SPRING 2014 40 DAYS FOR LIFE: Day 36 - April 9

6:00 p.m. Prayer Vigil


(As I was driving by the mill at 2:45 this afternoon saying a quick prayer in my car, there were 6 PW's there...yay!!!)   

 This evening as I arrived, George & Daniel were there...yay!!! After blessing ourselves with holy water, we took turns reading the opening prayers. Maribeth joined us...yay!!! We walked a bit this evening then stood on the grass area near the abortion mill.  Precious Daniel opened his jacket so I could see his shirt. His dad said it was his buddy Gil's shirt & Daniel smiled & said "Gil."  He sure is doing well. Makes the sign of the cross whenever we say, in the name of the Father... & gives hugs at the end of our prayer times together & high 5's. His mom & dad should be very proud of how great  he is doing. I'm sure they are.  A young man riding his bike by our prayer group said "AMEN" Lots of thumbs up, waves & smiles. As traffic stopped, a man looked at Maribeth's sign with the 3 babies on it "The Cost Of Abortion" & pointed to it & said "THAT'S RIGHT!!! THAT'S RIGHT!!!" It was as though it just hit him~~~ that babies are being killed in there. One negative  tonight~some young women yelled "go home" & gave thumbs down. What is wrong with them?!?!? How can they be ok with killing babies in the womb?!?!? I always say a prayer to Our Blessed Mother asking her to wrap her motherly arms around these hard-hearted people & ask her to pray with me for them to brought into her Son's light & truth. That's all we can do for some folks, just pray for them. Man, our PW birds were really singing along with us tonight, especially when we sang the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for the conversion of abortionists & closing of abortion mills. We then closed our prayer time together with Pledge of Allegiance. Then good bye hugs & high 5's to Daniel, which made him smile...too precious!!!  (Jenny)

SPRING 2014 40 DAYS FOR LIFE: Day 35 - April 8

6:00 p.m. Prayer Vigil

George was already there when I arrived at WomanCare abortion mill. Eleanor & Ed prayed from their car this evening. George & I blest ourselves with holy water & took turns reading all the opening prayers. He then offered up our intentions for the Holy Rosary & we took turns leading, reading a brief Sorrowful Mystery before each Hail Mary.  Mike joined us & also helped leading the Rosary.  We then said the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with Saint Faustina's meditations on the Passion~such a beautiful way to say the Chaplet.  Mike said, "our PW birds are with us this evening." Some nights they are really!!! loud~too cute. We offered the Chaplet as always for the conversion of abortionists & the closing of abortion mills. It just hurts my heart thinking of tiny, little babies being dismembered in that evil place. Man, if he was doing that to puppies or kittens, there would be so many people out there in protest it would make the newspapers, but for unborn babies, hardly anybody is upset. What is wrong with our people!?!?! I just am thankful that more & more are finally understanding that this just has to stop. There is no reason in the world why a baby should be killed. It just sickens me. Thx to all my family & friends for your support & especially all your prayers.  (Jenny)

6:00 p.m. Prayer Vigil

Rainy weather but not terribly cold this evening. As I arrived I just missed the ladies 5pm prayer group WINGS. George was still praying there & decided to stay another hour. He said it was such a great 5pm prayer hour ~ even two of the young children led a decade of the Holy Rosary.  The 5pm prayer group also said the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. One of the ladies son's gave George a Baby Jesus Rosary to give to his son, Daniel. That was so sweet!!!      George & I blest ourselves with holy water & since it was raining quite heavily, I left my prayer booklets in my bag to keep dry. We said the Prayer for the Helpless Unborn & for all PW's the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel.  I noticed Eleanor & Ed praying from their car~yay!!! Kathy & Mike joined us...yay!! For all involved in abortion in any way, we took turns leading the Rosary & offered up our own Joyful Mystery meditation before the decade we would be leading. Maribeth joined us...yay!!! Happy honks & thumbs up from those driving by. No PW birds in this pouring rain. Maribeth offered up a beautiful closing prayer & we ended our prayer hour with the Pledge of Allegiance. We all said our good byes & gave hugs & got into our cars to dry off & warm up.  (Jenny)

SPRING 2014 40 DAYS FOR LIFE: Day 33 - April 6

Prayer Vigils - 4/6

What a day and what a sight to behold  at the clinic today.. The time may be winding down but I can see the prayer warriors powering up. Today I was lucky enough to participate in two parishes Adopt a day. The first St Thecla was lead by Fr. Mark and organized by Kathleen. There were many beautiful children who sang songs (St. Francis Prayer, Be not afraid) and did other beautiful prayers.

The other group from St Lawrence was organized by Sue and Sharon.  I was able to pray a rosary with them and checked out the beautiful signs that they had made. What a nice group they really know how to have real joy on a Sunday afternoon. 

