September 29, 2013 -- DAY FIVE - FALL 2013 40 DAYS FOR LIFE


3:00 p.m. Prayer Vigil

Indescribable peace and joy in prayer today with people of faith.  We prayed to Our Lady of Guadalupe and then the rosary. It took almost an hour.  We prayed the Glorious mysteries. Reflecting on the blessings Jesus made available at each one.  As we prayed each Hail Mary, we took turns offering an intercessory prayer.

There were twelve of us. Marcia, Richard, Kathy,  Mike, Regina, Mom from St. Thecla, Her son and two daughters, Hamtramak Father and daughter and myself.  The great Mom from St. Thecla was driving by and stopped.
Richard announced the Life Chain next week on Gratiot, so I announced the Life Chain on 15 Mile.
It didn't start raining until after 4:00.

God bless and heal our sinful world. Let us know the joy of your salvation!  (sue)





6:00 p.m. Prayer Vigil

Tonight I faced WomanCare abortion mill under my big umbrella, blest myself with holy water, sprinkled a bit out into the rain around me & began all my opening prayers for all involved in abortion in any way.  Not many folks walking or riding bikes as it was raining pretty hard.  A drive-by screamer yelled "yeah abortion."  Immediately, a Hail Mary was offered up for his misguided soul.  Then two young teenage boys walked by me & said "hi" with smiles, that was nice!!!  Even though I had my "Pray To End Abortion" sign leaning against my legs facing traffic, I'm sure they have seen us PW's out there & most likely knew why I was holding my little prayer booklet & rosary ~ I was praying for the unborn, their moms & dads. Always nice to see the young ones who "get it, get what abortion is all about."  Heard a few happy honks now & then the rest of my prayer time out there.

My next prayer was the Holy Rosary, reading a brief Luminous Mystery before each Hail Mary which I sang along with all the Our Fathers.  To close out my prayer hour, I prayed that all abortion doctors would leave the Culture of Death & come to God's life & start saving babies!!! I sang the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for this prayer intention.  The rain slowed down a bit at it was getting close to 7pm & stopped about five minutes before so I got out my 40 Days for Life booklet & said the Prayer for the Conversion of Abortionists & Their Staffs then said the Pledge of Allegiance as I faced our beautiful American flag on the other side of the street.

I must share two other blessings God sent down to me. Sunday when I was picking up the pizza for Tom & our grandson to enjoy during Sunday football, the young lady at Carlos asked me about 40 Days for Life as she saw the pin I had on so we talked a bit about it & I gave her a Baby Jesus prayer card to check out the website. When I got in my car, I prayed that she would be moved to become a PW with us. Then today at Meijer’s, I saw two Carmelite nuns so I gave them each a big hug to pass on to the other nuns with a big THANK YOU!!! for being HPW's for us on-site PW's.  They are always so joyful... that just made my day!!!  (Jenny)
