Dear Friends of the Unborn,
It looks as if we are headed towards another very cold Saturday peaceful prayer vigil tomorrow from 8 am -12 noon so please bundle up well. Though a sacrifice, we remain joyous in knowing that the cold will only intensify our prayers for these precious little ones! Thank you to all of you who have taken an hour of prayer. If you have not and would like to please respond. We are still in need of the 11:00 am hour to have coverage.
I wanted to share a few stories I found through the Ryan Report. They certainly makes those cold days all worthwhile! For now only God knows how many of these precious babies we have helped to save. Through our faith and these gifts from God along the way, it makes our fight all the sweeter! Mike and I look forward to standing in peaceful prayer with all of you tomorrow.
God bless you,
Mike and Kerry
Life saved at Planned Parenthood in New York
A pro-lifer in Albany, New York submitted this success story, which took place outside the Albany Planned Parenthood clinic. She shared this story to us through the American Life League's Map Room web page.
I pray twice a month at this PP. Although I was not there on 11-10-07 when this incident occurred, my prayer partners related it to me. A woman approached them and said that several months ago her daughter came to this PP to have an abortion. When she saw them praying, she changed her mind. The woman then showed them a photo on her cell phone of her grandson! They would not have known of this if the woman had not stopped to tell them. We have no idea how many women change their minds and we don't know about it. Thanks be to God that babies are being saved by our prayer and presence.
Babies Saved from Planned Parenthood
Of course, the ultimate reason for our work is to save the lives of babies scheduled to die at Planned Parenthood abortion mills. This year, God granted us many victories and saved the lives of a number of children because of your faithful witness outside the killing centers. Here are just a few of the accounts of babies who will be celebrating their first Thanksgiving this year, thanks to your efforts:
Three lives saved from Planned Parenthood in three weeks Thirteen people participated in the abortion-day Prayer Vigil at Sarasota Planned Parenthood in Florida. At least three people contacted Sarasota Medical Pregnancy Center after speaking with a sidewalk counselor in front of Planned Parenthood. And, for the third time in three weeks, one of those was an abortion-minded mother who decided to keep her baby.
Baby’s life saved from Planned Parenthood in Pennsylvania A Hispanic woman went in for an abortion even after pro-lifers tried counseling her; however she did take some of the pro-life literature in with her. Twenty minutes later she came back out and decided to choose life after reading the pro-life brochure in Spanish.
Babies saved from Planned Parenthood in Colorado Since January 22 of this year, members of Colorado Right to Life have reported at least seven babies whose lives have been spared because their mothers changed their minds after talking with the peaceful, prayerful protesters outside of the PP mill in Denver.
Babies' lives saved from Planned Parenthood in FloridaDuring the month of February, we received reports of at least two babies that were saved by the members of Sarasota/Manatee Right to Life. In addition, there were also several women who stopped on their way into PP and then left before ever entering the clinic.
Life saved at Planned Parenthood A life has been saved outside of a Planned Parenthood in Bryan, Texas. The mother, who was a young woman, came up to the pro-lifers at a local restaurant and thanked them for being outside of the PP because, thanks to them, she decided not to have an abortion.
High school student’s role vital in saving a baby from Planned Parenthood On Saturday, March 10, a student from Mariamante Academy in Fredericksburg, Virginia saved a baby's life in Washington D.C. As one of his teachers and some of his schoolmates looked on, Piero, who speaks fluent Spanish, approached a Spanish-speaking couple outside the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic on 16th Street and engaged them in conversation. In the end, the couple did not abort their child.
Baby saved in Nebraska Outside of a PP location in Lincoln, Nebraska, a husband dropped his wife off and the wife indicated that she had several young children at home and walked inside the abortion facility. Each Friday, 40 to 80 prayer people stand in witness to life as the abortion deaths are done. An hour later the husband pulled up again at the end of the driveway. As the woman walked past us, she smiled this beautiful smile and said, "I have changed my mind!"
The Eucharist
May the Heart of Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, be praised, adored and loved with grateful affection, at every moment, in all the tabernacles of the world, even to the end of time. Amen.