During the changeover there were over 30 people in front of the clinic. I had to leave so I'm sorry if I missed any people. When I came back at 3:00 there were another 9 people storming heaven with their  humble prayers. Diane suggest a litany on humility. What a great prayer . It  was like an antidote for all the selfishness, greed and narcissism that is strangling this world.  (Mike)

6:00 p.m. Prayer Vigil

Denise was finishing her 5pm prayer hour as I arrived at WomanCare abortion mill. After blessing ourselves with holy water, we said the Prayer for the Helpless Unborn, then good bye hugs.  George joined me...yay!!! We took turns reading the rest of the opening prayers. Then for all involved in abortion in any way, we took turns leading the Holy Rosary, reading a brief Sorrowful Mystery before each Hail Mary. I pointed to the bird on the very top of the telephone pole & told George, "that is one of our PW birds" & sure enough, we could hear the chirps throughout the hour. For the conversion of abortionists & closing of abortion mills, we took turns leading the Chaplet of Divine Mercy reading Saint Faustina's meditations on The Passion before each decade. Together we said the Prayer for the Conversion of Abortionists & their Staffs then said the Pledge of Allegiance. Lots of happy honks, thumbs up & nods of approval from folks driving by. One drive-by screamer but I have no clue what was screamed at us~did not sound positive though.  (Jenny)

SPRING 2014 40 DAYS FOR LIFE: Day 32 - April 5

7:00 a.m. Prayer Vigil

A couple walking toward me this morning, spotted my rosary.  They stopped to let me know that they were with 40 Days in Virginia.  They prayed with me, Chaplet and beautiful spontaneous prayer from the lady.  They also asked me to pray for their son, Joshua, who is in rehab. recovering from a horrendous automobile crash. I pray that their faith and trust will be blessed. It was a tremendous blessing to me to experience their witness and faith.  (Sue K)



6:00 p.m. Prayer Vigil

As I arrived at WomanCare abortion mill, Eleanor & Ed were there praying in their car. We waved our hellos. I faced the abortion mill, blest myself with holy water & sprinkled a bit on the ground then said all the opening prayers. For all involved in abortion in any way, I said/sang the Holy Rosary reading a brief Joyful Mystery before each Hail Mary. Lots of PW birds could be heard throughout the hour from high in the trees & on the telephone wires, just too cute. For the conversion of abortionists & closing of abortion mills, I sang the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Happy honks throughout the hour.  To close my prayer time, I said the Pledge of Allegiance. Happy to say that more folks are showing up to pray for the unborn. (Jenny)

SPRING 2014 40 DAYS FOR LIFE: Day 31 - April 4

6:00 p.m. Prayer Vigil - (happy birthday Jenny -- what a blessing to celebrate your LIFE!)

I drove through heavy rain but it stopped as I got to WomanCare abortion mill.  Regina joined me...yay!!! We blest ourselves with holy water & sprinkled a bit on the ground & said the opening prayers. Huge raindrops started to fall so we huddled underneath my umbrella. A gust of wind almost knocked us back. Then another gust of wind turned my umbrella inside out. I closed it & turned it toward the wind as to not have that happen again..wow!!! get thee behind us satan!!!  we're not going anywhere!!!      Regina offered up our intentions & we took turns leading the Holy Rosary, offering up our own personal Sorrowful Mystery meditation. Just then the rain stopped & as we were getting ready to start singing the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for the conversion of abortionists & the closing of abortion mills, Maribeth joined us...yay!!! Even working late, she still made it over to be there in prayer for our precious, helpless unborn brothers & sisters...such an inspiration to us all!!! When she was taking the photos I noted that she was looking up to the wire about us... there was our darling, little PW bird, holding on tight against the wind... just wanting to be with us as we prayed/sang for the end of this horrid evil in our world. Thank you, Jesus, for sending little messages to us that You are pleased with our efforts to keep aborotion in the minds of all, so that some day soon, we will stop the killing our little unborn babies. Lots of happy honks this evening, especially during the heaviest rain/wind. (Jenny)

SPRING 2014 40 DAYS FOR LIFE: Day 30 - April 3

6:00 p.m. Prayer Vigil
Richard was already at WomanCare abortion mill...yay!!! when I arrived.  We said our hellos, shared holy water & said the Prayer for the Helpless Unborn & for all PW's all over the world, we said the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel.  Regina joined us...yay!!! Maribeth joined us...yay!!! Richard offered up our intentions & led the Holy Rosary reading a Luminous Mystery before each decade from his pro-life booklet. We also sang a song after each decade.  For the conversion of abortionists & the closing of abortion mills, he led the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.  We closed our prayer time together with the Pledge of Allegiance. The winter chill was back but we were all dressed in layers so got through the hour no problem.

Right at the beginning of our prayer time, we heard the young woman, drive-by screamer "go home." She is so angry. I said a little prayer for her hurting, angry heart. Happy honks throughout the hour & our PW birds sang along with us, quite loudly at time, from high up in the trees.  A young man was stopped by traffic with his darling little daughter in the back seat & he said "God bless you" & thanked us for being there & let us know he prays daily from home. So great to hear that lots of folks are praying for the end of this killing of our innocent unborn babies who need our continued help to keep reminding folks of their horrid last moments on this earth. I just can't believe we are doing this in America. Father in Heaven, forgive us & help us end this madness. Amen!!!(Jenny)
