When you take the bus and the train downtown to pray at the abortion site ( as close as we are permitted anyways) it's a great opportunity I find, to make the journey into a mini-pilgrimage. I find it so peaceful praying on the bus and on the train ( maybe too peaceful cause sometimes I doze off )
This afternoon, I arrived at the public prayer corner at approximately 3:30, and I joined in prayer with the three or four souls who were already there. We pray for an end to abortion. We pray for the babies, their moms, and their dads......for the abortionists. We pray that mothers will change their minds and choose life and if they don't we pray for their healing; physical, spiritual, and psychological because without a doubt for most of them there will be much sadness, sorrow, guilt, and depression. 'God loves when we pray.
A few photos I took
These folks were at the vigil site when I arrived at approximately 3:30 and stayed till about 5:30

After that, I sat on a nearby bench ( thank you God for the seat, my legs were starting to give out)) and as I was about to get up and head to the train station I looked up and saw my little sister Barb who had just left her Government job downtown.
That was a dainty for sure because a minute later I would have been gone

After that, we walked to the Rideau Centre and Barb bought us a delicious vegan dinner
And the best part is that Mother Mary was with us the whole time
( well Mary is always with us but today was special because Barb received a beautiful dainty from her.)
Barb had been searching for this beautiful image for a long time. Today after mass at Saint Pat's she thought she would try again and there in the Gift Shop she found Mary and baby Jesus and the lamb which incidentally had just arrived!
Alleluia!!!