Putting Out the Fire!
J.M.J +
Dear Friends of the Unborn,
I just wanted to thank all of you who came out this Saturday to pray for the unborn at 345 Whitney Avenue Planned Parenthood. We will be covering PP again in prayer this Saturday December 1st and need to fill the hours of 8am-12pm noon when the killing of the unborn takes place. Please respond to confirm or take your hour.
As we move forward in this fight for LIFE we are reminded we are not fighting alone as we put on the armor of God and we are not fighting against merely a human cause as “For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.” Ephesians 6:12
Planned Parenthood remains the largest abortion and contraception provider and advocate nationwide. The evil which takes place in the PP facilities is nothing short of the killing and murder of innocent and helpless pre-born babies who have had their rights and lives taken away from them. Planned Parenthood stands by their support of woman’s reproductive “rights” because they claim that every child should be wanted and loved and that if a child was unplanned and a burden he or she will go on to feel that rejection. They not only facilitate one of the greatest evils of our times, that of abortion, but go on to exalt themselves for providing this option of murder to woman as a loving and merciful act to spare those children who might have been unwanted or unpla nned. They also go on to injure the woman who they lie to psychologically and physically as well as pour salt into the wounds of infertile couples who are unable to have children of their own and desperately want to love the very babies that PP kills. Below is an article illustrating the hypocrisy and evil we face in our world and especially so through the evil of PP.
Planned Parenthood Praises Passage of Children’s Health Care Bill

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Planned Parenthood Federation of America praised the U.S. Congress for passing legislation that would provide health insurance for more uninsured children and increase health care access for low-income children and families. “Planned Parenthood urges President Bush to sign this important and bi-partisan legislation that will ensure more children and pregnant women get access to quality, affordable health insurance, and not deny millions of children access to health care. President Bush has a simple choice: he can either be for children’s health care, or he can be against it,” said PPFA President Cecile Richards. Planned Parenthood mobilized tens of thousands of supporters to contact their members of Congress on the State Child ren’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) bill. Planned Parenthood also worked with governors and members of Congress on this legislation. As the leading sexual and reproductive health care advocate and provider, Planned Parenthood is dedicated to prevention and education. “The best way to build healthy families is to put prevention first — and that means making sure our children have health insurance, women have access to reproductive health care and affordable birth control, and teens have access to medically accurate information,” said Cecile Richards. “While this legislation represents a huge step forward for the health and safety of children and families across the nation, more work remains to be done,” said Richards. “Thousands of legal immigrant children, some of the most vulnerable among us, won’t be covered by SCHIP. We look forward to working with Congress in the future to make sure legal immigrant children and pregnant women have access to health ins urance.” Every year, Planned Parenthood provides millions of women, men and teens with health care information and services.
My friends in Christ,
I am posting because as Catholics and Christians it is unacceptable for us to allow Planned Parenthood or any organization to take away the right to life which God has created in these precious babies in the womb. Just because the world cannot see behind the walls of PP that does not change that tiny heartbeats are being silenced and silent screams are left unheard. It does not change that we have an obligation as Catholics and Christians to protect the least of God’s people. It is true there are those who are too sick or have circumstances which prevent this direct physical prayer of coming out to the abortion mill, but for many of us there are a million and one excuses why we might not co me out to pray at PP where the abortions take place. It is too upsetting. It causes pain to see the women. I am ashamed. I am too busy. It is too cold. Others will go and I am not needed. My prayer will not make a difference. I am afraid or uncomfortable to be in the presence of such evil. I will pray from home. The list could go on and on. There is no doubt that praying for the unborn is a sacrifice and a risk. There are so many things in our lives which demand our attention. However it is nothing short of what Jesus asks us to do in the Gospel. We know if we want to love Him and to follow Him we need to become like Him and take up our crosses as well as the crosses of our brothers and sisters who are the least of His people. Father Frank Pavone National Director of Priests for Life (forgive me for not being able to find the direct quote here) talks about the importance of going to the abortion mills to pray and stand witness for the unborn. Many people feel that it is enough for us to pray from home. However he compares abortion to a raging fire. Indicating that if there was a fire we would not try to put it out from a distance, but send the fire fighters directly out to extinguish it. Especially if it was our home we would want the firefighters right there! The unborn want and need us right there. They need us to put out that fire for them and God wants us right there serving Him and the least of His people.
The unborn need you. Their lives depend on it. The woman need you their souls and hearts depend on it. There is power in numbers and especially in prayer. Planned Parenthood and their Action Fund http://www.ppaction.org/ppvotes/main.html is standing up for who they represent. I think we all know of their leader who is the father of all lies, a liar and murderer from the beginning. It is time God’s people stand up for who we represent, Jesus Christ who is Truth. Pro-abortion advocates are not going away and PP is not going away without our constant prayer and presence at 345 Whitney Ave. Each and every one of you is just as important. If each one of you took an hour of prayer we could line the sidewalks in prayer! Could you imagine the power in that never mind the witness we could give on Whitney avenue! Over the past month we have seen God is doing His part we must remain faithful and do ours! Please respond to take an hour of prayer for this coming Saturday December 1st from 8am-12pm noon.
May the most Pure and Immaculate Heart of Mary soften our hearts to always say our “Yes” to God’s Will.
God bless you!

