Dear Prayer Warriors,

Please join us this Good Friday for Stations of the Cross as we pray for the conversion of abortionists, their employees, all who are abortion-minded, and all who live each day in a cloud of indifference. Our world desperately needs prayers for the end of this holocaust and, on this day in particular, we stand at the foot of the cross with our Blessed Mother seeking Our Lord’s protection for the preborn and asking Him to take all mothers in crisis into His care.

Come to Good Friday Stations of the Cross!

Led by Father Rick Heilman and the Knights of Divine Mercy.
On Good Friday, March 29, 2013, at 10:00am
At Planned Parenthood, 3706 Orin Rd. in Madison
Please park on the street; do not park in the Women’s Care Center parking lot. Other questions? Please contact Bette Weisshaar at 608-358-5963.

Looking ahead at the open hours in our vigil schedule, we IMPLORE your sacrifice! Many slots need to be filled, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday when abortions are done hour to hour, all day long.

If we don’t see more commitment, we may have to abandon our sidewalk presence on these critical days when we have the capability to change hearts.

Is this really what God wants? Are we doing God’s will?

Please consider what an hour a week or every two weeks or even an hour a month in witness on the sidewalk could mean to a mother looking for an alternative to taking her child’s life. What are you willing to give for a life?

Can You Help Fill These Hours?

Monday, 3/25/13: 100% filled! Praise God!
Tuesday, 3/26/13: 1 person at 9:00, 10:00, 11:00am, 3:00pm, and 4:00pm – 5 OPEN HOURS!

“Take up thy cross, the Savior said, if thou wouldst my disciple be; deny thyself, the world forsake, and humbly follow after me….For only he who bears the cross may hope to wear the glorious crown.”
