Christine & I blest ourselves with holy water & sprinkled a bit on the ground, then faced WomanCare abortion mill as she began the opening prayers. Nancy joined us & offered up all the pro-life prayer intentions we would be praying for during the hour. Maribeth arrived as well. It was 39 with a bit of a breeze so it was still definitely "dress in layers" time here in Michigan. We walked the entire hour as Christine led us in the Holy Rosary reading a brief Sorrowful Mystery before each Hail Mary. Next was the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with St. Faustin'a meditations on the Passion. Each Friday, her words help us realize just what Our Lord suffered for our sins. I get tears in my eyes most Fridays listening to St. Faustina's words His agony & death. Lord, forgive us for our sins against You & help us be more holy people!!! We closed with the Pledge of Allegiance & hugged good bye & all headed to our cars to warm up our fingers & toes... not frozen tonight but definitely very cold.
Those walking by or driving by waved, nodded in approval, smiled & happy honks were heard at various times & one drive-by screamer. We totally could not understand one word he was yelling. We prayed for his hardened heart to be converted to God's truth & light. The Jet's Pizza delivery guy waved as he drove by. Four teen boys walked by & smiled & waved. A man from the market walked over to see our signs "Pray To End Abortion. He said "where is it?" I said WomanCare & pointed to it & said that is where they do abortions. You would not think so with a name like that, huh? He just shook his head & looked at that place. A young boy & his grandpa were stopped at the light reading my sign, so I smiled & waved & they did the same back to me. (Jenny)
