That knowing theshortness of life, all may value it more deeply.

Remember your Creatorbefore the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitchershattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the well. Then the dust willreturn to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it. —Ecclesiastes12:67

God is giver of all life. Short lived or long lived, human livesare lived out in this world. The metaphors for death are many. But theirmeaning is clear and singular: all will die. Even so, death is not the absoluteend. It is not the end of the story. For as certainly as God gave life, atdeath the life or spirit that God gave returns to God. By God, we are created.For God, we live our given days. To God, we return at the end of our earthlydays. And with God, we live through eternity.

Clearly, all along the way, this gracious, loving God is withus. No human life is random or alone. No human life was created withoutpurpose. Not one human life is without destiny. All human lives, acknowledgedor not, are related to God ‐‐ from beginning, to end, throughout eternity.Therefore, in this world, all human lives are to be respected and protected,for their lives are signs of God’s sovereignty.

Nationwide38 Lives Reported as Saved

While Jackie was praying at the 40 Days for Lifevigil in GREENLAND, NEW HAMPSHIRE, a car slowly pulled up in front of theclinic. The driver rolled down the window and said, "I don't know whatyou're doing here; but whatever it is, it's working!" The driver went onto say the abortion center had let employees go because business was off.

All Jackie could say was, "Praise God forvictories!"

The staff at yet another abortion center hasshrunk by at least one. But this wasn't a layoff. This was a clinic nurse whowalked out and quit! Angela of the 40 Days for Life team in GRANITECITY, ILLINOIS said the abortion facility nurse came out and hugged her."Thank you for praying for me," she told Angela. "Your witnesshas been powerful to me. This is my last day! I'm going off to do what realnurses should be doing." With that, she walked to her car and drove away. This is the SECOND abortion worker to quit duringthis 40 Days for Life campaign! And yes, there are amazing stories to share aboutbabies saved from abortion as well. Thus far in this fall 40 Days for Life campaign,we've received reports of 38 mothers who changed their minds and chose life.And of course, those are just the ones we know of!
Here are just a few of those stories:

In HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, Al reported that while people were praying at the 40 Days for Life vigil across from the abortion center, a man came over with asimple message: "Thank you!" His niece had been scheduled for anabortion. But after seeing the group praying, she simply could not go throughwith it.

In WASHINGTON, DC, Dick tells of a young couple who walked into the PlannedParenthood abortion facility. Volunteers at the 40 Days for Life vigil didn't havemuch time to talk with them on their way in. But after an hour or so, they cameback out. "They said they changed their minds about having anabortion."

InPENSACOLA, FLORIDA, there was another situation in which just the sight ofpeople praying outside made a profound impact. Ernie said an SUV had pulled upto the clinic entrance, where the 40 Days for Life vigil was in progress. Thecouple inside just stopped, took another look, and drove away without evergoing in.

The 40 Days for Life team in EL PASO, TEXASreceived a special blessing. Sandra said a woman drove up to the vigil andwanted to talk about the day she decided not to have an abortion. At the time,she saw her pregnancy as something that would just get in the way of herpromising career. But the day of her appointment, people had beenpraying outside the clinic. When she saw that, she stopped and asked herself,"What am I doing here? This is not right!"As she continued her story, the young woman rolleddown her car window, pointed to the child in the car seat and began to cry."Thanks to you all," she said, "I have this beautiful son!"

"You could imagine the feeling," Sandrasaid. "I believe at that moment everybody was crying with her." Thegroup prayed for the mother, her child and for all her family. "We ask Godto continue blessing them and thank Him for this wonderful gift of life."

Prayer DOES work. And sometimes, you don't have tosay a word. Let's keep itup!

Impressionsof the Sidewalk from two First Time Prayer Volunteers

Ireceived two messages from volunteers today, that I thought were worthsharing.The first was from a reader who has been on ourdistribution list since January 2008.She wrote:

While I havepreviously prayed 1st Saturday rosary at the Reno abortion clinic, I have neverbeen out during the 40 Days for Life.I did my first hour Fridaynight at 10pm as part of Immaculate Conception adopted day.I couldsense such evil!   It was powerful to pray there for the end toabortion and the conversion of the doctor.

Thesecond comes from a team member who has been helping quietly behind the scenes,but hasn’t previously been out to pray at the sidewalk.She wroteto say:

This issue hasbeen close to my heart for a long time, but to be honest, participating invigil Friday has put this front and center in my heart now.   I’mstill really busy with work, but this is an obsession now!

Thisis the response I’ve heard time and time again, so to receive two messages in asingle day, each indicating the same thing comes as no surprise.Iwish there was a way I could bottle the experience and send a copy to each ofyou so you could experience it fully right from the comfort of your livingroom, but this is something you’ll simply need to experience foryourself.For some the emotion is a sense of the heaviness of whatgoes on, for others, there is a profound sense of being with God, as we standin union with Him at this dark corner of our region.

