ROCKY RIVER – Fred Sokol, Chair – Stop Abortion in Rocky River Committee hails Mike one of his fellow pro-lifers as he said, “God Bless and Keep you Mike - for your love of God and for your pro-life effort ‘in Rocky River’.  To protect ‘God’s Creation’ the unborn baby … from abortion, death and child sacrifice in Rocky River, Ohio - on a frigid Saturday Morning, January 30, 2010.

While you bravely and frigidly stood in a 4 degree wind chill temperature across the street from Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] 20800 Center Ridge Road that offers ... “Abortion pill (medication abortion) … up to 9 weeks after the start of your last menstrual period.” 

Mike, you are not even a Rocky River resident yet you were there to protest abortion and child sacrifice in Rocky River. Yet I wondered as I proudly stood with you.  Where were the 20 thousand residents of Rocky River that could have stood with us that morning to stop abortion, death and child sacrifice in Rocky River? 

WHERE WERE THE 20 THOUSAND ROCKY RIVER CITIZENS TO STAND UP FOR THE UNBORN BABY IN ROCKY RIVER?

You know Mike, in the City of Rocky River there are 20 thousand citizens.  My friend, I am ashamed to say that I am the only Rocky River Citizen that I know of that comes to pray and to stand up - to stop abortion, murder and child sacrifice in Rocky River on Tuesdays and Saturdays.  I am just a messenger, but grateful to be in God’s pro-life service.  As you are, Mike.   

MIKE, A NON-RESIDENT PRO-LIFER - DID STAND UP FOR THE UNBORN BABY IN ROCKY RIVER.

Yet Mike, you do not even live in Rocky River - and you stood for the unborn baby in Rocky River on a cold, bitter, windy morning that Saturday from 10 am to 11:30 am.  The brutal temperature was 16 degrees with a ‘winter wind’ dropping the temperature to 4 degrees wind-chill.  While you bravely and frigidly stood across the street from Rocky River Health Center [Planned Parenthood] 20800 Center Ridge Road that offers ... “Abortion pill (medication abortion) … up to 9 weeks after the start of your last menstrual period.” 

No matter how you were bundled and standing on this Saturday morning the frigid temperature with wind and snow physically challenged you.  Yet you endured.  How you prevailed, I can only imagine.  

For you had to maneuver two [2] pro-life signs one on top of another and hold them in place.  While the biting cold winds kept trying to take the signs out of your hands.  The top sign showed ‘a decapitated’ aborted unborn child in the eleventh [11^th] week of development.  The bottom sign announced “Planned Parenthood Here” in Rocky River. 

You were an amiable but a wily combatant with Mother Nature, that Saturday morning.  As you played tug-of-war with the Bitter Winter Cold and Wind - so you could protest abortion, spread the truth of the horror of abortion and child sacrifice and stop abortion in Rocky River.  I was humbled by your pro-life effort.

SATAN 'THE COWARD' ATTACKS

Then Mike, you were verbally attacked by a pro-abort that drove by and called you “a hypocrite” while you stood for the unborn baby that day.  Mike you are not a hypocrite.  

A hypocrite is a person whose job it is - to serve and to protect all of Rocky River’s Citizens both born and unborn and does not.  Yet you Mike want to protect the unborn in Rocky River by your effort to stop abortion and child sacrifice in Rocky River.

Yet Satan the coward had to speak through that pro-abort that called you a hypocrite, to try to push you into despair.  Satan wanted you to think - that as a pro-lifer nothing good can come from your pro-life work.  Yet Mike you do stand up against the abortion and death of the unborn baby in Rocky River, in America and throughout the World.  You walk the walk and talk the talk of the pro-life movement.  That is not being a hypocrite Mike.  That is, being ‘God’s Witness’ for the unborn baby that cannot speak and defend themselves.  God Bless You for that.

IN CLOSING

I understand other people could not make it to protest with us that Saturday Morning.  I also understand people have other responsibilities to attend to as well.

YET I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. 

There are approximately 20 thousand Rocky River citizens.  Why are they not standing with us – to stop abortion in Rocky River?   Yet only they and God know that answer.  

Yet, you my pro-life friend, you are not even a citizen of Rocky River. 

Yet you stood, battled, suffered and endured the biting, windy and brutal winter winds and almost zero wind-chill temperature that Saturday Morning.  You did it for the unborn baby.  To protest abortion, spread the truth of the horror of abortion and stop abortion in Rocky River. 

YET AGAIN AND AGAIN, WHERE WERE THE 20 THOUSAND CITIZENS OF ROCKY RIVER?

Yet again and again and again, where were the 20 thousand citizens of Rocky River that morning to stop abortion and child sacrifice in Rocky River? 

FINALLY

You were there my pro-life friend and you do not even live in Rocky River. 

One day there will be a special place in Heaven for you Mike. 

Keep me in your prayers my pro-life friend, so I can endure in my pro-life effort like you.”

MEDITATION: SATAN CONTINUES TO ASSAIL PRO-LIFERS WHO ‘PUBLICLY’ SPEAK OUT AND STAND UP - FOR THE UNBORN BABY AND AGAINST ABORTION/DEATH AND CHILD SACRIFICE.  

Walk in faith and not by sight fellow pro-lifers who publicly speak out and stand up for the unborn baby and against abortion/death and child sacrifice. For Satan will continue to assail us - as he does to all he feels threatened by. 

You sacrifice much - just to stand up for the unborn in front of abortion clinics in Rocky River and throughout the World. Satan does not like that.

‘Great Sacrifice’ for the unborn is most pleasing to God.  Satan knows that, and it makes him mad that you sacrifice much and he tries to stop you by playing ‘mind games’ to make you feel a failure.  To make you feel no one is listening.  Yet you will not let him defeat you.  For God is listening.

GOD SEES YOU AND HE IS WELL PLEASED.

Stand firm and stay strong in God, my friend.  Satan is toothless and a coward yet he is cunning.  I am praying for you.  God sees you and He is well pleased.

Praise God, that God feels you are worthy of mistreatment in His Name for your reward in Heaven will be great.

Yet Satan cannot hurt you or stop you my friend.  Continue to call on Jesus, Mary His Mother and St. Michael the Archangel - Satan has already been defeated by Them.

FINALLY – PRAY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT HE WILL HELP YOU

Do not worry about what you are to pray when you are at an abortion clinic in Rocky River or throughout the World.  It is not you, who will be praying, but the Holy Spirit Who is telling you what to pray. Continue to place yourself in the Holy Spirit’s care in front of any abortion clinic. 

We are engaged in Spiritual Battle as we stand at the ‘Gate of Hell’s Portal’ at an abortion clinic in Rocky River or throughout the World.  Yet citizens of a community that has an abortion clinic in it do not realize the ‘grave spiritual danger’ that the community is putting itself into by allowing the abortion clinic to remain.  Exorcism of Satan is needed.

Yet with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost with us, we will never be defeated.

PRAYER: COME HOLY SPIRIT

“Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.”
