When I arrived about 5:30 the Crusaders for Life were already praying the Holy Rosary facing WomanCare abortion mill. Their president, Bobby, led the 11 other young men & women as I gave each one a big yellow LIFE balloon & Baby Jesus prayer card & then joined them in praying the rosary. We had another dozen or so Prayer Warriors arrive for the 6pm prayer vigil who also joined in the Holy Rosary. These young ones all knelt down when praying the Sorrowful Mysteries (Christ's Agony in the Garden, His Scouraging at the Pillar, His Crowning with Thorns, His Carrying of the Cross, His Crucifixion). I had tears in my eyes at the faith these young folks have in God to end this evil in our country & our world. What a beau tiful example of how great our young adults can be!!!
The Crusaders for Life continued on with another Rosary & we 40 Days For Life Prayer Warriors moved under the street light down a bit from their group so we could take turns reading various prayers & litanies & singing songs that Maribeth & Sue had picked for our ending prayer vigil. What a blessing to be able to stand next to Karen with her angelic voice. I harmonized to some of the songs, just wonderful to sing with her. A drive by screamer yelled "get a life". I said back, "WE LOVE LIFE." Another drive by screamer yelled, "F___ your beliefs". I did not answer that nasty remark, just said a prayer for both of these misguided young men. May they somehow find their way to God's light & truth& out of satan's culture of death, darkness & lies!!! The rest of the time we heard happy honks & got lots of smiles, waves & thumbs u p from those driving by us. (Jenny)
We will continue our prayer vigils at WomanCare abortion mill, 15 & Dodge Park, on: Wednesdays at 9am; Thursdays at 6pm; and, Fridays at 9am -- please join us when you are able to do so.
(NOTE: Sunday vigils will resume in February)
