BE INSPIRED TO TAKE THE STAND FOR LIFE!
(March for Life in Washington, D.C. - January 2013)
6:00 p.m. Vigil
Maribeth, Ray & I walked back & forth along our sacred prayer area on the grass holding our pro-life signs, saying all the opening prayers, sharing holy water & offering up our prayer intentions for the hour. Ray led the Holy Rosary with Maribeth reading a brief Glorious Mystery before each Hail Mary. A beautiful blessing was given to us as a young woman drove up & stopped to talk a bit & to thank us for being out there. We discussed the hurt that abortion causes to so many & we promised to never stop praying for the end of this horrid evil happening right here in our neighborhoods. These mills will be closed through our peaceful prayers & our loving, kind assistance to those who stop by to ask us for help. Jesus, we trust in You!!! A few young boys asked as they were riding their bikes near us "is this your job?" We said no, we just pray here one hour each night for the unborn & they could see the darling babies on our pro-life signs. Maribeth mentioned how this will be in their minds as they grow into young men. Hopefully abortion will be over by that time & if not, how beautiful it would be for them to be here praying with us. One of them always says "God bless you" as he rides his bike by us. For the conversion of abortionists, we sang the Chaplet of Divine Mercy & closed with the Pledge of Allegiance, said our good byes & realized that it was going to be a lot!!! colder very soon & as I type this, it is raining, windy & chilly outside & we must definitely dress in layers from now on ~ or until our Michigan weather changes back to 65.