Ibelieve that when we go to the sidewalk and Pray to End Abortion we eachare given a special grace so that we can better address the issue ofabortion.Because we are each called to play our own particularrole in this effort, that grace varies from person to person, and thus theexperience also differs.How is God calling you tohelp?What role are you meant to play?

Butplease remember, it is the prayer and fasting which are the most importantcomponents of our campaign.And if you are unable to get to thesidewalk, your prayer and fasting from afar still has infinite value, as theyare received by God, an all powerful, all loving, all merciful Father.

Sendyour impressions of your time at the sidewalk to renotahoe@40DaysforLife.com.

SidewalkCovered Monday by St. Thomas Aquinas Cathedral

Weare blessed that parishioners from the St. Thomas Aquinas Cathedral have signedup to cover the sidewalk with prayer tomorrow, even through the abortion site isnot expected to be open for business.But a sad observation we havenoticed while at the sidewalk is that more women appear to be returning formultiple visits to complete their abortions.This seems to suggestthat Dr. Stutes is doing late term abortions, at least into the 2ndtrimester.Please pray that these mothers learn the facts of fetaldevelopment so that they will appreciate the life that is growing within andrecognize their responsibility to love and protect their innocent unbornbabies.

VigilVolunteers Needed on Tuesday

Canyou spare an hour on Tuesday, especially during the day, while others are atwork?We thought we had the sidewalk covered by a church, but itfell through and we’d like your help to fill the schedule at the last minute. Please go on-line and register to pray for an hour.To register forthe hours when you’ll be at the sidewalk, go to: http://www.vigilcalendar.com/renotahoe Ithank you in advance for your support.

40 Days through Scripture

Day6: Mark 1 – 6 (including:  Mark 1:16-20

As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simonand his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they werefishermen. Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make youfishers of men.” Then they left their nets and followedhim. He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son ofZebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat, mendingtheir nets. Then he called them. So they left theirfather Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.

This is a time when men and women arebeing called to follow our Lord to participate in bringing abortion to anend.I’ve heard that many have been called, and yet few are chosen. Is it because only a few are answering the call?What have you beencalled to do?How have you replied?

NewPush for Legal Definition of 'Person' and to Outlaw Abortion

Someabortion foes think the rationale for Roe vs. Wade is vulnerable. They'retrying to amend state constitutions -- including California's -- to definepersonhood from conception.

[Los Angeles Times, September 28, 2009, By Robin Abcarian] – It is one of the enduring questions of religion and science, and lately ofAmerican politics: When does a fertilized egg become a person? Abortion foes, tired of a profusion of laws that limit but donot abolish abortion, are trying to answer the question in a way that they hopecould put an end to legalized abortion. Across the country, they have revived efforts to amend stateconstitutions to declare that personhood -- and all rights accorded humanbeings -- begins at conception.

From Florida to California, abortion foes are gatheringsignatures, pressing state legislators and raising money to put personhoodmeasures on ballots next year. In Louisiana, a class at a Catholic high schoolis lobbying state legislators as part of a civics exercise.

"We have big and small efforts going on in 30 states rightnow," said Keith Mason, co-founder of Colorado-based Personhood USA."Our goal is to activate the population."Read the fullstory at LATimes.com

For those interested in Petitions for the State of California,contact Carol Marie. Walter Hoye is one of the leaders for thiseffort in the state.I will contact him and get copies for anyoneinterested in distributing them.For those interested in petitionsfor the State of Nevada, I do not have a Northern Nevada contact to whom I canrefer you.If you are interested in being the point person here,let me know and I will put you in touch with the folks who are organizing thiseffort in Las Vegas.

NationalCampaign Daily Intention

We ask God that we may understand the concept of justice, as agift he gives and as a responsibility that shapes our work.

Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never‐failingstream!
 —Amos 5:24 —

Justice, a key theme of the Scriptures, is something God doesand that we too must do. When God intervenes to save his people when they are helplessand in slavery in Egypt, he “does justice.” He manifested his justice in the plagues that were sent uponEgypt, whereby Pharaoh was convinced that he must let the people go. Justice is manifested as, in awe and wonder, God’s people seethe Red Sea open before them, allow them to pass without even getting theirfeet wet, and then close again to drown their powerful enemies. God is a God of Justice; he rescues us when we cannot saveourselves. His justice, above all, is seen in Jesus Christ, who, when wecould not save ourselves, rescued us from the kingdom of sin, Satan, death, andhell. The mighty work of Christ on the cross and in the resurrectionis the perfect manifestation of God as the God of justice. We, then, are to bethe people of justice; we are to “do justice” by intervening to save the helplessin the name and by the power of the God who saves us who are helplessourselves. That’s why we have a pro‐life movement; that’s why we have a 40Days for Life Campaign; that’s why saving the unborn is our business.

"Godis working in more ways than we can imagine."

