Day 29 - March 13, 2013

Christine & I blest ourselves with holy water & sprinkled a bit on the ground then faced WomanCare abortion mill as she offered up pro-life intentions for tonight. It was 35 degrees & the wind at times almost knocked us down, our fingers were freezing right away but we offered it up for the end of abortion. We began our walk from the abortion mill to the traffic light & back as Christine led the Holy Rosary reading a brief Glorious Mystery meditation before each Hail Mary. She then led the Chaplet of Divine Mercy as well & various pro-life prayers & intentions from our Family Prayer booklet during our last ten minutes of the prayer hour. We closed with saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Lots of happy honks & thumbs up & no negatives. It was so great to get out of the freezing cold wind & sit in my car with the heater on as my fingers warmed up. But we PW's are happy to be out there to remind folks passing by that evil is happening right here in our own neighborhood & most do no want this to continue. We will be out there in peaceful prayer until it ends. Good night all, God bless you.  (Jenny)

Day 28 - March 12, 2013

Christine & I blest ourselves with holy water & sprinkled a bit on the ground then faced WomanCare abortion mill as she offered up all the pro-life intentions we would be praying for last night. We started our walk to & from the traffic light on the grassy prayer area as she led us in the Holy Rosary reading a brief Sorrowful Mystery before each Hail Mary. 1) The Agony in the Garden 2) The Scourging at the Pillar 3) The Crowning with Thorns 4) The Carrying of the Cross 5) The Crucifixion. As St. Faustina says in her meditations on the Passion of our Lord, "the world has no idea of what He suffered for our sins." We kept that in mind throughout the entire prayer hour. 

We received waves, thumbs up, smiles, affirmative nods from those who drove by & also heard "pro choce" yelled at us from a drive-by screamer. These folks will never hear our side of it if they continue to do the cowardly thing & just scream as they drive by. Most definitely! ! ! God has given each one of a free will & freedom of choice. Our PW mission is to be out there in peaceful prayer for the the moms & dads ~ that their choice will be LIFE for their little unborn sons & daughters in the womb.

Next Christine led us in the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for the conversion of all abortion doctors & their staffs. For our last ten minutes, she read beautiful pro-life prayers & intentions from our Family Prayers, Reflections, & Songs booklet as I answered Lord, we cry, hear our prayer; Loving God, hear our prayer; Lord of life, hear our prayer. To close our prayer time together, we said the Pledge of Allegiance looking at our beautiful American flag on the other side of the streef from the abortion mill.

It was not! ! ! 64 degrees last night. After the opening prayers, my fingers were starting to burn but as always, this small amount of pain was offered up for the little ones in the womb who are scheduled to be killed on Friday morning...not sure if the mill is even open yet but we will get an update from one of the Friday a.m. PW's soon I'm sure. Lord, help us end this evil in our world!!! Amen!!!  (Jenny)

Day 27 - March 11, 2013

Christine & I blest ourselves with holy water & sprinkled a bit on the ground & faced WomanCare abortion mill standing underneath our umbrellas. We said the Prayer for the Helpless Unborn & for all PW's & HPW's we said the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel. Then we heard Maribeth...yeah. That makes 3 PW's here this evening. She said "LOOK AT THE RAINBOW." So we turned toward her and WOW! ! ! an absolutely beautiful, HUGE rainbow from one side of the street to the other. The colors were so bright we could hardly believe it. Then the sun came out & the rain started to slow down. What a blessing God sent us. We just stood there & looked at it until it faded away. I have not seen a rainbow that bright & that huge in a very long time. All I can say is WOW!!! Christine then led us in the Holy Rosary & as it was windy we did not get our Rosary booklet out. She just gave a meditation after announcing each Joyful Mystery. She then led us in the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for the conversion of all abortion doctors & their staffs. She then read all the various prayers we usually start the prayer vigil with. To cloes, we said the Pledge of Allegiance & sang America the Beautiful. We heard happy honks throughout the hour & as we were leaving we heard three honks & three different cars had folks waving to us... Rainbow to start our Prayer Vigil & 3 folks waving to end it. Those last three folks reminded us of the Trinity, Father, Son & Holy Spirit. What a blest night for us 3 gals!!! :o) :o) :o)  (Jenny)

Day 26 - March 10, 2013

From freezing fingers & toes to 64 degree beautiful Michigan weather this evening!!! I blest myself with holy water & sprinkled a bit on the ground & began my opening prayers. Maribeth joined me...yeah. We walked along the grass with our pro-life signs & got thumbs up & happy honks & waves. Darryl stopped by to chat a bit as did Sue & Connie. Darryl prays with Sue every morning from 7-8a.m. God bless all our on-site PW's!!! as well as our HPW's!!! We continued slowly walking & praying the Holy Rosary with a brief Sorrowful Mystery meditation before each Hail Mary & sang our 3 meditations after each decade. Next was the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with the booklet that has St. Faustina's meditations on the Passion. (Marilyn, I can't thank you enough for putting this booklet together for me. It is just beautiful... brings tears to your eyes at various parts & PW's use it a lot!!! when they are our there praying for the unborn.) We closed with the Pledge of Allegiance.

