During the rosary and immediately after asking God that the Holy Spirit will touch the hearts of the people in the clinic to change their mind about abortion I saw the young woman in the white Acura wave and smile as she was driven away from the clinic.   B said he read her lips and she said “I kept my baby.”  This was in response to his blessing of her with a sign of the cross!
A baby lives because of her decision for life!  Helping women to see their baby as truly “my baby” instead of as “my problem” or “it” is so important. The witness at the clinic helps do that.

Join us this Sunday (Respect Life Sunday), October 4th, from 7 – 8 PM for a candlelight vigil as we pray in front of the Community Healthcare Center of Pensacola (6770 North 9th Avenue).  The special intention for this vigil is for the conversion of the hearts and minds of the abortionists, staff, and volunteers of the two abortion facilities in Pensacola.  We pray that they might come to know the LORD OF LIFE, Jesus Christ.  Help bring the light of Christ to the darkness that these poor souls work in each day at the Community Healthcare Center of Pensacola and AMS of Pensacola abortion facilities.

Here is the first hand account about the mother who chose life today!  Praise God!

Great story to share with you from today after you and your family left. Do you remember the white Acura that pulled into the abortion clinic today (the one with the older woman driving who flipped us the finger as she drove past us with a young girl in the passenger seat)? Well later that morning, as I was saying a rosary on the sidewalk facing the street and not the clinic, the white Acura pulled out from the abortion clinic. For some reason I looked up from my prayer and saw the car pulling out. I immediately made eye contact with the young girl and gave her a compassionate look and blessed her with a sign of the cross as she was driving by. Her eyes immediately lit up and she smiled at me. Looking back at me she was happily patting her tummy and mouthed the words “I kept my baby!” as they drove away. I fist pumped a “yes!” in the middle of the rosary and startled others praying with me who asked what happened. I told them and we were so happy! It made all the time we collectively spent at the clinic today well worth while. She looked to be about 17, unfortunately she was the only happy face we saw leave the clinic today. I can’t begin to imagine the courage she showed inside the clinic today, especially with the pressure I’m sure she received from the “Driver” of the car and the clinic. God Bless, and another baby saved!!

The power of prayer!  The power of community witness!  All the more reason to go and peacefully pray, fast, and stand as a witness for life!  What are you waiting for?  Lives are depending on you.

May the peace of Christ be with you!

Today, many vigil participants witnessed a young woman, accompanied by her angry mother, walk out of the 9th avenue mill to save the life of her baby!  The young woman passed by the 40 Days for Life prayer volunteers with a big smile.  She stated she was keeping her baby!  Praise God!  Keep up the prayers.  Keep going to the 9th Avenue mill in prayer.  Miracles are happening.

If Only for a Moment (a poem of healing)

They didn’t tell me you had a beating heart; they told me you were a mass of tissue.

They didn’t tell me I would cry for you 24-years later, they told me it was nothing-you were nothing.

The room was cold-so-so cold.

Just relax, they said, there’s nothing to it.

Staring in silence-screaming inside with no place to hide, nowhere to run.

Relax I say, soon you will be out having fun. Life went on-for me that is.

Would it matter if I told you your father and I married?

Is that any consolation? How many pregnancies, how many live births?

The question stings, I wonder if acid would soothe the burn.

Then one day I heard your sister’s heartbeat for the very first time;

You were just her age when yours beat for the very last time.

What have I done? In an instant, you were real.

Would it make a difference if I told you I mourn for you still?

My Lord is gracious, forgiving and kind He took you in His arms when I chose not to hold you in mine.

One hope I hold dear to my heart; that my Lord Jesus would grant me one wish-one delight.

To hold you in my arms if only for a moment and feel the love of both of you.
