Yesterday morning we arrived at Liz's and began to open up the office. Liz came out of one of the counseling rooms and said "Look, look across the street! The CFR's are here!"
With excitement and joy we joined the Capuchin Franciscans of the Renewal in praying outside the Planned Parenthood that is across the street from the EMC center on E 149th St.
After being out there for a few minutes the Planned Parenthood workers got agitated so they sent out makeshift escorts wearing little vests that read "Planned Parenthood Clinic Escorts."
I found that quite comical in that they were so threatened by the presence of goodness. Obviously they were flustered because they know that the truth really does make an impact on their business and we have the truth.
It was so beautiful to see many of the members of the community making the sign of the cross as they passed by the Divine Mercy Jesus and Our Lady of Guadalupe images.
In addition to that Liz kept sending down material to us so we could inform the community about abortion and that this was an abortion clinic.
We are so grateful that the CFR's were able to join us on the streets yesterday. Their presence and prayers defiantly enable us to keep fighting the good fight.
