiful. She then raised up to God all the things we were thankful for ~ life ~ family ~ being able to pray together this evening for the unborn ~ being blest to live in America. Our rosary would especially for a change of heart in the moms & dads who will be thinking of having their little unborn boys & girls killed here at WomanCare abortion mill Friday morning. Lord, let the Friday 9am Prayer Warriors put Your light into them & change their minds & find help with the Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers.
Maribeth said "look up" & there were two candles floating up into the air, just as I was reading the third Joyful Mystery, the Nativity... so cool. We heard happy honks, a motorcycle cop was stopped at the light & we said "Happy Thanksgiving" & he said the same to us & smiled. Then two girls in their car gave us "four" thumbs up, both hands .. that was cute!!! The couple came back from the market & said "good night" to us. We were not sure if the first drive by screamer said "pro-life" or "go home", either way, we were going to be out their for our prayer vigil. A young lady drove by with her palm up out her window & we wondered if that was a negative or positive but our closing prayer that we were getting ready to say was "Lord, we lift up to You..." so I said "that meant she was lifting us up to the Lord". A man road by on his bike and talked a bit & said Happy Thanksgiving & God bless you & we answered the same back to him. We faced the beautiful, big flag & said the Pledge of Allegiance & our vigil was ended. We were both very thankful to be out there, especially with so many positives this evening. Jesus, that was so beautiful of You to do that for Maribeth & I tonight. Thank you ! ! ! (Jenny)
We will continue our peaceful prayer vigils at WomanCare abortion mill, 15 Mile & Dodge Park Wednesdays at 9am; Thursdays at 6pm and Fridays at 9am. Join us please when you can.
