A ‘prayer group’ who supports “Life” gathers in our city twice a week to pray outside the building that houses Planned Parenthood at 20800 Center Ridge Road in Rocky River.
The prayer group goes to other Planned Parenthood Offices in other cities and peacefully prays there as well. You can call them at 216-362-1732.
They gather in Rocky River – on Saturday starting at 10 A.M. – and on Tuesday starting at 6:30 P.M.
Their Tuesday 6:30 P.M. Prayer Meeting is the one I attend weekly as we pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and then pray the 15 decade holy rosary and hold signs that state: ABORTION KILLS CHILDREN!
I have been praying with them and holding a sign that says ABORTION KILLS CHILDREN for several weeks now and I plan to continue in this effort to support “Life”.
I have always been pro-life. My wife Barb and I have been blessed to bring into this world three beautiful children who we raised and are now adults.
I am pro-life to serve God’s Plan for Life, and to encourage my fellow woman and man to protect their unborn child so the child can be born and become an adult one day as other children do.
Yet being pro-life is not a reason to be lauded, it is a mission for those who wish to accept that mission.
Such as the time in the early 90's I was a volunteer to a Catholic Priest for several years at the Cuyahoga County Jail. I was given the mission to meet with inmates and to give them religious counseling and to encourage them away from what brought them to the Cuyahoga County Jail in the first place. I hated the sin yet as a Life created by God I tried to get the offenders away from death that was then going on inside each and everyone of them, and I also encouraged them to walk away from crime by knowing and following God.
I was called one day to visit a specific inmate at the Cuyahoga County Jail who previously killed a person (it was reported in the daily newspaper on what he did.) I met him one on one and after an hour of talking with him on what wrong he did, and telling him to accept his punishment for his crime, yet to look to God who created him for forgiveness and for future strength, and for him to walk away from sin in the future. Then surprisingly he looked straight at me and said, “Chaplain Fred if I would have been able to talk to you before I committed this murder I would never have done it.”
Life should always be chosen over death. All Life is Precious.
That’s why I choose to support and to pray with others who support and pray for the safety and the life of the unborn child or for anyone else’s life.
I invite you on Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. or Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. to join us to pray and to show your support for Life in front of the office building at 20800 Center Ridge Road where Planned Parenthood is housed in our home town … Rocky River, Ohio. Thank You!
A PRAYER FOR LIFE!
