Eucharistic Procession Held on Nov. 1st, 2014 was an Amazing Blessings!





What an amazing blessing it was to be a part of the Eucharistic Procession today, Nov. 1st, 2014 from St. Francis of Assisi Church in Ann Arbor to the Planned Parenthood abortion facility on Professional Drive. The sun was so beautiful and there was just enough breeze to remind us that the Holy Spirit was gently guiding our journey. We were seventy five strong from St Francis, from parishes all around Washtenaw County and as far away as Detroit praying for healing, forgiveness and mercy for all victims of abortion including mothers and fathers who very often suffer deep grief and regret over a choice they can never reverse.  We joined our voices to speak for the least of God’s people, to be a voice for the voiceless, as we prayed for the end of legalized abortion and to make abortion unthinkable. The Eucharist Procession was lead by Father Tom Wasilewski, Parochial Vicar at St. Francis. Thank you, Father Tom for leading us today. A special thank you goes out to Father James Conlon, pastor of St. Francis of Assisi for your continual support and prayers. This event was sponsored by 40 Days For Life Ann Arbor.

DAY 38 SCRIPTURE: Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than the heavens above - what can you do? They are deeper than the depths below - what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea. (Job 11:7-9)

DAY 38 PRAYER: Almighty Father, give me the humility to accept any persecution or discomfort for Your sake. The sufferings Your followers experience here on earth are so small compared to what You endured for us on the cross. Help me to seek Your holy perspective to look beyond myself and see the injustice of abortion as a worldwide crisis and You as the worldwide answer. I praise You for the many faithful leaders around the world whom You have lifted up to protect your innocent children in the womb. I ask this through Christ our Lord, amen.

PRAYER REQUEST - Please pray for Denise's family friend!

Please pray for Denise's family friend!

Hello Sandy,
I was referred to you by B. P.  She said that your group prays for couples considering abortion. 
A family friend  found out Saturday that he has fathered a child.  As with many young people these days, he says he is ‘not ready’ to accept responsibility for the child he fathered and is hopeful that the mother will abort the child.  The mother was a casual partner with whom he has no interest in establishing a family. He refers to his child as a ‘glob of cells,’ not understanding/believing that that the child is a person created by God in cooperation with him and the child’s mother.  He mistakenly thinks that an abortion will solve his dilemma…not understanding the gravity of participating or advocating such a deplorable act. And he does not understand the burden and wound he will carry for the rest of his life. Our family had the opportunity to talk with him last weekend, to help him understand how important it is to protect this precious life he participated in creating; but we are still unsure of what he will do.  We are praying for him, the mother and the child; and would implore you and your group to do the same.
Bless you for the work you do,
Denise


​Thank you all for ALL you do for LIFE!​

This Tuesday-- PLEASE Attend this IMPORTANT PICKET of abortionist Michael Roth-- who kills the unborn through 24 weeks!


Dear Pro-life Friends--  

I REALLY hope you will try hard to attend this picket of abortionist Michael Roth on Tuesday Morning, Oct. 14th

The Picket is planned by Lynn Mills--  and it would be great if you could come and be a witness for LIFE with her!  

Even if you cannot come out for the full 2 hours--  then just come to part of the picket. 

Picketing someone who willfully kills innocent unborn babies is one of the best ways the pro-life movement keeps the issue of abortion alive in the public square and puts pressure on abortionists to stop killing babies 

Tuesday 8-10        44000 West 12 mile  north side of road.  Premiere 
Medical Building
Michael A. Roth is a 24 week abortionist with hospital privileges at 
Providence Park Catholic hospital.  
Please join us for 2 hours while we expose the truth to his new neighbors.  Roth just moved her in May and maybe 
the other 30 tenants don't know what's going on inside this 'Urgent Care of 

Novi office.'  Roth shares this space with them.
