Two Weeks...

An image of the Divine Mercy of Jesus stands across from the Madison Planned Parenthood.

We have now passed two weeks of continuous 24 hour a day prayer outside of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Madison, Wisconsin. Laus tibi, Christe! May Our Lord continue to touch hearts and bring about a renewed reverence for the gift of life!

We also certainly had some very encouraging stories from last week. Here is what one of the vigil participants told us about their experience praying outside the abortion center:

This morning a lady who had walked into the Planned Parenthood Clinic while we were praying came back out, looked at us, and said ‘I didn’t.’

I’ve been praying through Psalm 119 as a prayer for all who support abortion, that that they would turn and follow God’s laws. Today I stopped at verse 175 and prayed this for the unborn being brought into the clinic by their mothers, ‘Let me live that I may praise you.’

Another vigil participant on a different day mentioned that a young woman who went into Planned Parenthood for pregnancy testing came out to talk to those praying. She thanked them for being out there, and said their prayers worked. May the Lord be with both of these women.

In a recent story about 40 Days for Life in the Capital Times, one of the abortion center staff remarked, "If they want to waste their time standing out there that's their business." The problem with Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers, is that they have an incomplete understanding of reality, for they fail to see the importance and power of prayer. Only God has access to hearts, and only He can bring an end to abortion in America. Without prayer and without recourse to the Mercy of God, abortion will never come to an end in our country.

So we will continue to pray, especially for Madison's abortionist, Dr. Dennis Christensen.
