WHY PRAY THE ROSARY AT ABORTION MILLS?

“Prayer at abortion mills is absolutely necessary, and the Rosary is an especially
appropriate form of prayer.
“We pray at these places to confront the killing, lies and exploitation that go on inside. Prayer unites us to the Lord of Life, and calls Him to make present the Victory
of Life. We pray for our own conversion and for the conversion of the mothers, the
fathers, the abortionists and the general public.

1) The Rosary has been constantly recommended by Popes and saints. Itcontains all of salvation history. It immerses us in Scripture. It has gained great victories for Christianity through the ages.

2) The Rosary honors a Mother, and calls “blessed” the fruit of her womb.This counteracts the abortion mentality, which sees motherhood as more of a burdenthan a blessing and sees the fruit of the womb as disposable.

3) The Rosary has a calming effect as our fingers handle the beads, our lips repeat the Hail Marys, and our mind calmly reviews the Mysteries. An abortion millcan be a place of great tension, … The Rosary helps keep us cool.

4)In the Rosary we proclaim that we are sinners. “Pray for us sinners.”
"Forgive us our trespasses.” It proves false the accusation of pro-aborts who tell us
we are “self-righteous.” Rather, we are the ones who need to repent of our negligence
and inactivity regarding abortion.

5)The format of the Rosary allows everyone to participate. It can be prayedwhile walking and can be adjusted to any time frame. A practical suggestion is to have the group say the first part of the Hail Mary and the other half respond. If there is only one person leading the prayer, most people cannot hear it, especially with the noise of traffic.

“Pro-lifers must never be silent! Continue to take to the streets! Continue
to save babies! Continue to pray the Rosary! Continue to wake up America
about abortion!” p. 34-5, “Our Media is the Streets.”

"Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God's heart." Padre Pio
