7:00 a.m. Vigil
The wind was strong and mighty this morning. With the thick cloud cover, daylight came very slowly and gradually. This morning was a confirmation that we have a mighty God! We place all of our trust in him. You have given us a free will, may our will always be one with Yours. We are thankful for our religious freedom. Witnessing to the sanctity of life out on the sidewalk is a freedom shared by only 24% of the world's population. May the innocent children in the womb all experience the the God-given right to life.

6:00 p.m. Vigil
In the chilly, windy weather, I faced WomanCare abortion mill, blest myself with holy water, sprinkled a bit around me then began my opening prayers & offered up the prayer vigil for all involved in abortion in anyway. Shortly thereafter, darling 22-yr-old Sarah stopped by to look at both sides of my sign & find out what we are doing out here. I told her, peacefully praying for the unborn ~ being their voice. We talked about what goes on at the abortion mill, about the precious, tiny baby parts in the red bucket they call "medical waste", how sickening is that!!! She agreed as we both had tears in our eyes. She said "you are my voice too. I can't have children, so adoption will be my choice." That is why she is against abortion. She had breast cancer at 12 & was treated successfully & has been cancer-free for these 10 years.
Maribeth arrived & the three of us talked pro-life a bit more & about Sarah in the bible & Maribeth said "God has great plans for you, Sarah." She was getting very cold so we hugged good bye & told her we would be praying for her. She will read the info I gave her & probably join us in prayer one Thursday night. Such a sweet girl. She certainly warmed our hearts with her encouragement to continue our praying for the unborn which we will do for sure. Maribeth & I walked along the grass as she said the rest of the opening prayers & led the Holy Rosary reading a brief Sorrowful Mystery meditation before each decade. As we were going to start the last Mystery, The Crucifixion, we realized it was time to leave for 7pm All Saints Day Mass at St. Malachy. Pro-life intentions were offered up during our First Friday service after Mass. What a blest day & evening this has been ~ praying with Maribeth for the unborn then praying & singing at All Saints Day Mass with her & her husband, just a great Friday for us all!!! (Jenny)
