The Power of Prayer

I don't have a lot of experience in Pro-Life work but since Brixton is on my doorstep, I thought I'd get involved for Lent. I've been struck by various things and feel very blessed to have had this experience.

Firstly, the amount of young, faithful people who want to pray with others and witness to our Lord and Saviour is beautiful and does my faith good!

Secondly, the depth of the wounds both personally and intergenerationally on our streets is palpable; the animosity and aggression I've seen must be signs of deep pain and we must redouble our prayers for the healing that only Christ, our divine physician, can deliver.

 Finally, in an age of social media sparring, I’m struck by how powerful I’ve found it to be silent and remain in prayer when insults are flying. Our Lord did not speak back from The Cross and I’m inspired to keep quiet a bit more (which my friends may approve of!) To close, it’s been a privilege to witness to love and truth; may more folk come to know God and know the true value of human life.

But What About Abortion In The Case Of Rape?

Many of you who have engaged in conversation with the passers-by at the vigil will have been asked the question, ‘but what about abortion in the case of rape?’ Firstly, we must recognise what a terrible thing it is for a woman to be raped and how she needs to be given all the love and support possible. But these women need real help, not abortion. Rather than helping women who are the victims of such a horrendous crime, the abortion industry seeks to make women yet another victim of their own abortion. One victim of rape asked the doctor, ‘will the abortion undo the rape?’ and he of course had to reply ‘no.’ Not only will the abortion not undo the rape, but it will instead only add another layer of guilt and physical and emotional trauma to the already wounded woman.

Abortion only perpetuates the cycle of violence. The argument for abortion in the case of rape, as with disability, is a direct assault on all those who have been conceived in that way. One such example of this is Rebecca Kiessling who was conceived from a knifepoint attack by a serial rapist. Her mother, afraid of an illegal abortion at the time, decided to carry her to term and put her up for adoption. When Rebecca found out about her violent beginning she spoke out against those who justify abortion in the case of rape. She said, “All those people are out there who don’t even know me, but are standing in judgment of my life, so quick to dismiss it just because of how I was conceived. I felt like I was now going to have to justify my own existence, that I would have to prove myself to the world that I shouldn’t have been aborted and that I was worthy of living” (Rebecca Kiessling). These powerful words of Rebecca remind us that whatever the circumstances of his or her birth, every human being is a unique and unrepeatable gift from God, created in his own image and likeness. Let us remember women like Rebecca who have every much right as we do to be here today, and please come and join us in witnessing to this at our prayerful vigil in Brixton.

The Clock Is Ticking for Abortion

And we're over the halfway mark of 40 Days for life, 18 days left to go! A huge thank you to all who have volunteered so far and if you have not yet volunteered don't miss out, the clock is ticking. Every day we're getting closer to the end of abortion! We're really starting to see the effect these vigils are having, people are starting to take notice in both positive and negative ways. As many of you will know the pavement around our vigil site has been decorated with graffiti, saying things such as "your body, your choice" and many other pro abortion slogans. It's often clear from the reactions and conversations at the vigil that we are touching people's consciences. 

It is important to remember through all this that no matter what people tell you we stand here for women and their babies to offer them real help and support

Those Helped By Good Counsel Share Their Stories

Some mothers who really were in difficult situations have kept their babies because of the pro-life vigils. 

One story I remember from a few years ago, is of a brave mother who changed her mind during 40 Days. She was living in a tiny one bed flat with her husband and two children and she had a lot of health problems. She also had financial problems because her husband had had to leave work because of her health. As a Christian she was not feeling good about her abortion appointment that day but she got our Good Counsel leaflet from someone outside the abortion centre and came to our centre to get the help she needed instead of going in for the abortion. The lady and her husband are always very grateful for the help received and we are continuing to help them today. The same lady stood up for us against the lies that were told about us to bring in buffer zones. She was a witness with other mothers and told the council how she was glad that we were there for her and for other mothers in difficult situations. 

A few months later her husband happened to be walking passed our vigil one day when someone shouted abuse at us. He politely told them the truth about the help we had given them so they stopped harassing us. 