That subjectline jumped out from the hundreds of e-mail messages that pour in to my inboxevery day.The story thatfollowed certainly offered proof!

The writertold of her daughter, who was raised in the church and grew into a youngteenager who "was more spiritual than I ever thought I could be. She wasso mature in her faith and her relationship with Christ. It amazed me howsomeone so young could 'get it' even more than I. She used to drag her friendsto church activities and pray for them all the time. She even went on a missiontrip."

As is theunfortunate case with many young people, there also came a time of rebellion.In the 11th grade, she got involved with a group at school thatdidn't exactly practice Christian principles. "It influenced her walk withGod and she drew away from Him," this mother wrote, "to the point ofleaving church and moving in with her boyfriend at the end of her junior year."This young man"does not approve of our deep faith in God and we do not get along withhim very well at all," she wrote. But her daughter did finish school.Later, she andher boyfriend got married.

Soon afterward, the young wife became pregnant, and thecouple's financial situation was pretty shaky. They even had to turn tocharitable assistance to make it through this time.The mother whowrote this story is now a grandmother -- her daughter's little girl is anincredible blessing, but she said her son-in-law hasn't been much help. Withthe arrival of the new baby, however, the mother and daughter have beenspending more time together, repairing their broken relationship.

So what doesthis have to do with 40 Days for Life? Well, thewoman who shared this story is a vigil coordinator for one of the localcampaigns, and her daughter saw her working on the vigil schedule. The youngwoman noticed blank spaces on the schedule.She looked upand asked, "What will you all do for these blank spots?""I told herGod will send His people to fill those slots. She looked at me and said, 'Well,maybe you and I could go together sometimes. I'd like to take the baby up thereon the day they do the abortions and pray. Maybe seeing my precious baby willmake one girl stop and think twice about what she's getting ready to do andshe'll change her mind.'"

The motherheld back her tears and suggested they all go pray together every Thursday.She isthankful that God is using the prayer vigil to save babies, that He is using 40Days for Life to restore relationships, and that He is drawing her daughterback to His heart. "We servesuch a mighty and awesome God," she said."I knowit's not quite a 'baby is saved' story, but I believe eternally it willbe."Please holdthis family in your prayers. Who knows what amazing work God will do next?

40Days through Scripture

Day5: Matthew 25 – 28 (including:  Matt 27:3-10)

" Then Judas, his betrayer, seeing that Jesus hadbeen condemned, deeply regretted what he had done.  He returned the thirtypieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, “I have sinned inbetraying innocent blood.”   They said, “What is that to us?  Look to it yourself.”   Flinging the money into the temple, hedeparted and went off and hanged himself.   The chief priestsgathered up the money, but said, “It is not lawful to deposit this in thetemple treasury, for it is the price of blood.”  After consultation, theyused it to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.  Thatis why that field, even today is called the Field of Blood.   Thenwas fulfilled what had been said through Jeremiah the prophet, “And they tookthe thirty pieces of silver, the value of a man with a price on his head, aprice set by some of the Israelites, and they paid it out for the potter’sfield just as the Lord had commanded me.”

Know, that regardless of the gravityof your sin, it cannot exceed that forgiveness available through JesusChrist.   How sad, that after all the time he spent with Jesus, henever understood who he is, what he stands for, he never appreciated all thatJesus had come to offer, a prize far greater than all the riches of the world,greater than all the power offered to the greatest rules of thisworld.   And then, when it dawned on him that he had betrayed aninnocent man, he failed to appreciate the gift of his own life, and thepossibilities that each day offer us.   The possibility of offeringourselves as a gift to God, each day we draw breath.

AbortionCenter Workers in California Sentenced for Illegal, Unlicensed Abortions

[LifeNews.com, San Diego, CA] -- Two accomplices of Bertha Bugarin, who was convicted of doing illegal,unlicensed abortions at her abortion business in southern California, have beenconvicted as well. The abortion workers will have lighter sentences, but apro-life group says the conclusion of the case is a good one. That is becausethe abortion centers Bugarin ran, which preyed on Hispanic women, are nowclosed. With the abortion practitioners her centers hired having their ownlegal problems, Bertha Pinedo Bugarin, 48, took it upon herself to doabortions.

NationalCampaign Daily Intention

We ask God that we may understand the concept of justice, as agift he gives and as a responsibility that shapes our work.

Letjustice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never‐failing stream!
 —Amos 5:24 —

Justice, a key theme of the Scriptures, is something God doesand that we too must do. When God intervenes to save his people when they are helplessand in slavery in Egypt, he “does justice.” He manifested his justice in the plagues that were sent uponEgypt, whereby Pharaoh was convinced that he must let the people go. Justice is manifested as, in awe and wonder, God’s people seethe Red Sea open before them, allow them to pass without even getting theirfeet wet, and then close again to drown their powerful enemies. God is a God of Justice; he rescues us when we cannot saveourselves.

