Saving Her Children

J.M.J +
Dear Friends of the Unborn,
I am posting to thank all of you who have committed to an hour of prayer or are coming out with the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants for tomorrow December the 8th’s peaceful prayer vigil at 345 Whitney Avenue’s Planned Parenthood in New Haven from 8am-12 pm noon. For those of you who wish to participate and have not taken an hour of prayer please respond. I am excited to tell all of you that we are now officially listed as a peaceful prayer protest at the American Life League’s website at http://www.all.org/stopp/maps/display.php?region=ct&PHPSESSID=d3e44b2649126366388bd4c9c78b7cb3
If you click on the New Haven PP location on the map you can see our information. We are now the second PP site listed in the state of Connecticut. The other is the 12 Case St. location in Norwich which recently hosted the 40 Days For Life this past Fall. This is awesome news because both Norwich and New Haven are 2 of the 4 PP's in CT which provide surgical abortions and we have them both covered. We all know that an abortion whether surgical, medical, or chemical is the same equally horrendous act of murder and therefore we continue to pray that all of our CT abortion clinics will become vigil sites. However it sends a powerful message to society that God has chosen these two facilities to be covered in prayer on a consistent basis. It is a great victory and honor at the hand of God that we should be able to cover the State headquarters at New Haven in a prayerful presence because we know more than anything that praying for the unborn on the front line is truly God’s work. We are allowing miracles to work through us as we pray becoming instruments directed by His hand. How awesome to become a vessel for His grace!
Below I have copied and included a story from Families Against Planned Parenthood website to keep fresh in our minds that God can use us to work miracles. The Holy Spirit wants to flood our hearts with grace and love causing them to overflow in prayer for these women, babies, men and families. The more people I speak to the more we all feel that something big is happening in the pro-life movement nationwide. We all felt this in the 40 Days For Life and we feel it now quite powerfully here in New Haven. Even those who are not consciously aware of the prayerful haven we are creating through God’s grace, say they cannot explain this feeling of optimistic change in the air. All of us know that we are s imply following where our Lord is leading us and He is changing the hearts of men and woman. We are remaining faithful servants on the front line and He is saving souls and lives by the healing grace of His hand. Tomorrow is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, and I could not close this email without conveying the many graces which are and will be distributed through Our Blessed Mother’s most beautiful and Immaculate heart! I cannot help but to call to mind how many times Our Lady has saved me and my family through her intercession. We will never know in this lifetime how many times Our Lady has protected and saved our children from harm. Now it is time that we help to save hers. And help her in her only wish and desire, to lead all s ouls to her Son!
God bless you!

When I arrived at the Planned Parenthood facility this morning I saw every entrance into the shopping center had pro-lifers with pictures of babies who had been aborted. It was very cold and starting to snow, the people we relieved in front of the clinic were happy to see us and spoke to us about a couple they believe turned away and did not have an abortion. We were encouraged and began to pray and to try to speak with those going in.
Several young couples went into the clinic. Pretty soon one came out again and started walking to their car, I asked them to come talk to us and the man (boy?) waved as they got in their car. As they came out of the driveway, he rolled down his window and spoke, saying "we decided not to go through with it."
Smiling widely, I thanked them and offered them the information on places that could help them with the pregnancy crisis. I told them God would bless them for this decision and we spoke of all the people that were praying for them and who wanted to help them. Both were smiling, the girl with a brightness in her eyes that could only be unshed tears. The boy thanked me and they drove away. Please continue to pray for this couple!
Today I know at least two babies lives were saved by our presence. I feel honored and blessed to be used by God in such a way. Please, when you are discouraged, cold, and feeling like we are getting nowhere, remember that each minute we are out there, a baby, a mother, and a father may be saved - in more ways than one! May God Bless you and keep you warm!
