A touch of
hands. Stretch your fingers just enough to reach Him. That is all you need.
That is all He wants you to do. Because He is there, wanting you beside Him,
wanting you in His arms, feeling loved, happy, calm, safe and sound...
This is
Lorena, a new Spanish intern in the Lifehouse of the Bronx, NYC, and this is
one of the first experiences that I have had during my first week here.
Today, Saturday
27th of April, Carlos and I went to Emily´s to try and save some women from
making a decision they will always regret, to try and speak for these babies
that are crying out begging for a chance
to behave as children, to try and help
them with anything they could require or simply to try and just BE, and I mean
the capitals, be there for them.
I´m not
going to describe how aggressive the security guards were to us, how they
shouted, provoked, and tried to make us leave. I have to say that all that is
the least important thing. The most important
are these poor women that are just being led to an abortion not being
given all the alternatives that they have, and that are being literally pushed in the
clinic making them believe that is their own right, their own body. These women
that, believe it or not, are surrounded
by the security guards´ arms at the entrance of the clinic so that they can not
listen to us just in case a Miracle happens and we can celebrate a Turn Around. This women, sooner or later, will come back to their Father in Heaven, and so
will the security guards. Now we just have to stand there showing them how great and merciful is God´s love and if it
is His will, it will come.