His justice, above all, is seen in Jesus Christ, who, when wecould not save ourselves, rescued us from the kingdom of sin, Satan, death, andhell. The mighty work of Christ on the cross and in the resurrectionis the perfect manifestation of God as the God of justice. We, then, are to bethe people of justice; we are to “do justice” by intervening to save thehelpless in the name and by the power of the God who saves us who are helplessourselves.

That’s why we have a pro‐life movement; that’s why we have a 40Days for Life Campaign; that’s why saving the unborn is our business.

UnexpectedBlessings!

One of theunexpected blessings of this 40 Days for Life campaign thus far is theunprecedented number of media stories about local campaigns -- and it's notjust the number of stories but the tone of those reports. Many of them havebeen highly positive!

An extremelyfavorable article about the 40 Days for Life kickoff appeared in the JournalStar, the daily newspaper in Peoria, Illinois. Here's the first part of thatstory:

Cathy Trowbridge had an abortion andlived to tell about it. Not overnight, mind you. But after 34 soul-searchingyears, the Princeton resident is silent no more.

"Not everybody can do this,"Trowbridge said Tuesday night at a rally at Riverfront Park to launch the 40Days for Life campaign. "Not everyone that has had an abortion can standhere and be able to face a crowd. But that courage comes from Him who selectsthose that can do it." …

Read the wholestory at: http://tinyurl.com/ydhfowq

What apowerful account -- and in a secular newspaper! It's a valuable insight intothe mind of the woman who seeks abortion, and something to keep in mind as youpray. Abortionclearly leaves a lasting negative impact.

You even maymeet someone at the 40 Days for Life vigil in your own community who has astory similar to Cathy's. The 40 Days for Life team in Bakersfield, Californiaknows it is more common than you might think. Here's a posting from their blog:

During Saturday's kickoff rally, avolunteer noticed a forlorn woman standing near the vigil signup sheets."I sensed that God wanted me to talk to her," the volunteer said.

"Can I help you sign up for atime to pray at the vigil?" the volunteer asked. The woman seemedreluctant at first. As the volunteer continued to talk to her, eventually sheopened up to share the internal struggle she was experiencing.

"Twenty-five years ago," shebegan, "I aborted my baby. Maybe if people like you had been there, mybaby's life could have been saved.

News on TwoMore Reno Saves!

All our savesdon’t occur at the sidewalk and those that do occur there often go unnoticed,sometimes forever, sometimes to be revealed months or years later.  Today, we learn of two saves that have come from our campaign efforts.

Pat calledfrom the sidewalk.   She’d been there since the early morning hoursthrough the day, and returned for the evening when she got the news that gaveher the boost needed to get her through the night.   “I’m so excited;I’m ready to stay here all night, No Problem!”   So, what had Pat soexcited?  

While prayingwith several of the regulars who have been coming to the sidewalk since ourfirst campaign (or for some, since even before that) a pick-up truck drove pastslowly, turned around and made another pass.   One of the newvolunteers expressed concern for their safety, not knowing why this vehicleseemed to be checking them out.   It was late enough that theabortion site was already closed so it wasn’t a client looking for thelocation.   When this couple finally stopped they said they werelooking for the gray haired gentleman who is so frequently at thesidewalk.   They wanted to introduce Richard to their 8 ½ month olddaughter.  

Apparently,this young father’s own dad is a doctor and a personal friend of Dr. DamonStutes, the abortionist who runs the West End Abortion Site.   Whenhe learned that his son was going to become a young father, he referred him andthe mother of his child to Stutes to have an abortion.   “You’re tooyoung to be parents,” they were told.   While they were at the abortionsite, Richard started a conversation with them, and through his loving witness,they ended up choosing to give their daughter life.  

For much ofthe pregnancy, they were prepared to give their child up for adoption, but whenthe learned that the adoptive family was a lesbian couple, they realized thatthey really weren’t ready to have someone else raise their babygirl.   Now, this young father wanted to tell everyone at thesidewalk that his daughter is absolutely the best thing that has ever happenedto him.   As a result of making the choice to be a parent and all thechanges that have come from having to take responsibility for his life, he hascome to know Jesus Christ, and he is currently in the RCIA program, and expectsto enter the Catholic Church at Easter next year.   Not only was alife saved, but a soul as well!   Praise be to God!

But thiswasn’t the only story of life that came to me today!

A friend, whomI met over the course of working on 40 Days for Life, attends the Valley ViewChristian Fellowship.   During the last campaign she offered whatlooks like an excellent course on Abortion to the members of her church, overthe course of approximately 8 weeks.   On the last week of theprogram, she invited me to present our Vigil Volunteer Workshop to the participants.  Among the participants in her course were several teens.   I turnsout that one of these girls has just found that she’s unexpectedlypregnant.   Certainly it would have been better if she had maintaineda chaste relationship, but that decision is already behind her, now she hadanother choice to make, what to do about the reality she is nowfacing.   Because of the exposure she got to the reality of abortion,as reviewed during this course (based on the Bethlehem Institute’s “Abortion isAbout God: Reframing a Moral Issue) she had no hesitation as to what she wasgoing to do.

