Praying at planned parenthood in worcester today I spoke with some men who I met thier on a previous Saturday, seems they are planning to be open for business on Holy Saturday. I told jim to email me and let me know if thier were people going up next Saturday to vigal. I told Jim wouldn’t it be nice if we were thier next Saturday too. Planned parenthood in worcester is probably thinking this is the last weekend but God willing we will have a big suprise for them next Saturday. Please pray for us involved in 40 days for life in worcester, Ma that God will call us together again after the offical 40 days is over so they know we are not going away ever.

Isaiah 11:6
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

The sight of that child holding a sign and the expression on his face brought tears to my eyes and a prayer to my heart: God, help us all.

I have been blessed to follow and pray for the “40 Days For Life” vigil.
There was not a site in my city but “the prayer of a righteous man availeth much”. We can pray. I have been touched and at times brought to tears by the daily updates and the stories of God’s people standing with courage and humility. God Bless all of them!

Bringing the family is so important. It can be difficult and I have had to pray harder when someone yelled to my 14 yr. old son, “Your mother should have aborted you!” I think to the terrible things that were yelled at Jesus and realize that we are asked… actually blessed… to be called to witness the same. There is no doubt that Jesus is with us at those killing fields and He weeps with us. As for an end to abortion, I am sure that the slaves in the 1700s never thought that an AFrican American would become president one day….
We shall overcome!

Yesterday we prayed as a family, myself and my three children in front of the abortion clinic in Manassas, VA. We were there with one other lady. We brought 2 big wooden crosses that we made ourselves and a poster of unborn babies in different stages of development. Out of all the times we have been there, we never had the experience of people being rude to us, but yesterday it was different. Three different cars yelled at us vile words, becoming very angry, I wondered why, and it dawned on me that the only difference is that we were holding those 2 crosses. I would say the devil gets mad when we show the cross to the world and that is why these people (they were all males) reacted the way they did. We just kept praying the rosary and smiled, my children were surprised by these people behaving the way they did and we felt somewhat uncomfortable, but we offered the insults and the small discomfort for the babies and the parents who had to do anything with this abortion clinic, we also offered it for the people who work there, so they will have a change of heart, and for our family members who are for abortion. We felt somewhat vulnerable because we were alone but we asked strength from God and we felt stronger. I noticed that my 13 year old son James got more convicted of praying right after we got insulted. I could tell his determination when he started praying for all his family members that are not for life. We will continue to bring the crosses, because we really had an impact on people. I know there were people who were touched by these crosses in a good way, even if we could not see them. God bless all of you for your good work and keep on fighting the good fight! Can’t wait for the next 40 Days for Life Campaign.

There are other groups besides “40 Days ‘ praying outside of abortion “mills” besides yours. The group of 9 that I pray with have been meeting once a week to pray the 4 decates of the rosary for years now. Wednesday was my first day at the Women’s Health Clinic. It isn’t an official site & we don’t have any of your signs. One of our group sits right at the corner of the street with a picture sign of an aborted baby. Surprisingly the staff don’t harass him or call the police. I’e been following your crusade on the internet, now this is my first time to actually get out there and pray. It makes me feel special. The number of babies saved this time is less than last time, could it be that the mothers are giving more thought to keeping their babies than rushing out to the local clinic?
