Dear Prayer Warriors,
We are nearing the end of our 40 Days for Life campaign with only one more week to go. Temperatures are getting colder and it gets dark earlier but we must keep ourselves committed to finishing strong. You have done a fantastic job in responding to calls from vigil captains and parish liaisons! Keep up the good work! Spiritual warfare may come with a vengeance now, tempting us to sit back and let someone else carry the load. Excuses to not sign up for hours may cloud your perspective; don't allow the devil to impact our successful vigil so that we fail in our commitment to innocent preborn babies, mothers, AND our young people! Especially after what happened out there this past week.....
Prayer volunteers reported that an adult brought two young girls, who appeared to not even be 16 years of age, to Planned Parenthood for reasons unknown. When they addressed the age issue with the adult, she told them to mind their own business, that "they weren't her kids". Eventually they came out, laughing and joking as they got into her car. They then stopped at the driveway, dropped a condom at the feet of the prayer warriors, and drove off, laughing even more.
In the Vigil Bag is a card from American Life League: "Prayer at the Planned Parenthood Facility." Please use this whenever you are out there praying; it is a powerful prayer which calls upon the intercession of Our Blessed Mother asking her Son to close Planned Parenthood, to have mercy on the preborn babies whose lives end there or due to products sold there. It continues...."We implore you....to protect teenagers who are lured to this facility and led into lives of sin. Remove this place of evil from their lives and grant them the graces to reject Satan and to live lives of purity and chastity."
We cannot abandon or ignore kids who think that Planned Parenthood has the model for their behavior, that they have the answers and the solutions to their bad choices - contraception and abortion.
Sign up for hours this week - be there for these kids too!
