Ground Zero Report - Day 10 [10.03]

Our family arrived at the vigil site at 7 pm. We immediately took notice of the gentlemen still washing the walls of the building (as referred to in previous posts today). Automobile and pedestrian traffic was dwindling as evening approached. Every now and then, some passerbys took notice of the sign on the sidewalk which pointed out 65 Bank St. as the Morgentaler clinic and they turned their gaze across the street to see for themselves. A young man on a skateboard passed by on our side of the street, yelling at us, something about women's right to choose, and telling us to "go home already". He did some more yelling on the other side of the street on the way back from his errand. Shortly after, an agitated woman came by, picked up and threw the sidewalk sign into the flower bed behind us and proceeded to rip some prolife posters that had been put up around a tree. One of the women present at the vigil had an opportunity to talk to her, but her words fell upon deaf ears as the pro-abortion woman continued to argue and swear. All we could do was pray to her guardian angel to help her. Despite these two incidents, what was the most unsettling about our vigil hour was when several bags of garbage were being brought out of 65 Bank St and deposited on the sidewalk. It reminded me of a painting I once saw of a dumpster outside an abortion clinic, with a line of angels descending down from heaven and each angel bringing up a baby to their heavenly Father. As this is the Feast of the Guardian Angels, we are reminded once again to pray to the guardian angels of those babies being aborted, but also the abortionists and abortion supporters for their conversion. - Amy

I am not one to post to blogs but just so the truth is known...from the blog of last night 7-8 PM I am the woman the agitated lady spoke to and I can tell you the words did not fall on deaf ears. She left with a smile and a lot less agitated, and we are lucky, she felt some love in the words we spoke. Her name is A. and should be prayed for. She is angry with mankind (especially men) and she wanted to hurt someone and that was almost me! She wanted a fight and she wanted to hit me (her words "kill me"), but God and his angels protected me and allowed her to see us a little different, a little less weird (her words not mine). Linda said she will continue to try and stop us, and I told her we will continue to pray to stop abortion She works in the building we are camped in front of, so if we had no incidents this morning that is a good sign. - Diane
