IS GOD CALLING YOU ?

J.M.J+
I am posting in regards to our next peaceful prayer vigil which will take place on Saturday, the 29th of November, 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. Please join us to to take an hour of prayer. Planned Parenthood will also be open for abortions on Friday the 28th form 8-12 noon. If you have some free time please consider taking a prayer partner with you for an hour of prayer.

If you have not before, please take some prayerful time to consider joining us this Saturday while we keep vigil for the tiny babies in the womb who are in danger of losing their lives. While we are faced with an election which has left us with a leader so pro-abortion, so pro-death, it makes one wonder what we have left to fight this battle with. Many say it is too uncomfortable for them to come that close to the evil of abortion as praying on the sidewalk in front of the mill. Offering fasting and prayer from home especially at this critical time is not enough. If you are afraid to come out to pray, if it makes you uncomfortable then I say all the more come. Come out offer that fear, that insecurity, that uncomfortable feeling and join Our Blessed Mother who is always right there praying with us and ask her intercession by saying the Rosary, a simple yet beautifully comforting meditation on the Gospel. Let us give thanks for all God has given to us in our lives. There is no better way to say thank you Jesus, than giving witness to His love for each of us, especially for the Unborn. At this holiday time when we have extra free time to relax from daily routines, let us give thanks by doing penance for the Unborn and in thanksgiving for our own children who were given to us by God, such a glorious miracle we can lose sight of it in the rush of everyday life. So if you have yet to find a way to say “thank you Jesus for my life and for all I am and all I have”, come out and join us in peaceful prayer. In offering yourself for the sake of the Unborn you draw yourself ever closer to the Innocent Victim whose died for each of us, Our Lord Jesus Christ. You draw yourself ever closer to Our Blessed Mother, the Mother of us all. You draw yourself ever closer to the tiny babies who need your prayers and your sacrifice to save them. Only in eternity can one know the effect of all the prayerful efforts that take place on the sidewalk, however we know through faith that God hears our prayers and is working miracles in our midst. It could be your prayers that save a baby this Saturday or spare a mother a lifetime of pain and grief. This email could be meant just for you. Is God calling you to help His children? God has so much in store. Join us this Saturday and say yes to God’s call you won’t be sorry you did.

A very Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours,
Mike, Kerry, Michael Mario, and Clare Marie


Planned Parenthood Issues Christmas Gift Certificates: Give the Gift of Abortion
by Steven ErteltLifeNews.com EditorNovember 25, 2008
Indianapolis, IN (LifeNews.com) -- In what could easily become the most offensive Christmas offer ever a Planned Parenthood affiliate is offering Christmas gift certificates. Purchasers can use them to give the gift of abortion even though the group claims that's not its purpose or intent.
"Looking for an unusual, yet practical gift this holiday season? Planned Parenthood of Indiana (PPIN) is now offering gift certificates for services or the recipient's choice of birth control method," the abortion business says.
The gift certificates can be purchased in increments of $25 online at the group's web site or for any amount at some of PPIN's 35 statewide facilities.
While PPIN president and CEO Betty Cockrum says they can be redeemed for contraception, birth control and legitimate medical services like breast exams and Pap tests, they can also be used to pay for abortions.
"Why not buy a loved one a gift this holiday season that they really need," Cockrum says in a press release LifeNews.com obtained. "The gift certificates are also a wonderful idea for that person in your life who puts everyone else first."
"Please join Planned Parenthood of Indiana and give the gift of health this holiday season," she adds.
According to Chrystal Struben-Hall, PPIN's vice president, buyers of gift certificates can give the gift of death, too.
She confirmed to WISH-TV that they can be used for abortions, even though that's not the intended purpose.
"They really are intended for preventative healthcare. We decided not to put restrictions on the gift certificates so it's for whatever people feel they need the services for most," she said.
Indiana Family Institute President Curt Smith told the television station he is"appaled" by the gift certificates and thinks a better way to help women is to provide financial support for the dozens of pregnancy centers around the state.
"I think the way to help family planning is to give the money where there's no agenda. So if somebody wants to help a woman at a time of crisis, they can support the life centers throughout Indiana," he said.