That reminds me of another time we were at a 40 Days for Life vigil outside the abortion centre and one of the mothers we had helped was praying at the vigil with her child in the pushchair. A couple of young ladies stopped and were shouting at us and seemed very angry that we pro-lifers were there, and they were not in a hurry to go away. The mother who was with me, who had changed her mind about having an abortion years before, came over with her son and started explaining to these women about the help our centre had given her and her child, including help with accommodation, financial help and support and she pointed to her son in the pushchair. They were speechless and dumbfounded and walked away silently. But to my surprise half an hour later they came back and apologised to us and told us that they had changed their minds about us being there altogether!

Christ is with you at the Pro-life Vigil

Good Counsel has been plodding along helping Mothers for 29 years now, and we have learned in that time, the importance of the outreach to Mothers and of the prayers for them that happen at pro-life vigils. Despite the rising number of abortions, the ease with which abortions can be obtained now and the ever worsening legal situation around abortion in the UK, vigils remain a place where we can reach many passers by with a witness to life and an offer of help and support. Lighting a candle in a very dark world.

This Lent, the 2 London 40 Days for Life Campaigns have been blessed by the visit of many priests, a Bishop, an Archbishop and a Cardinal. What difference does that make to anything? Well, firstly, each bishop brings with him the authority of the Church, and the ability to bless us and our work and prayer in the name of the Church.  And secondly, when the clergy come to pray and witness with us, Christ comes in them in a particular way. Listen to Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald explain this from the writings of Cardinal Newman. 


Most of all, when the clergy come with us, they say with their actions "The Church is with you. Christ is with you. We support you as you preach the Gospel of Life from the Rooftops."

These Pro-Life Vigils Do Work!

I've witnessed many women change their minds and not have an abortion during 40 Days for Life over the years since it began in 2010, especially before the buffer zones came in. Due to my working with the Good Counsel Network and taking part in the vigils, I can remember some amazing turnarounds that were definitely God's intervention. But even now with the buffer zones in place we are still receiving wonderful news from time to time such as recently a friend came to tell us that a woman she knew did not show up for her abortion that morning. We have also had people come up to us in the street now and again and introduce us to their child, the ones whose mothers or fathers saw us praying and decided not to go ahead with their abortions. We had not known they had kept their babies but they had witnessed the people praying at the vigils as a sign from God that they should do the right thing and continue their pregnancy.

Come And Join 40 Days For Life If You Dare

We’re two weeks into 40 Days for Life, almost half way. Our Lord is under the cross and we’re trying to be there with Him. People are mocking and cursing Him, He’s exhausted, the whole world is against Him but He keeps on going. Why? Because He loves us, and life is worth it.

Our Lady is there and she’s the only one that sees Him. For those that don’t make it, at the very least we were there, and we saw them.

‘I was in prison and you came to me’ (Matthew 25:36).

Lord, when were You in prison and when did we visit You?


I was a little unborn baby in the womb. My mother was taking me to the abortion centre because everyone told her I wasn’t a life yet. You stood outside and offered her help. You prayed for her and for me.


Good Counsel Network has its vigils going all year round, but for 40 days the ante goes up. I’m thinking back to the first day. It’s dark and pouring with rain, I’m trying to sort out the display and my umbrella’s blowing inside out. I’m having to think on my feet. I’ve been wondering when it’s going to get real, and this is really it I’m thinking. I’m looking across at my friend. He’s white with the cold and he’s saying God bless you to a man who’s just told us to keep freezing. This is really it I’m thinking.

 

If you’re not in the fight for life what are you doing? If you’re not fighting for life are you really living?

 

Clocks ticking, now I don’t think I’m blogging anymore I’m rhyming.

 

These days in the UK, your chances of making it out of the womb and into the world are slim, just over two in three to be exact. Life doesn’t make its way into this world without a fight. Does that sound like the kind of fight you want to miss out on?

 

How much does it take to bring a baby into this world? The Hand of God, the prayers of Our Lady, a man and a woman plus two frozen vigilantes. One of them wasn’t meant to be there this long, someone is late and he’s saying the Hail Mary like he no longer knows what it means.

I'm approaching the vigil. From a distance it doesn’t look like much, two little people and a couple of signs by the side of the road. It seems to me these things don’t look so small to God because you get there and it's war.

 

I’m standing there, and I feel like I’ve found the place I came from. Who would have thought, this pavement in Ealing. I know why it is, it’s because my Mother is there, and I’m there, suffering my little splinter of what she suffered for me to be here.

