After not being outside of Doctor Emily's Abortion Clinic for nearly two weeks, I realized how much I missed assisting confused women in that setting. When I went on Saturday morning, I knew I was tired and really didn't want to be there. But as soon as the girls came strolling onto the block, I knew this was all part of God's plan, thus I knew to accept it.
After two hours of uninterrupted sidewalk counseling, two friars showed up outside the front of clinic to pray and sidewalk counsel. When they arrived a feeling of calm instantly surrounded the entire area, however that tranquility was soon interrupted by several shouting girls and escorts.
In the middle of the squabble was the one of the friars who was peacefully counseling a girl, meanwhile one belligerent escort yelled about the rights of women and other rude comments. The friar took it all in a stride, turned his cheek in Christ-like fashion, and continued to explain abortion-related things to the girl.
This is the example of Christ on the frontline of the battle is a sight to see, as is witnessing the emotional and angry display of a woman who is simply ignorant.
