Wee bites of our 40 days for life – Moncton 2011 by Rosalie

Mid week a young mother pushing a child in a stroller confided to us that during her first pregnancy, at the age of 13, she was strongly advised to abort but then due to an accident she lost twins!

40 Days Moncton Meets Rick Hansen Relay

Yes, our 40 Days for Life vigil actually happened to be on the Rick Hansen Relay route. We were finishing our second day (it was about 5pm) when the relay team went by, smiling and waving to us.

Different teams, different ways, but one message: Life is precious.

Wee bites of our 40 days for life – Moncton 2011

Early the very first and cold morning shortly after we were nicely set up with signs etc. at our post across the street facing George Dumont Hospital. A young man biking by called out “Oh no, not you again”.

My first day at 40 days!- Purpose & Means!

"We are called to be God's messengers; or as the Apostle Paul told the Corinthians: "We are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: be reconciled to God" (2 Corinthians 5:20). That is the true message to all we encounter at the abortion centers and in our communities who have been deceived by the Culture of Death. We don't bring condemnation; we bring God's good news." David Brandao Communications Director, 40 Days for Life

This passage which I read from the 'daily devotionals of the 40 days for life' on the first day taught me the Purpose and Means of the 40 days of life. The Purpose - "Reconciliation to God" and the Means - "by being the ambassadors of christ". This passage comes back to my mind often when I join the Prayer at George Dumont and strengthens me!

Our kick off on Sept 27th saw 47 hardy souls of all ages came to pray. The evening was cool and windy and we were outdoors at the Magnetic Hill Prayer Garden. After the prayers and singing sister Cecile introduced the general pattern of the 40 days vigil and invited prayer warriors.
