24 Hour Vigil ends

24 Hour Vigil Ends- WE BELIEVE!!!
12 noon Good Friday, March 29, 2013 to 12 Noon Saturday, March 30, 2013
The Granholm Family (Mary, Elizabeth and Ken) are praying on this gorgeous day at the 10 am hour


Every hour on the hour for 24 hours people have come to pray and bear witness that Planned Parenthood destroys the precious gift of human life~


This is from Elizabeth and she wrote in what was always mud during our 40 Days for LIFE that she was there. Finally, dry enough to send a powerful message.
This crucifix is a powerful reminder of the love of Our Heavenly Father has for us~
He sent his only Son to suffer and die so that we would be forgiven for whatever we would do that hurts our relationship with God~
Our Lady of Guadalupe was present in three places during the 11 am hour of Our Lady of Guadalupe Rosarians~
Through her intercession, Rockland will be P.P. Free~
The three Rosaries to her are extremely powerful~
The following are words from Gerald who coordinated the White Plains first ever 40 Days for LIFE:
On this Good Friday, Christians around the world commemorate the suffering and death of Jesus Christ. For those of us Christians who are in the pro-life movement, it is an appropriate time to reflect on the similarities between Jesus Christ and the unborn babies killed by abortion. Though innocent, Jesus was condemned to death by the power of the state. The agent of the state, Pontius Pilate, had the power to save Jesus but instead washed his hands of all responsibility and delivered Jesus up to death. Every day, innocent children in the womb are condemned to die by abortion. Like Pilate, our government does not fulfill its primary responsibility of protecting innocent lives. As Christ's flesh was torn by the whips and nails of his executioners, so the bodies of babies in the womb are torn by the instruments of the abortionists. Jerusalem, which had welcomed Jesus as a triumphant king only days earlier, turned quickly into a hostile environment where Jesus met his death. Likewise, the mother's womb, which should be a place of warmth and nourishment for the pre-born child, becomes a killing chamber where the victim of abortion meets her death.
Thankfully, Jesus' story does not end with his death on Good Friday. Christians rest assured in the knowledge that Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday. Without the resurrection, Jesus' death would have been in vain. Jesus died and rose for all people, Jews and Gentiles, Christians and non-Christians, born and unborn alike. As Christian pro-lifers, we have the great privilege and responsibility of spreading the message of Jesus' victory over death to every segment of our society. We do this every time we protest the legality of abortion, offer support to women in crisis pregnancies or help post-abortive parents to find forgiveness and healing. This Easter, we rejoice in the hope that the resurrection of Jesus offers to those waiting to be born and those tempted to turn to abortion.
We believe that Our Lady of Guadalupe is interceding for us~
 
We know this great battle between good and evil, LIFE and death, is won through prayer!
God Bless You and Happy Easter!!

40 Days of Lent - Day 40

Day 40~"FAITH" ~ The Year of FAITH
March 24, 2013
Before the first picture or video, we must thank John who could not be among us because he was not well and could not leave his bed.
There is no way we could do our 11th 40 Days for LIFE without John. Please keep him in your prayers for a speedy recovery~
 
We are getting ready for our closing prayers~
 
Led by Monsignor Robert McCabe~
 
We recited the Divine Mercy Chaplet~
 
and the Glorious Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary~
 
We want to thank Peter on Guitar for the music and
 
Radcliff on drums
 
We are at Planned Parenthood is Spring Valley, NY because we do not help women when we sell the chemical abortion cocktail:
RU486~ In Rockland we have Care Net directly across from Planned Parenthood, we have Good Counsel Homes and Birthright~
 
The choice is whether a Mom chooses LIFE or Death for her baby~
 
If you have lost your baby(ies) we know that Jesus paid in full for whatever we do and we know that you cannot destroy the immortal soul and the God has your baby(ies)~
 
Nothing is impossible with God and this is the YEAR OF FAITH. We believe that God will remove Planned Parenthood from our community because we HAVE FAITH!
 
Below, on the bottom right is Sean and we thank him for the banners and the video we close with~
Have a spiritual Holy Week and a Joyful Easter~
For LIFE,
Eileen Peterson

40 Days of Lent - Day 38

Day 38~How Beautiful Are the Feet of They Who Bring the Gospel of PEACE!
March 24, 2013
 
As we pray, the professional building directly across from Planned Parenthood has Care Net (Life Affirming Alternative to a Crisis Pregnancy).
Their building's front frame is in the shape of a cross and in this picture, there is a clear, visible shadow~
Our five 10 am prayer people are busy with their Gospel of PEACE~
Thank you to Nadine, Carlos, John, Peter and~


Maryann
Prayer changes things!
We love those who have made the horrendous choice of abortion and know that with God's mercy, even the sin of abortion can be forgiven. The real problem is when the aborted Mom feels the agony of what she chose. She cannot go back in time and save her baby(ies). Please pray to Our Lady of Guadalupe and Blessed Pope John Paul II for healing in Rockland County and the closure of Spring Valley Planned Parenthood.
For LIFE,
Eileen Peterson

Our bus was blessed to have the religious sisters among us~
Young people who are the survivors ~
 
 
of the abortion "choice" and they are on a mission!
 
The YOUTH led us in prayer:
Responsorial:
"Lord, help us change hears and bring Your JUSTICE"!
 
There were people from all over New York State- fellow brothers and sisters in Christ~

BEAUTIFUL YOUNG PEOPLE!!!
 
I met with Assemblyman Skoufis who represents Stony Point and Orange County.
He is need of prayers to convert his heart from the culture of death to the culture of LIFE. While gracious, Skoufis is supported and endorsed by Planned Parenthood and does not yet see that there is no one more poorer or weaker than a child in the womb~
 
Patrick representing Senator Larkin's office was very supportive of our issues~
 
especially protecting the precious gift of LIFE in the womb~
 
Thousands joined in praying the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary~ We prayed the Glorious Mysteries~
The highlight of the trip to Albany was the 1:30 PM Mass at the Cathdral of the Immaculate Conception Church.
 
The wonderful Knights of Columbus led in the Bishops and Priests~
 
and they were singing~
 
And the thousand sang with great love because they felt the presence of the Holy Spirit!
1)We Oppose the Reproductive Health Act (RHA)
If there is one single message we can convey today, it is that our state in under attack by Governor Cuomo for this radical bill known as RHA
Reproductive Health Act.
This has nothing to do with health and everything to do with more abortions, less limitation(birthing while killing) non- doctors performing abortions, Catholic hospitals forced to provide abortions, Catholic Charities and Schools to counsel for abortions- etc.