Sadly, she hashad difficulties at home in the past, such that a social worker has beenassigned to her case.   While her supportive parents were there forher, offering their assistance with her pregnancy and supporting her decisionto give life to her child, the social worker told her she would personally helpher get to an appointment at Planned Parenthood, even if she wanted to do sobehind her parent’s backs.   Is this what happens if you allow asocial worker to help your child learn to make responsibledecisions?   Thank God this girl was already well aware of whatabortion is really all about and she knew for herself that it was not a choiceshe wanted to make.

Vigil SupportNeeded This Weekend and Beyond

If you’vealready experienced the sidewalk in front of the abortion site, considerinviting a friend to join you, someone who has never before gone to Pray to EndAbortion.   Let’s share this experience with as many new people aspossible and let’s do so as soon as possible, so we can continue to fill thehours in our constant vigil.   To register for the hours when you’llbe at the sidewalk, go to: http://www.vigilcalendar.com/renotahoe  Ithank you in advance for your support.

40Days through Scripture

Day4: Matthew 19 – 24 (including:  Matt21:18-22)

When hewas going back to the city in the morning, he was hungry.  Seeing afig tree by the road, he went over to it, but found nothing on it exceptleaves.   And he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from youagain.”   And immediately the fig tree withered.   When thedisciples saw this, they were amazed and said, “How was it that the fig treewithered immediately?”   Jesus said to them in reply, “Amen, I say toyou, if you have faith and do not waver, not only will you do what has beendone to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up andthrown into the sea.’   It will be done.   Whatever you askfor in prayer with faith, you will receive.”

North DakotaBishop Asks All Priests to Spend "At Least One Hour" Outside AbortionFacility

Bishophimself commits to prayer hours with 40 Days for Life. [LifeSiteNews.com FARGO, ND, September 25, 2009] - Bishop Samuel J. Aquila,the bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Fargo, joined pro-life advocates for anhour of prayer this morning at 11:00, in front of a local abortion facility.His time of prayer coincides with the 40 Days for Life campaign, which beganSept. 23 in more than 200 communities nationwide. This is the third annual 40 Days for Life campaign to be held inNorth Dakota.

In addition to his own participation in the pro-life campaign,Bishop Aquila also recently sent a letter to allpriests of his diocese, asking them to participate in the 40 Days for Lifecampaign. In a Sept. 23 letter to priests, he wrote:
"I will pray on the sidewalk in front of the abortionfacility on Friday, September 25, at 11 a.m. and again on Respect Life Sundaywhen I lead a Eucharistic procession to the abortion facility, carrying ourLord in the Blessed Sacrament to the site of death for so many of his children.

"I ask that each of you schedule at least one hour ofprayer outside the abortion facility during these 40 days. I realize this willrequire great sacrifice for some of you in terms of miles traveled and timeaway from other pastoral duties. Yet I am confident that much fruit will comefrom your time spent in conversation with God at the site of this modern day,legally protected holocaust. Please also encourage your parishioners to take upthe cross of Christ for the most vulnerable among us."

His letter to priests continues, "Most especially in the'Year for Priests' we too are called to sacrifice - to carry the cross ofChrist. With Christ we stand in prayerful witness, in the cold, the rain, thesnow, enduring the glances of hatred and the words of disgust from those who donot understand. In faithful hope we pray that some will come to understand,that hearts will be transformed, unborn babies will be saved from death andparents will escape the agony of later realizing that their choice ended thelife of their child."

The 40 Days for Life campaign is a national ecumenical effort ofprayer, fasting and peaceful prayer and presence outside abortion facilities.The North Dakota campaign includes 40 days of non-stop prayer on the sidewalkoutside the Red River Women’s Clinic at 512 1st Ave. N., Fargo.

We pray for God’s gift of strength as we strive to protect humanlife during 40 Days for Life

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what youwill eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life moreimportant than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at thebirds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet yourheavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
—Matthew6:2526 —

Billionsof dollars are spent each year on diet plans. But Jesus tells us to stopworrying so much about our bodies, and instead to trust in God’s care for ourphysical needs.   
Whatwould happen if the people who had started on a low‐carb diet this year hadinstead gone on a diet of heavenly food?   For non‐believers thatdiet would include trusting in Christ for their salvation, and for believers itwould include a renewed prayer life, a new Bible study, or even a spiritualfast.

Thisdiet doesn’t include giving up on certain kinds of foods.   What thisdiet includes is giving up on anxiety by resting in the loving arms of Christ,trusting that He will provide.   Such a spiritual diet also frees usfrom our worries, and allows us to freely praise Him and serve others.  Christ’s words bear repeating:

ThereforeI tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or aboutyour body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and thebody more important than clothes?   Look at the birds of the air;they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Fatherfeeds them.   Are you not much more valuable than they?