As we sat in our cars & talked a bit, a car pulled up in front of Maribeth & I. It was the couple that had yelled "go home" before they went into the Chinese Restaurant. The young woman did the Robert Dinaro move ~ pointed to her eyes ~ (I'm watching you) ~ then pointed at us then gave us the finger, then they drove off. I unbuckled my seatbelt, jumped out of my car & yeah!!! they were stuck in the driveway by traffic so they could not make their left-hand turn. So... I ran up to the sidewalk, pointed to my eyes ~ (I'm watching you) ~ pointed at them ~ but did not!!! give them the finger. Instead, I showed them my praying hands & thumbs up & waved & gave them a big smile to let them know I am praying for them!!! Neither of them said anything to me or gave me the finger back. They just sat there then made their left-hand turn as soon as traffic cleared. When I got home I told Tom that I wish I would have said... "Do you want to have an intelligent conversation about why you think it's okay to kill babies in the womb or do you just want to show me your IQ?"... but I didn't think of that at the time ... no matter. They know that I am praying for them & that's really what I wanted to let them know. Such sad, lost, souls & cowards!!! When they were confronted by me, a peaceful prayer warrior showing them niceness & a loving heart after they had flipped off Maribeth & I, they had no remark. Lord, heal their lost souls & give them Your truth & light & teach them to be nicer human beings!!! geeeeezzzzzz!!! This IS!!! America, the land of the free!!! We DO!!! have freedom of speech in America!!! Of course the other side, the pro-choice side, thinks that only they!!! have freedom of speech but we pro-lifers are NOT GOING HOME as that young woman yelled to us to do. NO!!! We are going to be out there bringing light into the evil places where little unborn boys & girls are being killed & moms are being terribly hurt by thinking that the only choice they have is to have that doctor kill their little ones. Lord, help us PW's stay strong for Your precious unborn!!! Amen!!! Holy Spirit, thx for giving me the "nudge" to jump out of my car & confront that couple. They most certainly did not expect that!!! I bet they thought they were so cool by flipping off Maribeth & I but hopefully I gave them something to think about, that even though they were not nice to me, I'm praying for them. God only knows how there hearts were touched but I hope their hardened hearts were softened a bit this evening by my prayers, thumbs up, wave & smile for them. Lord, I put them totally into Your healing hands.

Shawn has more pics for us in his latest update...yeah!!! So glad to be a part of this worldwide prayer campaign against this evil in our world. Get thee behind us Satan!!! We will NEVER stop our prayers & fasting to rid our world of your sickness...the killing of unborn boys & girls!!! Good night all, God bless you!  (Jenny)

Day 25 - March 9, 2013

After blessing myself with holy water & sprinkling a bit on the ground I started the opening prayers & saw two PW's walking toward me ~ Kathy & Mike from St. Thecla's...yeah!!! Mike was kind enough to take over reading the opening prayers & leading us in the Holy Rosary with a brief meditation before each Hail Mary. Another PW then was walking toward us ~ Christine from St. Renee's...yeah!!! We continued walking along the grass area holding our pro-life signs.

We received blessings of thumbs up & waves & a man stopped his van next to us & said "God bless you for praying here. I hate that a place like that is over there, pointing to the abortion mill. It's 2013 & people don't believe in God anymore." I said, "I know it seems that way but at the March for Life 650,000 people were there & so many young men & women." He was very happy to hear that & happy also to receive our info packette to check out our website. I asked him to stop back & lead us in prayer when he gets a chance & he shook his head yes. Kathy mentioned all the postive things people are saying to her & Mike as they pray for the unborn there. Then a little later I heard a drive by screamer but I have absolutely no idea what he said. I said a prayer for his conversion to God's light if he had screamed a negative & if he screamed a positive I prayed for his heart to continue to grow in the culture of life. Then a man walked over to our group & said "Good what you are doing out here." We thanked him for taking the time to stop by to give us his support.

Christine then led us in the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Kathy & Mike had to leave & Christine & I finished the last ten minues standing under the street light & reading pro-life prayers & intercessions from our beautiful 40 Days for Life Family Prayers, Reflections & Songs booklet that Maribeth & Sue printed for us PW's a while back. I'll tell ya, soooo many folks really are inspired from praying at the abortion mill using this booklet. Our deepest thanks go out to Maribeth & Sue. The biggest fan of this booklet is Fr. Joe :o) I gave him 10 booklets to pass out to folks who had asked him for a copy... yeah!

