Lord Jesus, open my eyes to your presence in the life of every child. Open my heart to joy in the birth of every child, a birth that reflects the joy of your own birth in Bethlehem. As you shared life in the womb of Mary, so now send your protection upon every child still in the womb, and grant to their mothers the strength and joy that comes from welcoming the gift of life. We ask this in your Holy name. Amen.

83 open hours this week!

Dear Friends of Life –

For those of you who were not able to make it to the mid point prayer vigil this past Wednesday:
 Thank you to so many who have come out to witness for LIFE!  It makes such a difference!  Overall, this Planned Parenthood is less busy when we have a 24/7 presence. We Praise God for all his many blessings in this campaign so far.
From this location, we have confirmation of 1 mother and baby saved from abortion and worldwide there have been confirmations that 215 mothers and babies have been saved from abortion during this fall campaign.  Because it is a rarity that mothers will return to us and let us know they chose LIFE – we know that the number is MUCH higher.  Our presence MATTERS!
Our next event during this campaign will be on Monday, Oct. 29th at 6 p.m. –  on the sidewalks around Planned Parenthood.  We will hear from Shawn Carney, Matt Britton and Steve Karlen from the 40 Days for Life Organization.  We will also hear from Sue Thayer – a former Planned Parenthood facility manager.  After she left Planned Parenthood, she led a 40 Days for Life campaign outside of the very Planned Parenthood where she used to work.  We look forward to hearing from all of them.
Although Bishop Morlino was not able to be with us that evening, he sent word that he wants to assure you that he is praying with and for you and that you have his support and gratitude for your beautiful witness.
We were blessed that evening to have Fr. Jorge Miramontes with us to lead us in prayer and to give us some encouragement.
We are in need of your presence on the sidewalk this week!

Eternal God, creator and sustainer of life,
bless us with the courage to defend all life
from conception to natural death.
Bless us with the strength to respect all peoples
from east to west, from north to south,
so that we may truly follow the call of Jesus to be neighbor.
We ask this in the name of Jesus,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit.
Amen

78 open hours!

A special THANK YOU to all of the wonderful men who have stepped up and taken on so many of this campaign’s overnight hours.  Sunday (today) is Day 19.  We have 21 more days to go of this beautiful campaign.

 
As you know, this past week was a rainy one.  Thanks to all who dealt with some pretty heavy rain to witness for LIFE! One group of 7 who were out on Oct. 10th gave witness outside during a very heavy 45 minute downpour.  After the heavy rain ended, God rewarded them with a full rainbow!  His love never fails!
 
Can you give your witness for LIFE on the sidewalk this week?

40 Days for Life mid point Prayer Vigil 
 
Please join Fr. Jorge Miramontes (of Holy Family Parish in Waterloo & Marshal) for our 40 Days for Life mid point prayer vigil at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 17 on the sidewalk outside of Planned Parenthood, 3706 Orin Rd., Madison.  We will praise God for all he’s done so far with this current campaign and pray for the strength and perseverance for finish it well.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If I have despised the cause of my male or female servant when they complained against me, what then shall I do when God rises up? When He punishes, how shall I answer Him? Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?  

—Job 31:13-15

God, forgive us when we try to explain away the obligation we have to help others who need help. Enable us to not devalue them because they are in the circumstance that they are in, but to see them for who they are, those, who like us, were formed by your hand in their mother’s womb. Amen.
