HOME: Welcome to 40 Days for Life



Fr. Christopher Coman and fellow parishioners of Resurection of the Lord Catholic Church, Standish, Mi., pray outside the abortion clinic in Saginaw, Mi on Sat., Oct. 22.


Half Way Mark - Our Lord has surely intervened!

         

We have just passed the half way mark of the 40 Days Campaign in Saginaw, Mi.  The campaign has brought a great awareness of the abortion facility in Saginaw Twp.  Traffic by the clinic had increased the first couple weeks of the campaign due to a major adjacent street being closed off.  Much support was shown by people passing by, honking of horns, thumbs up, curious individuals wanting to know what was going on.  The majority of people had no idea there was an abortion clinic in this area.  We have had many positive reinforcement from the community, below is a recap of some of our encounters:

 

  • A lady stopped and gave one of our prayer warriors a hot chocolate.  
  • Two ladies were pulling into the clinic parking lot, we waved and they stopped to ask what type of business this was since they saw our signs and prayer volunteers there.  We informed them this was an abortion clinic.  They were sales reps. from a local large distributor making cold calls to businesses in the area. After a lengthy discussion and dialogue, they stated, "we're not going in there, we don't want there business".  
  • We have had a number of clients stop and take our "help" brochures allowing them to have information they otherwise would not receive.  
  • The workers at the clinic have acknowledged us on several occasions, with a wave, or "good morning".  We always let them know we are praying for them too.
  • We have witnessed a number of turnarounds on abortion days; we're almost sure they changed their mind, but didn't stop to tell, just waved, smiled and pulled out of the clinic.  

 

Our Lord has surely intervened!  Please join us at the vigil sight for prayer, your prayer and presence changes hearts and saves lives of innocent babies.




Day 1:  A strong start with one life saved

Our first full day of the 40 Days for Life campaign started out with a save.  A group of us stood outside Women's Choice Abortion Clinic praying.  While doing so a young lady pulled into the clinic; we made eye contact with her and waved to her with our 40 Days for Life signs displayed behind us.  She drove her car to the back of the parking lot and never got out of the car.  After a little while she started the car back up and drove out past us and waved and smiled as she left.  Our presence and prayers are being heard and answered.  Please continue to pray with us during the next  39 days that many lives will be saved. 




YOU can help save lives!


This fall, from September 28 - November 6, our community will be joining together with many others for the largest and longest coordinated pro-life mobilization in history -- the 40 Days for Life campaign.

40 Days for Life is a focused pro-life effort that consists of:

  • 40 days of prayer and fasting
  • 40 days of peaceful vigil
  • 40 days of community outreach

We are praying that, with God's help, this groundbreaking effort will mark the beginning of the end of abortion in our city -- and throughout America.

Take a stand for life

While all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible component is the peaceful prayer vigil outside the local abortion (or Planned Parenthood) facility.

Daily Intentions
November 5, 2011
Pray that God will continue to bless the efforts that have gone into the 40 Days for Life campaign, as we
trust Him for the results.
Prayer to End Abortion
Father, all life is in Your care.
You have entrusted us to one another

that we may show our brothers and sisters

 the same love You have for us.
We pray, then, for the least among us,

The children in the womb.

Protect them from the violence of abortion.

We pray for those that are scheduled to die at

Women's Choice Abortion Clinic.

Save them from death.

Give new hope to their parents, that they
may turn away from the desperate act of abortion.

Grant conversion to the abortionists
and to the staff,
Show us how we are to respond to the bloodshed
in our midst,

And lead us to the day when this place of death
Will be transformed into a haven of life.
Guard us with your joy and your peace,
For in You, life is victorious.
We pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
