Open Hours on Tuesday & Wednesday - BOTH ARE ABORTION DAYS

Christ is risen! Alleluia! Alleluia!

We hope that you are all continuing to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus!

We just found out some more good news! Here it is as reported by Shawn Carney of 40 Days for Life: 

BREAKING NEWS: Two of the three abortion facilities where 40 Days for Life campaigns have been held in the metropolitan Mexico City area were just shut down.

One was the nation's leading abortion center, a Marie Stopes facility in the Roma neighborhood. It was shut down by the government for numerous violations, following the just-completed 40 Days for Life campaign, and the building is now plastered with giant infringement signs.

The second abortion facility, in Coyoacan, abruptly closed on its own and has now been removed from the Marie Stopes abortion chain website.

The local 40 Days for Life prayer volunteers are thanking God for these developments ... and praying that these closures remain permanent.

PRAYERS FOR ABORTION FACILITIES TO CLOSE ARE BEING ANSWERED! We are always hopeful that the Planned Parenthood on Orin Rd. in Madison will be the next one to close its doors. The breaking news above tells us that God works through prayer warriors witnessing for the GOSPEL OF LIFE outside of abortion facilities. We have MANY open hours this week. Your prayerful presence is URGENTLY needed.

MORE PRAYERS ANSWERED BY GOD

One of our prayer warrior/sidewalk counselors relayed a story of prayers answered this past week. When he was on the sidewalk this past Tuesday, he spoke with a woman who was at Planned Parenthood. The woman said she remembered him from having spoke with him last year on that same sidewalk. 

Last year, she was there with a daughter. This sidewalk counselor had reminded them that, "God loves you". Five minutes later the mother & daughter went over to the Woman's Care Center across the street. Our prayer warrior/ sidewalk counselor had always prayed for the women to choose life for the baby and had often wondered if he would ever know of the outcome before his next life. 

Our prayer warrior/sidewalk counselor asked the woman if life was chosen. She confirmed that, "Yes" life had been chosen and she now had a grandchild. The baby was born on January 23rd (one day after the Roe v. Wade anniversary). She also confirmed that when our prayer warrior/sidewalk counselor reminded them that "God loves you" had a lot to do with them leaving Planned Parenthood and going over to the Women's Care Center. 

Our prayer warrior/sidewalk counselor was overcome with joy upon hearing this news and praised God! In his own words: "I began to cry and hugged her and told her that I have been praying that that girl went through with keeping the baby and I often wondered about her. I thought I may never know till the next life."

Also, in his own words: "Thank you God for letting her choose life. I want to welcome Vance (the baby's name) into this worId. I'm not taking credit for anything but you know we have to speak up and three words changed that girl's mind. ... 'God loves you'. And you know what? It's true .God does love her. He loves us all .Please go out to Planned Parenthood and pray and witness .Please. .... everybody! Thank you for letting me share my testimony. I love you all .God bless you. And pray to end abortion!"

An Original Easter Prayer
by Fr. Dominic, SCJ

"This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad." (Psalm 118:24)

Father in heaven, through the resurrection of your Son,
Jesus Christ, you have destroyed sin and death.

Jesus has given us new life, new hope and the promise
that you will be with each one of us on our spiritual and
joyful journey to your kingdom...a kingdom of truth and
life, a kingdom of holiness and grace, and a kingdom of
justice, love and peace.

Help each one of us now to continue to walk as children
of the light and be a living example of the Gospel for all to
see and hear.

We pray that the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus be with
us always so that we can share His love.

Amen.
