| May our prayers to end abortion join us in a chain of prayer warriors that circles the world! |
Editor's note: This email from jail describes the prayer plan for the month of October, Respect Life month. It also provides the first two weeks of prayer intentions suggested by Will and John as they offer their imprisonment for deliverance. I'm only including the first week and will post the second week next Sunday.
Abortion is a scourge on the earth that Mother Teresa predicted would lead to nuclear war. Certainly, we are long overdo for a violent chastisement that matches the violence against the most innocent among us. Please join in this pilgrimage of prayer for deliverance.
From: Will Goodman and John Hinshaw - political prisoners for life in federal lock-up.
Followers of Jesus know, better than others, the power of the prayers of the persecuted. Prayers emanating from a jail cell arrive urgently to the Savior's ear and He has shown that he will quicken His pace in answer. Knowing this, we, Will and John, raise our united voices to Christ, humbly begging Him to use us and our sacrifice to work His Will in the world.
Specifically we pray: "O Lord Over the Storm, in this dark time we beg of You (as our Divine Rescuer) to sanctify a period of DELIVERANCE, wherein Pro-Life efforts are redeemed, babies are rescued, moms are saved and souls of sinners saved. Please cover our incarceration period with your Precious Blood and abundant graces to hide babies from harm and save their parents. In You, Lord Jesus we ask. In You we trust! Amen"
To ALL Pro-Lifers we say get ready for this period of DELIVERANCE. We call on you to re-double your efforts and let us use this opportunity for unity in our love for God and each other. To this end, we offer an opportunity - so many already helping us and praying FOR us - come and pray WITH us!!! Christians know that walls cannot separate us from God's Love, nor from love for one another. Pro-Lifers have always known this struggle to be spiritually based - let us get serious in our prayers and preparation. Let us, together, boldly call on Jesus for a time of DELIVERANCE!! Let us, together humbly BELIEVE He will respond!!
Since we believe we have been imprisoned, in part, to cover-up the slaughter and abortion crimes of Cesar Santangelo (see #justiceforthefive): WE HAVE CHOSEN THE TIME OF 5:55 PM EACH DAY, WHEN YOU CAN JOIN US IN PRAYER. WE COMMIT PRAYERS EVERY DAY AT THAT TIME FROM OUR CELLS. WE WILL BEGIN THE CALL FOR DELIVERANCE ON THE FIRST DAY OF RESPECT LIFE MONTH - SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2023
The choice of 5:55 PM will help enshrine in remembrance #justiceforthefive as the crime of our federal justice system and to lovingly commit these 5 victims and all precious preborn babies to our heart and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We invite you be creative, perhaps gathering together, perhaps using commemorative sites, perhaps enhanced by fasting and inviting your Churches and pastors to unite with us in prayer. We ask that you start at 5:55 PM with the opening prayer for DELIVERANCE given at the top. From there, Will and John will provide the intentions and prayers that they will praying for on that day. For the week of October 1st - the prayers will be posted here (and elsewhere) by Friday, September 29. As you will see, we are fully conscious that many Christians are praying for us and wish to unite in prayer with us, so we will be utilizing different sources for our prayers. Obviously the opportunity of "taking five for Life" fits Catholic Prayer such as the Decades of the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet, Eucharistic Adoration, but we will also be utilizing Scripture, such as The Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Wisdom, The Gospels, etc. so that ALL CHRISTIAN VOICES CAN join. If you have creative ideas for prayer and practice. please send them to us and we will use them. This site can provide you with how to reach us. The goal is to unite in intense prayer, intense sacrifice and desperate pleading for DELIVERANCE. ALL FOR BABIES AND MOMS. Whatever prayers you direct for us, we ask that you not use this time. THIS TIME IS RESERVED FOR PRAYING FOR DELIVERANCE. PLEASE GRACIOUSLY HEAR US O LORD OVER THE STORM.
My friends, the capricious love of God (how can he love sinners like us so much?) has led us to capriciously respond - these prayers, and especially scriptural prayers, have been chosen quite capriciously - we are open to being led by God's design in here, rather than seeking our favorite passages. Please pray the scripture, taking time for meditation. We decided to start with Joyful Mysteries for the joy we feel.
Herewith the first two weeks:

Scripture: Isaiah 55 - pray all of it.

