40 Days for Life 2024 - Friday, October 18, 2024

 Annunciation of the Lord and Saint John the Apostle Parishes

We pray for the babies that will die today, for the mothers and fathers and all their family members. We pray for mothers greiving an abortion, for the women considering abortion that they have a change of heart and that the Lord will send them the help they need in their hours of distress. We pray for abortionists and all Abortion Supporters. supporters. We Pray for Crisis Pregnancy Centers. 

It was pretty dark when I arrived at the corner of Queen and Bank. Of course, I had to go to the washroom. I shouldn't drink so much coffee I guess. But that will never happen. The building across the street has a washroom and a food court, so that helps

Anyway, shortly after beginning my prayers, Pat came by. I saw her coming out of the corner of my eye but since she was coming from a different direction I didn't notice her at first. I gave her instructions on how to find the corner but she couldn't follow them so she ended up coming out of the Train station across the Street. ( probably my fault although Pat is directionally challenged too) 

A little while later James Larivierre who is the Pro-Life Rep from Saint John the Apostle came. We all prayed together. I thought that it was really neat that Saint John the Apostle Parish had signed up for the same day we did. I joined Saint John the Apostle Parishioners for Life Chain two weeks ago.

Pat and I left at 8 for a coffee across the street. I was kind of cold although I shouldn't have been with all the heavy winter clothing I was wearing.

After our coffee, we took the train back to Blair. Pat drove me the rest of the way home.  

I took these 2 photos below after our coffee break. I was glad to see that there was another Saint John the Apostle parishioner with James when we left; Pat and I are parishioners of the Annunciation of the Lord Parish in Ottawa.

Father Rob and Father Kevin were there between 1 and 2, as well as Janet, Ken, Gord and Lois, Luzia  arrived at 2 and Lois stayed with her until 3pm. Margaret and four Sisters from the Queenship of Mary came for 1 hour in the afternoon as well 

Thank you, God, for all those praying today for the 40 Days for Life Intentions.  

Thank you, God, for Hearing our Prayers!

Thy Will Be Done!
