Today, I am praying. For all those who are frightened, who find themselves in what they believe to be an impossible situation. I pray that they will find an answer deep within their soul, that the Holy Spirit will whisper to them, "It's alright, I am here." Today, a child's life is in the balance. A baby in her mother's womb is fighting for her life; the struggle continues. I am tired, but am reinforced by these words...
...because ending a life won't erase the fact that a life once existed. Once created, a life cannot be "uncreated." I have many names upon my heart: for a frightened, illegal family; for a mother from Russia; for a young man who cannot face the prospects of being a father. So many more, so much heartache. If you're a prayerful person, I ask you to please pray for these very scared parents, as well as for those who counsel them.
You know that I love you all, thanks for listening, thank you for your prayers. God bless!

Thank you so much, Patti--the video, and even more so your prayer, are so beautiful! And the things you mention in the prayer are heartbreaking, too. God bless you for helping those folks; we should all have your selflessness and courage--and we should be doing likewise.
Just today I happened on a web site you're probably familiar with, http://www.priestsforlife.org/ I don't know if I'm ready to "see what abortion looks like", but I know in my soul we have to fight it with love and help for those facing that awful decision, and with our voices and votes. Bless you again!
Amen sister...preach on!
