Notes from Miramichi Right to life Chapter

Post by Gina Cote

Members of the miramichi Right to llife Chapter were priviledged to stand across the street, facing the George Dumont Hospital every Monday from 10:00am until 4:00pm. The experience is unique, one can say "a calling from Jesus" to defend life by being a visible means to reveal the Hospital that snuffed out the life of 200 babies through abortion this year. In spite of the numbing cold, rain and high winds I rather be there than enjoying the warmth of the sun, because the motive that moves us to do the 40 days of fast and prayer can make a difference in the evil abortion. This work warms my heart to spite the cold.day. Someone might say, Does it make a difference? If you heard the response from the Moncton public as I did you would see how much people do care as most were glad to see us praying. The Faith is alive+ I was priviledged to meet many wonderful people on the line wearing the different signs: I REGRET MY ABORTION or I GAVE MY BABY UP FOR ADOPTION or FAST AND PRAY TO END ABORTION, etc. Sometimes people who identified with these words stopped to talk. We remained silent most of the time but when a need for information was too great to be ignored a prayer card was handed out or giving them a smile was sufficiant. We do not know how many babies were saved during those 40 days but someone once said that when we die God will not ask us if we succeed, but only if we tried. By the grace of God I was involved and I am grateful. God Bless the people who inspired this work: Mario, Rosalie, Sister Cicile, Brenda are only a few that come to mind. There are others and without them we would not be successful. God Bless all of you.