Today at the Life Chain, many of our Woodstock neighbors gave thumbs up, honked for life, and waved. Only a few made obscene gestures or screamed at those standing and quietly praying. I especially prayed for a carload of angry young women who screeched through the parking lot as they screamed in support for the killing of children. Truly, they embodied the spirit of Lady Macbeth who ended up losing her mind because of her evil murderous deeds.
Father, forgive them; they know not what they do.
Please pray unceasingly to end abortion.
I googled #justiceforthefive and came on this website ("progressive antiabortion uprising"); I'm glad I finally did since "progressive" in the name of this group always gave me pause:

I then clicked on "about us", "our team:"
"Terrisa (Bukovinac) is an atheist, leftist, and the Founder of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU)."
"Lauren (Handy) is a queer Catholic, anarcho-mutualist, prison abolitionist, and is the Director of Activism for the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising.

Before it was ever 'respect life' month, October was the month of the holy rosary (honoring and respecting Our Lady by meditating on the life of the Messiah, Jesus Christ). At Fatima, Our Lady asked Catholics to pray the rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the world. Not sure if you or they say "Abortion is a scourge on the earth that Mother Teresa predicted would lead to nuclear war" but they say: "Obviously the opportunity of "taking five for Life" fits Catholic Prayer such as the Decades of the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet, Eucharistic Adoration, but we will also be utilizing Scripture, such as The Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Wisdom, The Gospels, etc. so that ALL CHRISTIAN VOICES CAN join." [How come it's all right for pro-lifers to pray with and call heretics "Christian" but not pope francis? How come it is all right for them to insult Our Lord and Lady?]
ReplyDeleteRather than a whole rosary, they pray one decade a day: "First decade of Rosary - First Joyful Mystery - The Annunciation -The Salvation of mankind (emphasis on man), like the Abrahamic Covenant of old (what is the purpose of 'of old' here), begins with a baby in the womb." [one really wonders how much meditation they have done on the rosary--which is the life of Christ whom Catholics are called to imitate "For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps." (1 Peter 2:21); let's just throw the incarnation under the bus to hype a type of the new testament (or prolife/babies (?)). And they ignore the sacrifice Abraham makes in (Gen15) at about 80? (Ishmael is born when he is 86) and the circumcision he does on himself at 99 (Gen17) before Isaac is finally born in Gen21 when he is 100 after he intercedes for Sodom which God is intending to investigate because of the outcry (prayers He has received) and destroys because there are not TEN JUST MEN after rescuing Lot (Abraham's intercession)].
I pray for deliverance every time I pray the "Our Father": "Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil. Amen"
What does it mean "to sanctify a period of DELIVERANCE"?
Is this not cheapening the sacrifice of Christ/blasphemous: "wherein Pro-Life efforts are redeemed" [Christ redeemed all our souls on the cross]?
What does this mean: "moms are saved and souls of sinners saved"? (passing BTW praying for "fathers" is never mentioned)
Who is their intended audience: "Can we, indeed, bear the sins of others? And intercede for the transgressors? LET'S FIND OUT! "Because He surrendered Himself to death, was counted among the transgressors, Bore the sins of many and interceded for the transgressors'" [In plain English what are they saying: Can we pray for sinners? Can we make reparation for our sins and those of others? This is Catholic 101; Luke 13:3 & 5; Both Peter & Paul Epistles & Lourdes & Fatima.]
three times makes her urgent appeal: “Penance, penance, penance!”

"Finally, there is the unprecedented participation of Herb Geraghty—biologically a female who, donning the appearance of a man, now identifies as a non-binary “male.” Despite this defendant’s atheism and view of human sexuality, Geraghty is totally committed to the pro-life cause—willing to face eleven years in prison in defense of the unborn."

On Friday, October 14, a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia indicted 25-year-old Herb Geraghty on charges of participating in a “conspiracy against rights” and violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Now he’s facing up to eleven years in prison in addition to a $260,000 fine for blocking the entrance to an abortion clinic.
Geraghty, a board member of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU) and Pro-Life Alliance of Gays and Lesbians, as well as the executive director of Rehumanize International, is the tenth activist to face charges pertaining to an incident that occurred in October 2020. The rest of the indictments were handed down in March of this year. Geraghty and fellow pro-life activists are alleged to have “engaged in a conspiracy to create a blockade at the reproductive health care clinic to prevent the clinic from providing, and patients from receiving, reproductive health services.”
...Geraghty, who said that as far as he knows, he is the first atheist to be charged under the FACE Act, expressed gratitude for the support he’s received from all of the constituent parts of the pro-life movement.
