40 Days For Life New Haven

J.M.J+

I am posting to those who wish to pray to end abortion through the 40 days for Life campaign. 40 days of fasting and peaceful prayer vigil is taking place around the USA simultaneously in 80+ cities outside of Planned Parenthood. Here is a link to explain if you have not already heard of this history making pro life event! http://40daysforlife.com/splash.cfm
It is very exciting because this is the biggest pro life vigil ever held and to be involved in any way is being part of something that our kids or grand kids will someday be reading in their history books as the beginning of the end of abortion. My husband and I have decided at the prompting of 40 Days for Life to organize a 24 Hr Vigil in front of Planned Parenthood right here in New Haven CT On Saturday the 3rd ! We need people to come and stand vigil and pray with us for an hour or more. I know you might be feeling reluctant especially if you have never done a pro life vigil before, however I can assure you you will not be standing alone. In numerous cities men and woman will be standing with you in prayer and most importantly God and Our Lady will be standing with us. Serving God and standing up for the unborn in this peaceful witness is what Jesus is calling us to do in the Gospel. Whether or not people admit it abortion kills babies and hurts women. I spent and hour on the phone today with a woman who sobbed to me about the loss she felt about the children she had aborted. She kept saying how much she wanted her babies back, could I get them back for her. She said how she was lied to and did not understand what she was doing. I heard the despair in her voice of what happens to a woman when she is lied to, her baby is killed, and then goes on to learn how she was so betrayed. She kept saying that they took a piece of her soul that day. That one conversation would be enough for anyone to be confident that the pro abortion movement does not give woman choice but takes that away from them along with the hopes and dreams of mothering the child they carried within.

In response to 40 Days for Life's call to branch out to other PP in our state we are blanketing the New Haven PP as well with our prayers. Here is an excerpt below I received in email.

***SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, UNITY VIGIL ACROSS AMERICA***

Every Saturday, there are an estimated 8,000 abortionscommitted in the United States, making it the busiest abortion day of each week. But this Saturday, November 3 -- Day 39 of 40 Days forLife -- is going to be different. In addition to a big final push in each of the 80+cities holding 40 Days for Life campaigns, we are asking people of faith and conscience all across America to form a simultaneous 24-hour peaceful prayervigil outside of every Planned Parenthood center and abortion facility possible. This Saturday, please take some extra time out of yourday to be one of the tens of thousands of people -- incities and towns all across America -- who will join together as part of this "Unity Vigil. "Your peaceful witness can make a tremendous life-saving impact and help make history at the conclusion of this fall's 40 Days for Life effort".

Michael and I have decided to try to pull together all of our brothers and sisters in Christ in order to organize a 24 hr vigil of peaceful prayer this Saturday in New Haven (345 Whitney Ave New Haven CT 06511)starting at 12 am on Sat through till 12 am Sun. These past 40 days have been the biggest pro life anti abortion prayer campaign in history! This Saturday it is the hope of men and woman from all over the country that through God's grace as many PP's as possible should have witnesses for Christ visible in peaceful prayer. The goal is to save babies lives while sending the message, not only to PP but the world ,that this evil we call abortion will no longer be tolerated by God's people. We ask for prayer now in order to fill all 24 slots as well as for protection and cover for all who are praying. But most importantly we need volunteers to take an hour slot of prayer to keep the vigil going. If you have others who might as well have interest in filling an hour, please do respond or pass this along. Thank you in advance for all your prayers and we hope that together we can fulfill this goal to bring Glory to God through saving the lives of the unborn.
God Bless,
Kerry