Will the Son of Man Find Faith on Earth?
J.M.J +
Dear Friends of the Unborn,
Thank you so much to all of you who have committed to an hour for this Saturday the 24th from 8am until 12 pm noon. If you have not already please do respond to take an hour in prayer.
God’s grace remains apparent at Planned Parenthood New Haven. Despite the evil which takes place in that building, the unthinkable horror God’s little ones endure; Our Blessed Mother remains faithful to hearing and interceding for us in response to our unceasing prayer. Despite the huge sign on the building and the immensity of its 35,000 square feet woman walking to go inside seem to find their way to one of us peacefully praying on the sidewalk. I am often touched by the very young and scared faces who ask me if I am a staff member at PP. I am also amazed by how during the 24 Hour Vigil two woman came looking for abortions after hours only to find us there on the sidewalk with the information the needed for a crisis pregnancy center. We have lifted these young ladies up in prayer and given them into the care of Our Most Holy Mother’s hands. We may never know how many women, babies, and families we will help to choose LIFE through our efforts standing vigil for the unborn; however we do know in faith that God is always faithful in hearing our desperate prayer.
Pope John Paul II described the assassination attempt by Mehmet Ali Agca as just missing his central aorta by a fraction of an inch. He stated, “One hand fired, and another hand guided the bullet.” He attributed the miracle to our Lady of Fatima as this attempt took place on the feast day of May the 13th. We standing out at PP feel also that one hand is firing the women to seek abortion through this facility and another Hand is faithfully guiding them into our path.
In Jesus’ parable of the persistent widow He urges us about the great importance for us to pray always without becoming weary.
Then he told them a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said “There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected and human being. And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, ‘render a just decision for me against my adversary.’ For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.’ ” The Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” Luke 18:1-8
As we draw close to the end of another week and ever closer to Sunday, we are yet again reminded of the glorious triumph of our Lord over death and sin. Living in a society plagued by a culture of death, especially evident in the evil of abortion, we as God’s people have the privilege to witness to Jesus’ great act of love and sacrifice on the glorious cross by standing vigil and persistently praying for the unborn. Our prayer must not cease. It is a blessing and grace that we have come to understand that through Him who is Life can only come life. It is through following Him and the Gospel message that will bring us from a culture of death to a culture of life.

Saturday's Thankgiving Vigil
J.M.J +
Dear Friends of the Unborn,
I am posting in regards to this coming Saturday’s Vigil which will take place at 345 Whitney Avenue Planned Parenthood from 7:30 am to 12:00 noon. We are in need of people to commit to an hour of peaceful prayer especially so at this holiday weekend. As we approach Thanksgiving in gratitude to God for ALL that we have been given, especially the gift of our own lives and that of our family, let us stand witness for our fragile and threatened brothers and sisters who are in danger of losing theirs. In thanksgiving let us give back to God a small sacrifice of our time and prayer in gratitude for the Ultimate Sacrifice, which is Jesus Christ Himself given up for us. Please respond to choose an hour.
I just wanted to thank all of you who on your own time have been going out to PP to say the Miraculous Medal Novena. It truly fills my heart to see how ever present the Holy Spirit is to us, ever leading and guiding. You know it is the Holy Spirit when such fruitful acts of sacrifice occur without prompting. I was also made aware by Martin that tomorrow morning at PP (which is normally covered in prayer ) will not be. So if anyone is available, has a prayer partner, and feels moved to go please do so.
Through our prayer and witness at this time of thanks, let us proclaim the gift of choosing LIFE to a woman and her baby!
Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving,
Mike and Kerry

The Miraculous Medal Novena for LIFE!
J.M.J +
Dear Friends of the Unborn,
I am posting in gratitude for the wonderful turnout we had on Saturday the 17th at Planned Parenthood in New Haven. We had almost 20 people come out to pray! One could feel the humble prayer and flowing graces in the air! We also had many friends praying from home and before our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Some who offered their sickness and suffering for the pro-life cause. The prayer was very powerful.
We continue to believe that Our lady is obtaining awesome graces to be bestowed upon the New Haven PP headquarters. We continue to pray that through God's grace, as well as our prayers, we can help to save babies lives and mothers souls. Many have told me that in going out to pray they have an unexplained feeling, compelling them and telling them that what they are experiencing is something very special. That what they are a part of through this prayer and service to God defies that which is possible by the work of human hands alone. This grace had brought many of us to the realization that we are partaking in a greater plan, that of our Almighty God through the intercession of our Blessed Mother.
In response to your great love for our unborn brothers and sisters in Christ as well as for Our Most Blessed Mother we are asking all to join us spiritually this week from your homes in the Novena of the Miraculous Medal. This Novena begins tomorrow the 19th of November and will conclude on the 27th which is the Feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Please pray this in unity with us to petition Our Lady's intercession for our pro-life apostolate as well as to put an end to abortion and contraception particularly at the New Haven PP headquarters of CT. Please also include the intention of conversion of all those who are partaking in the abortion procedures themselves, especially the abortionists. This novena is said for nine days starting tomorrow and ending on the 27th. I have included the novena below. Please join with us in petitioning our Lord through Our Blessed Mother's Immaculate Heart to bestow a miracle for us in New Haven and in our state!
O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee!
God bless you ,

