Dear Friends,
Last week I shared some not uncommon thoughts and experiences of prayer warriors out in the trenches at Planned Parenthood. The one I'd like to connect you with this week was written by Steve Karlen after his shift last Wednesday, a very busy abortion day. If you haven't been out to pray at Planned Parenthood, Steve's account will give you a glimpse of triumph and heartbreak, both allowed by God that day, both part of the battle in spiritual warfare. Be sure to read this beautiful, powerful story of how prayer and witness work hand in hand! You can find it by clicking on the link below. Then, PLEASE, sign up and fill every needed hour to counteract the culture of death!

We especially need you, MEN, for those after dark, night time hours! Be a true prayer warrior - make a commitment today. God will use you in ways unknown to you now to make a difference! We are obliged to answer His call to action and overcome the indifference about abortion and contraception so rampant today.
"Amid all the crimes one can commit against life, procured abortion has characteristics that render it especially grave and detestable...yet in our day...people have gradually lost sight of how serious it is." (The Gospel of Life, 58)
