"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." (Acts 1: 8)
Jesus spoke these words to his apostles just before ascending to heaven as the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon them. We, however, have already received the Holy Spirit at our Baptism into Christ and then sealed with the Holy Spirit more completely at our Confirmation. We have been configured to Christ to be his witnesses.
Come to the sidewalk and be a witness for Christ Jesus.

Stories from the sidewalk
BABY AND MOTHER SAVED FROM ABORTION!!!!!!!!!!!
On Tuesday, 5/27, Vigil for Life prayer warriors were able to speak with a young couple and help them choose life for their baby! Praise God from whom all blessings flow! The prayer warriors exchanged contact information with the young couple so that ongoing support can take place. The mother of the young woman is still pushing her to have an abortion as are many of her other family members. The young woman has adamantly told her family that she is choosing life for her baby. Please pray for this young couple and their baby! The baby is due in January 2015.

Griswold v. Connecticut anniversary prayer vigil and event will be held outside of Planned Parenthood on Thursday, June 5 at 11a.m.
Brief history on Griswold v. Connecticut (from thepillkills.org/history.php):
"1961:
Dr. C. Lee Buxton, Yale Medical School's OB-GYN department chairman, and Estelle Griswold, executive director of Planned Parenthood, open four Planned Parenthood clinics in Connecticut, where the use of birth control is illegal. They are arrested and the Griswold v. Connecticut case begins to work its way through the court system.
1962:
Serious side effects from the pill, such as blood clots and heart attacks, begin to be publicized. Searle receives reports of 132 blood clots, 11 of which were terminal, but denies that they are caused by the pill.
1965:
The U.S. Supreme Court decides Griswold v. Connecticut by overturning the law prohibiting the use of birth control, thereby decriminalizing poison in the form of the pill."
It is no surprise that Planned Parenthood was behind the creation and legalization of the birth control pill.
Come out to hear from Emma Scuglik of Pro-Life Wisconsin and to learn more about Griswold v. Connecticut and the devastating effects of the birth control pill so you can bring an awareness of what you learn to others.

HOLY SPIRIT NOVENA FOR LIFE
By: Priests for Life
Holy Spirit,
At the dawn of creation,
You brought order out of chaos,
Light out of darkness,
Life out of nothingness.
Breathe on us once again,
And change this culture of death
Into a Culture of Life.
Inspire in your people
A spirit of generous welcome
For each and every life,
No matter how unexpected or dependent
That life may be.
Holy Spirit,
You are the Advocate.
As you fill us with Yourself,
Make us advocates
For the unborn and all the vulnerable,
Until we are all united
In the endless life and joy
of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
One God, forever and ever. Amen.