Thispromised provision teaches us the inestimable worth of our lives.  He will not allow us to go without.   This intimateknowledge and care for human life on the part of our gracious God is whatmotivates us to seek for the preservation of human life in all its stages.

AbortionWorker Quits!

In my messageto you on Tuesday, I said, "When it comes to 40 Days for Life, expect theunexpected!"

And yes, eventhough I said that, the e-mail message I received from Tim Palmquist with the40 Days for Life team in Bakersfield, California was REALLY unexpected.
Tim wrote,"An employee of the Bakersfield Family Planning Association abortioncenter has just quit!"

The womanwalked out of the building and spoke to Rosa, who was taking part in the prayervigil, and told her, "I'm done with this place!" The woman also saidshe had turned in her uniform. Rosa quickly offered a hug, which the formeremployee accepted.

All this time,another vigil participant was watching. It was the first time she had ever goneto pray at an abortion center. Rosa turned to her and said, "Do you seethe power of prayer?" After seeing this amazing turn of events, the newvolunteer said she wants to spend much more time at the vigil during these 40days.
This happenedWednesday -- yes, the FIRST DAY of this 40 Days for Life campaign!

WOW!

Jim in GreenBay, Wisconsin writes, "Michael and I just walked the first shift of thisyear's vigil." He and Michael really didn't know each other well at first."But now we do. 40 Days for Life has a way of bringing folkstogether."
Jim describesthe late night/early morning scene as warm, slightly muggy, but beautifullyquiet. "We counted three horn honks with thumbs-up signals," henoted. "We also spoke to a young couple who were walking across thehospital parking lot. The young woman saw our signs and shouted encouragementsaying, 'We're not aborting! We're having a baby!' Michael and I shouted backour approval and encouragement.
Michaelobserved how we never, ever know how our presence impacts people. This vigil,like the prayer that it is, reaches far beyond those whom we can see and feeland touch -- which is just how the hand of God operates.

Procession& Kick-off Rally Rousing Success

Inaddition to the untoppable success of a life saved, our campaign started on theright note with a well attended Procession and Kick-off Rally.  There were 50 participants of these evening events, and the reaction ofpassersby was, for the most part, strongly in support of our message thatAbortion Kills Children, as we asked that on-lookers Pray to EndAbortion.  
Andif the presence of a great group of new volunteers weren’t enough, we were alsoblessed with the presence of signs that are new to the sidewalk.  Each day, he drove by and saw the faithful witness of Richard and Tony, as theystood with their signs, imploring those who pass by to pay attention to thetruth that Abortion Kills Children, and praying that each mother headed to theabortion site might change her mind and spare her child.   But henoticed that their signs seemed difficult to read for the those who weredriving by for the first time.   The more he saw them, the more hefelt that he needed to do something to help, but he didn’t know what he coulddo to make a difference.   Finally, he took it to prayer, and afterpraying he felt called to donate large format signs that he could leave withthese constant prayer warriors, who are at the sidewalk 5 mornings each week.  Come see them yourself, these 8 foot long, 2 feet high signs, that read“Abortion Stops A Beating Heart.”

Whenwe allow laws like legalized abortion to stand, are we not guilty of leadingthese girls to the sin that damns them?   Are we not obliged to findthem and bring them to repentance through Jesus, Our Lord?   Do wenot need to tear from the fabric of our land and the Laws that guide it, anytraces of abortion as a legal option, so that the entire land not rot under theevil it perpetuates?   We must exorcise abortion laws from our landnow.

More on Dominican Republic Passage ofComplete Abortion Ban

[LifeSiteNews,September 24, 2009, (C-FAM) BySamantha Singson] Last week, lawmakers in the Dominican Republic gave theirfinal approval to a pro-life constitutional change despite fierce criticism andpressure from UN agencies and abortion advocates to defeat the measure. The Dominican Republic’s National Assembly easily ratified a revision ofArticle 30 in a vote of 128 in favor with 32 opposed. The article now statesthat "the right to life is inviolable from conception until death."

Whilethe measure was widely supported by Dominican parliamentarians, it met withstaunch opposition from international abortion proponents and even UN agencies,which are officially neutral on abortion. Last April, when the right-to-lifeprovision was first debated, two UN officials interjected themselves into thedebate. Nils Kastberg, UNICEF's regional director for Latin America and theCaribbean, called on Dominican legislators to consider liberalizing abortion sowomen would not be forced into "unsafe procedures." Kastberg alsosuggested that lawmakers would be "hypocrites" unconcerned with thenation's higher-than-average teen birth rate.
UnitedNations Program for Human Development coordinator Miguel Ceara Hattoncriticized the article stating the constitutional revision encourages theincidence of clandestine abortions and maternal deaths and disregards a woman’sright to life.  Hatton also took aim at the Catholic Church stating thatit had "influence in everything" and that, "for following adogma [the Church] has become a source and a motor for social exclusion in theDominican Republic. The dogma is placed ahead of the needs of the population,health, housing and better living conditions. "
Contraryto the positions these UN officials took, the United Nations website maintainsthat "the legal status of abortion is the sovereign right of eachnation" and that the organization "does not provide support forabortion or abortion related activities anywhere in the world."

