Dallas, Texas, June 24, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com)
When Bishop Charles Grahmann began leading a monthly “Second Saturday Rosary” outside Dallas abortion clinics (mills) in 1990, there were 13 abortion clinics in the city. Seven clinics closed between 1990 and 2001, and after Aaron (Women’s Health Center, a late-term abortion facility) closes there will remain only 5 freestanding abortion clinics in Dallas. The Catholic Pro-Life Committee and others have vowed to continue to pray and offer alternatives to abortion outside those remaining five clinics, (mills)

The Catholic Pro-Life Committee has maintained a constant presence of peaceful prayer and sidewalk counseling in front of Aaron’s for over a decade and participated in a “ 40 Days for Life Prayer Vigil” there in 2004.”

During the 40 Days Vigil, a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ecumenical effort was organized, with more than 800 people from 89 churches and several denominations praying and fasting for an end to the killing of babies inside the clinic. The above is a powerful and most inspiring story of the power of prayer.

Now we share an important e-mail from Alejandra Baker:

This Fall we want Orange County to join together with communities from across the county in the “40 DAYS FOR LIFE” campaign that will be held September 24 to November 2nd. (Crusade for Life had one in 2004.)

The 40 Days For Life Campaign consists of prayer, fasting (i.e. food, TV, internet etc.) and a peaceful vigil – outside a Planned Parenthood center or other abortion facility – to end abortion in America.

Why 40 days? God has used the period of 40 Days throughout history to bring about major transformation. (Noah, Moses, David, Elijah,Nineveh, Jesus and His disciples have experience transformation after a period of 40 Days.)

While nationally this campaign calls for a 24x7 hour vigil and cities with freezing temperatures have done it, we could begin working to cover the 9:00 am to 5:00 pm period and hopefully we could extend it as more people get involved, like other cities have done. (For more information, contact Alejandra Baker)

Why Prayer? Without prayer in California, we can’t pass Proposition 8 – The marriage amendment or Proposition 4 – Sarah’s Law (Parental Notif.) We need prayer to elect a pro-life president or for a defeat, and or conversion of CINOPS.

To get started, you may want to participate at the Abortion Facility @ 2445 W. Chapman, Orange, on Fridays – 9:10-10 A.M. (This mill also does abortions on Sunday mornings.) OR at the Abortion Site @ 2777 Long Beach Blvd. Long Beach,
On Wednesdays – 9:10-10 A.M. They do at least 30 or more abortions on that day. We have time to pray at least 2- 3 Mysteries of the Rosary.
