40 Days for Life, Toledo - The Last Week

I just received this email from the Toledo area 40 Days for Life campaign:

We are in the last week of 40 Days for Life--so remember: it's not over yet! Continue to invite people to take part in this historic event! Tell them about your own experience when you were praying outside the abortion center--most people have reported an incredible power of prayer while they were there. If you haven't taken part yet, there's still time! I still have a great need for hours to be filled--check the website!--and I especially invite you to take part in the last hour of these 40 Days on Sunday 11/4 from 2-3pm. Fr. Monte Hoyles will lead us in prayer, and then we will go immediately to the Rosary Cathedral gym for a Celebration Rally. (Again, check the website!) Finally, invite also to the Celebration Rally those who joined us in prayer support.

The prayers are working! We know of at least one baby that was saved during these 40 Days, the hours for the abortions seem to be lessening (ie, the abortionist is done sooner than in the past), the staff is extremely upset with us (that's a good sign!)...but we must always remember that we often won't SEE the fruits of our prayers! That's what faith is all about, right? A good friend reminded me of this very thing this week so if you, too, ever get discouraged keep that in mind! We can also remember to repeat these words from a wise priest, 'Jesus, YOU are the Savior!' ...'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me' (Phil.4:13)--not alone, but through Him! Let's continue to unite ourselves and our prayers with Jesus and stand at the foot of the Cross with Our Lady, suffering yet joyful because our hope is in the Lord who is already victorious!

In Jesus and Mary
