“And Joseph too went up to Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David, that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was not room for them in the inn. Now, there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” “ Luke 2: 4-14
On Tuesday, a prayer warrior who was witnessing for life that day called to share with me of a Christmas gift he’d received. He had just spent an hour plus talking to a young woman who he had been able to direct over to the Woman’s Care Center. She was in the Woman’s Care Center for about 3 hours and when she came out he was able to speak with her. She had started her day as a very abortion-minded mother. By the time she left the Woman’s Care Center and our prayer warrior, she was ready to choose life for her baby! Praise God!
We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas! We are filled with gratitude for the gift of time you all give to Vigil for Life whenever you are on the sidewalk witnessing for life.
May the beauty and wonder of the birth of the infant Jesus (God made flesh) fill your hearts this Christmas and throughout the New Year!
