I am posting in regards to our next peaceful prayer vigil which will take place on Saturday, the 26th of April outside Planned Parenthood (345 Whitney Avenue New Haven) from 8am until 12 pm noon, the hours which the babies are scheduled to be killed by abortion.
Planned Parenthood of New Haven is feeling the spiritual effects of your prayers, their business is suffering, and they are responding. That is why it is so important for us to remain vigilant in peaceful prayer each week. The escorts seem to be more aggressive in trying to keep us away from the women, as fewer are showing up for abortions and others are changing their minds. Regardless of their tactics to intimidate (taking our pictures etc) please continue to remain in prayer just as Our Blessed Mother stood at the foot of the Cross silent and present to Our Lord. We must always go there and remain in the mindset that we are praying at Calvary with Jesus and Mary as our models for conduct. We do not respond to persecution with retaliation only with prayer and obedience to God. We do not yell out judgmental and angry comments to the abortionist or staff. We look to Jesus who freely became obedient for us unto death, never once speaking out against those who killed Him. This past Friday and Saturday very few women came for abortions in comparison to our usual observations and the parking lot seemed to be filled mostly with staff. Praise God! Let us continue God’s work at Planned Parenthood and witness to the love of Christ which is the only way to encourage the conversion of hearts.
Margaret Blume from Choose Life at Yale has asked me to pass on the following announcement below to all who wish to participate.
May God bless you,