Novena of the Miraculous Medal
O Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus and our Mother, penetrated with the most lively confidence in your all-powerful and never-failing intercession, manifested so often through the Miraculous Medal, we your loving and trustful children implore you to obtain for us the graces and favors we ask during this novena, if they be beneficial to our immortal souls,and the souls for whom we pray.(Here form your petition)
You know, O Mary, how often our souls have been the sanctuaries of your Son who hates iniquity. Obtain for us then a deep hatred of sin and that purity of heart which will attach us to God alone so that our every thought, word and deed may tend to His greater glory.Obtain for us also a spirit of prayer and self-denial that we may recover by penance what we have lost by sin and at length attain to that blessed abode where you are the Queen of angels and of men.Amen.

Perpetual Saturday Vigil at Planned parenthood!
J.M.J+
Dear Friends of the Unborn,
I am posting in response to the outpouring of graces we have experienced through and since the 24 hour prayer vigil held at Planned Parenthood at 345 Whitney avenue New Haven on November the 3rd. Our ability to fill all 24 hours, as the body of Christ and through His grace was nothing short of a miracle. It was such an honor and blessing to stand and pray for the unborn with such passionate pro-life men and women! All remained faithful to their hours despite the obstacle of the cold and rain! We have never been so inspired or experienced people so filled with the Holy Spirit in our lives. It was so very humbling. It is such a gift to hear the zeal in the voices of those who have come to know that God’s hand is working and upon us as we pray in New Haven.
At the prompting of several of our fellow pro-life advocates and after the awesome response of the 24 hour vigil for Life on the 3rd, we continue to believe it is God’s Will for Planned Parenthood at 345 Whitney Avenue, the State of CT headquarters, to be more intensely covered in prayer on a regular basis. In response to this call to action we are prayerfully aiming to cover all Saturdays of the month in prayer from 7:30 am to 12:00 pm noon as these are the hour that the abortions take place. It is our goal that through God’s grace, and in union as the body of Christ, our peaceful prayer presence will stand to overcome the attack on the unborn, the dignity of women, and the sanctity of family life. We hope to stand in petition for the lives of those babies who might be saved as well as in consolation and love with those babies whose lives will be taken from their mother’s womb by abortion. A love, we know, may be the only love that these babies will experience in their lives here on earth.
Please leave a comment if you and or a prayer partner would like to commit to one of the hours starting at 7:30 am until 12:00pm noon for this Saturday the 17th or any future Saturday. It has become quite clear through the efforts of God’s people, especially on November 3rd’s 24 hour vigil, that we are not afraid to stand up for our brothers and sisters in Christ who cannot speak, pray, or protect themselves. And may we know that with God all things are possible!

God's Plan for Planned Parenthood.
J.M.J +
Praise Jesus!
This past Saturday, the 3rd of November, Planned Parenthood New Haven experienced God’s plan for what He calls parenthood to be through the continuous prayers of His people. In response to the 40 Days For Life campaign’s prompting ( in Norwich and nationwide) St. Mary's Pro-life movement the Helpers of God's Precious Infants in New Haven, as well as pro-life advocates from around the state, came out to the New Haven Planned Parenthood’s headquarters at 345 Whitney Avenue to pray and stand vigil 24 hours for an end to abortion. The attempt to cover New Haven Connecticut's Planned Parenthood headquarters in a 24 hour prayer vigil starting 12 midnight on this past Saturday the 3rd until 12 am Sunday morning at first seemed a daunting job. Although we only had three days to fill all the hours we were successful and believe that it was through Our Lady's intercession and at the holy Will of Her Son that all the hours were covered and many with multiple people. We are aware this was nothing short of a miracle. Those who participated in this vigil have been so blessed and filled by the Holy Spirit on fire and graced with zeal for protecting the sanctity of human life in the unborn. We feel God is calling us together to unite to do great things through Him for the sake of His tiniest and helpless of children. We pray that this first vigil will be the beginning of an end to abortion, contraception, as well as the attack on the family. It is our continued prayer to build upon what was accomplished this past Saturday as the beginning of what God Wills for us as His body.
