Near the end of our prayer experience, I looked into the sky and saw a "cross" which had formed from the clouds or maybe from some airplane's exhaust which had traveled above us. Whatever the cause, I took it as a gift from God that we had done a good job being present during that time and Jesus Christ was present with each member of my group.
I look forward in the upcoming weeks to continue this Saturday Morning prayer exercise of praying in front of an abortion clinic. I also remember that we are not alone. Our fellow walkers on the Northern and Central Crossroads Walks are doing the same thing to promote a Culture of Life which Pope John Paul II had challenged the youth at World Youth Day 1993 in Denver, CO by going into the streets and proclaiming the Gospel of Life.
How wonderful it must have been to look up in the sky and see that cross. Thank you for sharing your experiences as you travel. You most certainly are not alone.
ReplyDeleteFr. Hanley was back celebrating the Mass today. He dedicated the "Our Father" prayer to you and your fellow walkers, calling you all brave and courageous in your mission. If you felt any special grace around 12:00 (EST) today, it came from St. William's.
