We are into our second week of 40 Days for Life and, Praise Be To God, we have a second baby saved since the campaign began!
Last Friday, as prayer warriors walked and prayed, a car pulled up to the curb and rolled down the window to speak to them. Not knowing what to expect, the passenger waved her ultrasound picture at them, saying, "Look! My baby is waving to you!" She told them her child is due next May and thanked them repeatedly for being out there. It happened that one of the prayer warriors was wearing a precious feet pin and explained to her that it is a replica of the exact size and shape of a baby's feet at 10 weeks in the womb. "That's how far along I am," she exclaimed. The prayer warrior gave her the pin and later reflected, "You would have thought I was giving her a million dollars!"
Indeed.....the gift of prayer and witness at the time this mother was close to aborting was priceless! She had been to Planned Parenthood but then opted to check out the Women's Care Center; whether it was on her own or with urging by those on the sidewalk, we don't know. She is one happy mom today, eagerly anticipating the birth of her little one next May, and so thankful for the prayer and witness that stopped her from making the worst decision of her life. Please keep her in your prayers!
You never know what God has in store for you, particularly during those hours of sacrifice, praying for the unseen, the unheard, who cannot defend themselves. Have you given of yourself, of your time, yet during this 40 Days for Life campaign? If not, the time is now! Can you give more even if you've already given?
When volunteers were leaving India, one asked Mother Teresa if there was anything else they could do? She replied " Yes, now go home and find your own Calcutta". We have found ours.....Can you help?

Reminder Announcement: Lights For Life - Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Sun Prairie
Please join us tomorrow evening, October 7th, at Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Sun Prairie, for a candlelight prayer service to pray for the unborn and sanctity of God’s most precious Gift.... Life. This is a time to dedicate and recommit ourselves to defending the unborn, terminally ill, elderly, disabled and all those threatened by the culture of death. It is also a most beautiful way to support those who have lost a child through miscarriage and to pray for those who seek to conceive or adopt. Rosary and prayer service will begin at 7pm.