Pray for those who workin the abortion industry, and for those who have repented of committingabortions and have resolved to defend life.

Jesus called out with aloud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this,he breathed his last. The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God andsaid, “Surely this was a righteous man.”
—Luke23:4647

“Those of us who have participated in the killing of unbornchildren are the Centurions of today. We have dropped our swords against theunborn child. Now we must recognize the depth of our guilt and deal with theramifications... To revitalize our humanity we need to forgive and be forgiven,to reconcile and be healed.”
These words come from a brochure of the Society of Centurions,an organization for former abortion providers. These words convey in abeautiful and moving way what is happening across the nation as hundreds ofabortionists and their staff members experience repentance, conversion, andhealing.
How does this conversion begin? Dr. Philip Ney writes, “Thefactors that hanged their opinion on performing abortions, in the followingorder of frequency, were: evidence of the infant’s humanity, a spiritualexperience, personal distress, evidence of the mother’s distress, scientificarticles, being accepted as a person, a personal relationship with a pro-lifer,pro-life pickets.” (The Centurion’s Pathway, p. 77).
The journey is not easy. But the Jesus who heals us calls us toface the truth of what we’ve done, make restitution where possible, and engagein the hard work of mending relationships. Let’s pray for the Centurions; maytheir numbers increase!

At the St. Louis kickoff rally that evening, "we sang, prayed and had achance to meet many new people," said local coordinator Brian Westbrook."God truly blessed us with an exciting night."

Butthe excitement was just beginning. At the end of the long day, Brian went home,checked his e-mail and found this message:

"I just wanted to let you know that today justbefore we left the clinic, as we were wrapping up and praying together, one ofthe sidewalk counselors came over and let us know that a couple who had goneinto the clinic in the morning had just left and decided to keep their baby. So praise God, I believe that's the first fruits of what's to come over the next 40 days."

Briansaid, "What an incredible start to these 40 Days for Life. I cannot waitto see what God has in store for us this fall. Keep praying and fasting and oneday we will see an end to abortion."

Reno AlreadyRealizes Our 1st Save!

Day 2 – We’vejust finished our Kick-off Procession and Rally and already we have our 1stsave to report from the Reno Abortion Site!   While at the sidewalk,Carol Marie and Caryle were blessed to have the opportunity to participate in savinga child on the first day of our local campaign.   Aida came to theabortion site, conflicted about her 14 week pregnancy.   Herboyfriend is uncertain that he’s prepared for the responsibilities of being afather and she fears for where she’ll live if she continues thepregnancy.   Thankfully, we were there to let her know that there areoptions to an abortion, she can make another choice, she can give her childlife and we are there to help her meet whatever needs come her way.  

I was able toshare with her the story from the last week of our Spring Campaign, when afather came out to explain to the sidewalk counselors why he and his wife wereat the abortion site.   The child his wife was carrying was not his,and while they were both Hispanic, the man who had fathered this child wasAnglo.   How could he possibly raise such a child that would be aconstant reminder of his wife’s infidelity?   Members from ourcampaign worked with him to help him appreciate that every child is a gift fromGod, but that if he was unable to raise the child, a home could be found, thatabortion did not have to be the answer to this dilemma.   He was putin touch with a Spanish speaking nun who continued to work with the couple andthey were also referred to the Reno Crisis Pregnancy Center.
Just lastweekend, a baby shower was held for this couple and the husband is now thrilledthat they will be having a son, the son they have always wanted.  And the community has stepped forward to provide for their needs, as they add athird child to their family.

Hearing thisstory gave Aida the courage she needed to choose life for herchild.   We also shared with her the developmental facts about herchild, using the “Before You Choose” brochure which we have available in bothSpanish and English.   She now realizes that she is already a mom andshe is beginning to appreciate that she has a responsibility to protect herunborn child.   Please pray for her as she continues to work throughthe challenges ahead.   She still needs to discuss this decision withthe father of her child.   Let us pray that he appreciate the beautyof the unexpected life that is now growing within her womb.

40Days through Scripture

Day 2: Matthew 8 – 12

Matt11:20-24   Then he began to reproach the towns where most of hismighty deeds had been done, since they had not repented.  “Woe to you,Chorazin!  Woe to you, Bethsaida!  For if the mighty deeds done inyour midst had been done in Tyre or Sidon, they would long ago have repented insackcloth and ashes.  But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyreand Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.   And as for you,Capernaum:  ‘Will you be exalted in heaven?  You will go down to thenetherworld.’ For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done inSodom, it would have remained until this day.   But I tell you, itwill be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than foryou.”
Do we tend to forget, in all that weknow of God’s infinite Love, that He is also infinite Justice and that He haspromised that Hell is also possible for those who do not repent of their sin?

