"We've
had enough of exhortations to be silent! Cry out with a hundred thousand
tongues. I see that the world is rotten because of silence." - St.
Catherine of Siena
The above quote from St. Catherine of Siena
rings true today especially in the wake of the release of videos exposing
Planned Parenthood's selling of organs from babies that they abort. And -
now, governmental agencies, judges and much of the administration in the White
House is trying to cover it all up. Judges have blocked release of
more of these videos until hearings scheduled later this month. Words
coming from the White House say that the videos are
"fraudulent". We know that there is truth in those videos and
we know the truth about abortion. We must not be silent nor be silenced!
We had two turn aways this past week (that we
know of)! Both times the sidewalk counselor called out to a young woman
about to enter Planned Parenthood and instead of going into PP the young woman
approached the sidewalk counselor - heard about the Woman's Care Center and
went there instead! Praise our living God!!
Please bring your peaceful, prayerful witness
for the Gospel of Life to the sidewalk this week!

We are in full planning mode for our upcoming
40 Days for Life campaign! This year's 24/7 campaign starts onWednesday,
September 23rd at 6p and ends on Sunday, Nov. 1st at 5p.
We are still looking to fill some of our volunteer positions:
Vigil Day Captain
Ensure that either 12 hours or 24 hours of
the same day each week throughout the 40 days has a presence on the sidewalk by
calling people to fill any open spots. (A great way for someone who
cannot make it to the sidewalk to still be very involved with sharing the
Gospel of Life.)
Emergency Prayer Warrior - Day (8a-6p) or
Night (6p-8a)
Put your name on the list to fill hours when
all other resources have been exhausted. You can give your availability for
getting these calls.

Psalm 146 - Trust in god the Creator and
Redeemer
Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord, my soul;
I shall praise the Lord all my life,
sing praise to my God while I live.
Put no trust in princes,
in mere powerless mortals powerless to save.
When they breathe their last, they return to
the earth;
that day all their planning comes to nothing.
Happy those whose help in Jacob's God,
whose hope is in the Lord, their God,
The maker of heaven and earth,
the seas and all that is in them,
Who keeps faith forever,
secures justice for the oppressed,
gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free;
the Lord gives sight to the blind.
The Lord raises up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
The Lord protects the stranger,
sustains the orphan and the widow,
but thwarts the way of the wicked.
The Lord shall reign forever,
your God, Zion, through all generations!
Hallelujah!
