The example of those who are praying outside of abortion clinics all around the country is edifying.  Have you heard of their success?  They are making a difference.  The following is an example of one story out of many.  This is from our local (Reno) 40 Days for Life campaign.  

We have another “SAVE” while Our Lady of the Snows covered today’s vigil!

Donna reports that this morning a Hispanic couple drove into the abortion site.  Shortly after they parked the husband walked out to our prayer warriors.  He wanted to explain that this abortion was necessary because his wife of 19 years had had an affair, there was no question that the child wasn’t his and that he just couldn’t emotionally or financially take on raising another child, especially if the child, by being tall, blond haired and blue eyed, was a daily reminder of her infidelity.

Merrie told him that Satan was surely rejoicing over the circumstances that led to his broken marriage, broken family and to the death of this child.  After further discussion with Merrie, Carol and the other prayer warriors present which included earnest urgings not to punish the innocent child with death and reminding the distraught husband that there are loving families ready to adopt the child, he expressed the wish to talk with a Spanish-speaking priest.  An urgent call to Little Flower parish was quickly made but no priest was available so Sister Carol (who was already on her way to the abortion site) was contacted and she was able to put this man in touch with Spanish speaking Sister Carmen.

The man and his wife immediately drove out of the abortion site.  We learned later that they have an appointment Tuesday with Sister Carmen.

Glory to God that this child was not aborted today! 

Please pray for this man, his wife, the child and all those who are touched by the pain created in this truly difficult situation.  Pray that if it be God’s will for this child to be adopted that a wonderful loving family is found.

What would have happened if no one had been there today?