That we may use these 40 Days for Life to plead for God’s mercy and grace upon all those involved in the sin of abortion..

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. On this rock I will build my church; the gates of hell will not prevail against it. — Matthew 16:18

Pray that the witness of 40 Days for Life bears abundant fruit, and that we begin again each day to storm the gates of hell until God welcomes us into the gates of heaven.

Take a Step of Faith and Join This Prayerful Effort

Whether you've participated in 40 Days for Life before, or you're along on this journey for the very first time, thank you taking the step of faith to join this prayerful effort.

What is 40 Days for Life? Bishop Richard Malone of Portland, Maine offered about the best one-sentence answer I've yet seen: "40 Days for Life is the work of the Holy Spirit, a divine inspiration in the ongoing effort to end the plague of abortion."

And how does the Holy Spirit work? Often, in the hearts of those who join this effort to pray for others. When it comes to 40 Days for Life, expect the unexpected! That message is clear in what people are saying about 40 Days for Life.

A blogger just posted: "As I sit here tonight awaiting the kickoff rally tomorrow, while holding my precious sleeping infant, I praise God for the gift of life." But she writes with mixed emotions. Six years ago, she became pregnant as the result of rape. She chose life for her son, and arranged for a loving couple to adopt her child. "Six years later," she writes, "I still know and feel I made the right decision, but I miss him. So, tonight as I write this, I think about the women who go in for an abortion and wonder how I can make a difference. I realize that I can make a difference by being there praying for them, praying to God that their mind changes away from abortion." She is thankful for 40 Days for Life "because I believe it truly touches the hearts of the women who come there for an abortion. I am eagerly anticipating the Lord's goodness in this fall's campaign."

Then there's Val in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, who expressed her thoughts in a letter to the editor of the local newspaper: "Last spring I volunteered in the 40 Days for Life campaign. For 40 days I joined other volunteers to pray for the unborn in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic. We didn't pray only for the unborn. We also prayed for the women facing unplanned pregnancies. We prayed that those facing these circumstances would consider other alternatives such as adoption. My family adopted a child whose mother once faced an unplanned pregnancy. After making an appointment to end her pregnancy, she changed her mind when she encountered volunteers who were present the day of her appointment, praying on behalf of the unborn. This child has been such a blessing to our family. God has a plan for each one of us, and I'm seeing that, especially in the case of this child."

This fall from September 23 to November 1, another 40 Days for Life campaign will take place. I hope many will come and join us as we pray. Miracles really do happen."

Vienna Cardinal Forbids Famous Pro-Life Bishop to Attend Pro-Life Rally

(LifeSiteNews.com VIENNA, September 22, 2009 By Hilary White) - When pro-life demonstrators in Vienna marched to City Hall earlier this month to protest the hosting by the mayor of a celebration for a notorious local abortion facility, one prominent member of Austria's pro-life world was not present. Bishop Andreas Laun, an auxiliary of Salzburg, told marchers at a Mass prior to the event that he had been forbidden to attend the demonstration by the cardinal archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Schönborn.

Bishop Laun is one of the recipients of the Von Galen Award, an honor given by Human Life International "to a Catholic prelate who has been a voice of conscience for his society." He said at the Mass that preceded the rally, "Cardinal Schönborn has told me on the phone that he does not want that I participate in the demonstration. I replied to him, 'This topic can hardly be discussed on the phone,' and [thought] that I will not be able to convince him. Since Schönborn is the archbishop of Vienna, I have to respect his decision according to canon law."

Bishop Laun said he respected the cardinal's decision and added, "There is a blessing on all legitimate forms of obedience in the Church." He had been scheduled by rally organizers to speak at the demonstration and to lead prayers outside City Hall.    Read the entire article on LifeSiteNews.com

Media Analysis Says Pro-Life Group Right, Baucus Health Care Bill Funds Abortions

(LifeNews.com, Washington, DC) -- A new media analysis is verifying the contention of a pro-life group that says the new Baucus health care bill funds abortions. As is the case with HR 3200 and the Kennedy bill in the Senate, National Right to Life says the Baucus bill also contains massive abortion subsidies and mandates. The Pulitzer-prize winning PolitiFact web site, operated by the St. Petersburg Times newspaper, is respected as a web site that looks into political claims. In a new analysis released on Monday, it verifies as true the National Right to Life take on the Baucus bill that it "contains provisions that would send massive federal subsidies directly to both private insurance plans and government-chartered cooperatives that pay for elective abortion." PolitiFact says the NRLC view of the bill "get[s] to the heart of the rhetoric on both sides of the debate."   Read the entire article at Lifenews.com …