I must tell you all about that precious Baby Jesus prayer card we PW's pass out. I was picking up my spinach salad at Subway a little earlier & after I paid I said to the young women, "here is a tip & a Baby Jesus prayer card for you." Her eyes filled with tears & she said, "This is beautiful. Grandma used to be the one who gave out prayer cards & this is perfect!!! I just got a new car & I will keep this in it for a blessing." I said, "here is a little holy water also" & put a little on her hand. I always ask Baby Jesus to bless the folks I give His prayer card to & many times I have had experiences like this one. I'm getting Holy Ghost goose bumps telling you all about this. It is just so excellent how our great God is working through us humble servants down here!!! Thank you, Baby Jesus for touching sooo many hearts with Your little prayer card & also, thank you!!! for the media coverage Shawn tells us about. We can do nothing on our own, but You, dearest Baby Jesus, can do everything!!! Amen! (Jenny)

Day 24 - March 8, 2013

Christine & I blest ourselves with holy water, sprinkled a bit on the ground then faced WomanCare abortion mill as she read the opening prayers.  Then Maribeth arrived & we three walked along the grass area holding our prolife signs as Christine led us in the Holy Rosary reading a brief Sorrowful Mystery meditation before each Hail Mary. Then she led the Chaplet from the booklet with St. Faustina's medications on the Passion. We then faced the flag & said the Pledge of Allegiance to close our vigil. I'm glad I dressed in layers... not quite summertime yet. We heard happy honks & saw thumbs up throughout our prayer hour. No negatives this evening.

We did have one lady who drove up saying that she agreed with us, but still thought a woman should have the choice when it involves rape.  We explained that less than 1% of abortions are due to actual rape--most women who claim its rape are just fearful because of what they consented to do.  Also, it has been documented that women who carry to term and then adopt out their child conceived in rape have a better chance of healing from the trauma of being raped.  Why violate your body willingly by choosing abortion?  The lady who drove up was very friendly and took in all we shared.  Thank you God for the ability and opportunity to speak up for life! (Maribeth)

I told them I had the blessing of being able to get to the funeral home to give Mrs. Pong a big hug from all of us PW's & to let her & her son & daughter know that we will keep them & their entire family in our prayers as they go through this difficult time of Mr. Pong passing away. She hugged me so tight & said to thank everyone for all their prayers, love & support.  She just sobbed & it broke my heart but I held on to her & let her have a good cry.  They had a beautiful memory card for Mr. Pong with a great picture of him on it & some Chinese thoughts about him: Suffered hardship. Survived independently. ~ Regained self-confidence. Worked diligently toward a better life. ~ Being an honest and humble man. Fulfilled the filial duty to the parents. ~ Raised children by his example so that they would pursue their successes earnestly. ~ Treated others generously. Maintained trustworthiness and integrity. ~ Loved his family. Cared for them considerably. ~ Never expected anything in return. Was always ready to help others.  I left the funeral home thinking that we must try to live like Mr. Pong did because we never know when God will call us home. He was born in Feb 1948, so is just a bit older then me & it made me realize that every day is so precious & I must do my best each day that God gives me to make this world a better place. Shawn's message lets us know a very good way to do good in this world - pray at an abortion mill. I am so glad I am able to do so.  (Jenny)

Day 23 - March 7, 2013

Sue, our co-director, was already at the clinic waiting to join me...yeah!!! We blest ourselves with holy water & I sprinkled a bit on the ground then we faced WomanCare as she read the opening prayers after she had offered up our prayer intentions for this eveing. Maribeth arrived to join us...yeah!!!! We finished the opening prayers & started walking as we prayed the Holy Rosary with Sue reading beautiful family, pro-life meditations regarding the Luminour Mysteries. As we walked back toward WomanCare abortion mill, we could see Susan walking toward us...yeah!!! So we four PW's offered up the chilly winds, the frozen fingers & the frozen toes to God asking Him to accect our little aches & pains for the end of this evil in our world. We took turns leading the various decades of the Rosary then sang the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for the conversion of abortion doctors. Happy honks were heard now & then & a drive by screamer drove by but we sang the Chaplet louder & louder so we did not hear his words. We did pray though for all those with hardened hearts to be converted to God's the culture of life.

When Sue was reading the pro-life meditation about family life with it's hardships & joys, four young kids started walking along the piles of snow toward us & then when they got to us did jumping jacks giving us all big smiles. Such energy we all remember from our youth!!! Perfect timing to see these darling kids as Sue was reading about the joys of children to our families. This is the reason we are out here in peaceful prayer... that little ones may have the chance at life.

Shawn's updates are so great to read each night!!! They help me remember that my efforts at the abortion mill each night are pleasing to God & DO make a difference. (Jenny)
