Thank you everyone who came to our little past mid-way prayer service for 40 Days for Life Madison on October 22nd! Bishop Robert Morlino (pictured above) led the faithful in praying the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary, with about 100 others who came to join him in prayer outside of Planned Parenthood. What a blessing, to have so many praying for life at midnight, especially considering so many of those there had to go to work or school later that day!

After the bishop left, Fr. Eric Sternberg from Waunakee led those remaining (about 50) in the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. The weather was surprisingly warm for this time of year, but it was great to have so many people there. The crowds began to disperse at about 1:00 a.m.

I wish I could have made it when Bishop Morlino was leading everyone in the Devine Mercy Chaplet. I had to work very early the next day. It is very nice to meet some great people who are also deeply dedicated to saving innocent lives. I will also pray for the deeply wounded people who have suffered through an abortion. They need to remember that God is a loving God and he will change hearts and minds if we ask for his mercy and forgiveness! I pray for people like Dr. Christenson and the man on the bicycle that questioned us for being there. He asked us "What about the seperation of church and state?" All of us answered him graciously and told him that the U.S Constitution protects us all. Also the seperation of church and state does not exist. Thank you all for participating in this historic event! Together we can hopefully end one of the worst atrocities of our time! I was deeply moved by all of the participants around me and the Holy Spirit was upon us!
Actually, Bishop Morlino left after the Rosary. Fr. Sternberg led the Divine Mercy Chaplet several minutes after that.
