Only Through Prayer

J.M.J +
Dear Friends of the Unborn,
I am emailing in regards to this Saturday February the 2nd’s peaceful prayer vigil which will take place outside Planned Parenthood (345 Whitney Avenue New Haven) from 8 am until 12 noon, the hours that the babies are killed by abortion. Below I have included an excerpt from the official Helpers website http://www.helpersbrooklynny.org/ which beautifully explains the importance of a constant prayer presence at the mill. It emphasizes that the most important job is that of the Prayers themselves who are invoking God’s grace to spiritually combat the evil which threatens both the baby and the mother. Thank you for coming out to pray these babies and moms need your prayer and presence more than anything.
May God bless you,
Mike and Kerry

The Mission
There are three ways that we help God's Precious Infants:
Prayer - Helpers of God's Precious Infants.
The Prayers come to the abortion mill to pray for an hour or more, on any morning that the babies are going to be killed. They carry on a most important spiritual battle, as they stand outside the mill. They praying a spirit of reparation: for their own sins; the sin of abortion; and particularly for the deaths that will occur while they stand outside on that day. They pray for women going into the abortion mill: for the abortionist and his staff; for the neighboring community; for their legislators; for the religious leaders of the nation; and for all who, through indifference, do nothing to try to stop abortion. The Prayers provide spiritual and moral support for the Sidewalk Counselors. They are essential. Before a mother is able to physically abort her child, a 'spiritual abortion' must take place within her heart. By the time she arrives at the abortion mill, she will have already rejected her child. This'spiritual abortion' must be overcome by spiritual means, before the mother can change her mind about the physical abortion. By their sacrifice and prayer, the Prayers obtain the grace of God that is needed to reverse the "spiritual abortion",while at the same time the Sidewalk Counselors are working to prevent the physical abortion of the child. The Prayers are also there to give a personal love to God's infants who will die that day. Just as John-the-Baptist was able to leap for joy in Elizabeth's womb because he was aware of presence of the love of Jesus and Mary (remember that it was at the sound of Mary's voice that he leapt in his mother's womb), so too will the babies joyfully leap in their mothers' wombs when they hear the voices of the Prayers. They will know they are loved. Assist the Mission
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy." (Mt. 5:7)Why? That we might be faithful and pleasing to God by saving the physical lives of God's precious infants through the spiritual conversion of their mothers. That we might grow closer to God by experiencing the mystery of His Cross. By denying ourselves comfort in the morning, we will better find out what Calvary is like. That we might more clearly realize Christ's personal love for each one of us, and know the joy of having responded to His call. That we might learn to pray, offer penances, abandon the results of our labors to God, and recognize that it is God's power and love which will overcome the evil of abortion and soften the hearts of those who participate.
