Lois and I met at the 40 Days for Life vigil site again this afternoon shortly after 1:00pm to pray for an end to abortion. When I arrived, Paul Lauzon and two ladies from Our Lady of Fatima Parish were there. The ladies were quietly praying the rosary. I signed in and took a sign . Shortly after I arrived a young man nicely dressed ( he probably worked in an office close by) came by just as Lois arrived and told us to move because " we were within the bubble zone" which needless to say we were not. We explained that we were outside the bubble zine and pointed to the sign. He ignored what we were saying and a few times rather loudly told us to move. He left but came back and told us he was going to call the police. He was belligerent and very authoritative. I don't know if he called the police but about 10 minutes later the sound of sirens brought 4 or 5 police cars and an ambulance to our corner right across the street where a man was sitting with his dog on the sidewalk looking for handouts. He was peaceful and wasn't bothering anyone so why 4 police cars and an ambulance? It was very bizarre. The cops spent at least 20 minutes talking to the man then left. Very strange indeed.
There was a similar occurrence last Wednesday when Lois and I were there. A young lady passed by and told us to move because " we were within the bubble zone" She wasn't as nasty as the man today but still.
Oh incidentally, Lois walked from where we were praying to the bubble zone sign and it was 25 feet so we were about 25 feet outside of the bubble zone
No more negative incidents after that. The weather was beautiful so we stayed and prayed for about an hour and a half and then walked to a quaint little bakery, Bread and Son near Gloucester and Bank and bought bread: freshly baked at $5 a loaf, yummy
God willing Lois and I will meet again next Wednesday: pray and buy bread