 

Come and join us for 40 days if you dare. You might just find out who you really are. You don’t want to miss this for the world.

Prayers And Sacrifices Touch Hearts

40 Days for Life really does have an effect and can save many lives. I remember being in the reception of Good Counsel Network Centre during 40 Days for Life years ago when the reception area was full. There were three couples waiting to be counselled, one particular story I remember was a couple had been in the abortion centre and were talking to another couple showing them our leaflet so both couples decided to come to our centre for help together in a taxi. We've had mothers telling other abortion minded women about our centre after they have kept their babies. It's  great to witness how some of the mothers we help show their love for other mothers in need. There was one morning I will not forget in a hurry. It was a freezing morning outside the abortion centre. A beautiful young lady came out of the clinic with her boyfriend and she turned around and smiled at us. She said “Thank you, because you are here today in this freezing weather we have decided to keep our baby.” Its not often we hear how our prayers and sacrifices have touched the hearts of those who were about to have abortions but when we do hear we have these beautiful memories to cherish forever. Praise God for His intervention and all the babies that have been saved.

Serving Mothers & Offering Real Help!

Every day of work at the Good Counsel Network brings something different.  Our assistance doesn’t end with the birth of the child.  Some clients continue to need our help on an ongoing basis whilst others may contact us months or even years after originally being helped in order to get advice or assistance with something troubling. 

A single, working mother of two (living in very overcrowded conditions) contacted us in distress when she found she was unexpectedly pregnant with a 3rd child.  We initially provided her with advice on housing and how to access help from her local authority.  I also helped her search for more appropriate local housing.  In addition, we provided her with many practical goods for the baby, some financial support and information on grants and benefits for pregnant/new mothers.  It was because of this help that she decided to choose life for her child. 

Later in the pregnancy, when she suffered discrimination in the workplace due to the pregnancy, we helped her to get expert advice regarding her rights.  She again contacted us for advice on enrolling her older children in college. Then, after the baby’s birth, she contacted us to say her family was facing eviction, she was looking for help in her communication with the local housing authority.  When she was then moved into bed-bug infested temporary accommodation, we continued to advocate on her behalf and provide emotional support until the family was removed somewhere more suitable.

When I last spoke with her almost 1 ½ years after she first contacted us, she was happy to say that her older daughters were attending college (and doing well), her baby was thriving, and she had a new job and had just signed a rental contract for a property that very day.  She was so very thankful for all the support we provided to her and said she wouldn’t have been able to get through everything without the help and support of the Good Counsel Network.

Fear and Pressure in an Unexpected Pregnancy

Most of the women going for an abortion are doing so out of fear. Fear of how their life will change, fear of how they will manage financially, fear that they are not ready for a child. Many mothers face not only their internal fears but pressure from outside. Family, partners and culture can often add to the pressure a mother feels.

At the Annunciation the Angel Gabriel said to Our Lady, "Do not be afraid Mary", she was afraid when she was asked to be the Mother of God. God did not dismiss Mary's fear, He reassured her. Let us be Christ-like and meet these mothers on the street, reassure them and offer them the help and support they need to be able to keep and love their babies. Fear is real but it is not final, love pulls these mothers towards hope. That is why we are here in Brixton!

The Prayer Vigil in Brixton will run for 12 hours a day, 8am to 8pm, seven days a week from Ash Wednesday until Palm Sunday. If you could spare an hour or more to come and pray with us, it would be of great help. The vigil takes place at the corner of Brixton Water Lane, London, SW2 5BJ.

I See Your Archbishop And Raise You A Cardinal

Spending a large number of hours praying near an abortion centre at a 40 days for Life Vigil during Lent can sometimes be a bit disheartening, but to have the support of Priests, Bishops, Archbishops and Cardinals is very encouraging. Their presence can also be a great witness to mothers attending the abortion centre. Over the years we have seen a number of women choose life for their children when seeing a religious standing quietly in prayer. It can certainly give them something more to think about.

As you will have seen on this blog, Bishop David Waller of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, attended the 40 Days for Life vigil in Brixton, on Tuesday 17th February. This vigil was further blessed when His Grace, the Right Reverend John Wilson, the Archbishop of Southwark attended the vigil on Thursday 19th February.

Now we're very  pleased to say that the 40 Days for Life vigil in Ealing has been greatly blessed to have His Eminence Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald attend their vigil to lead the prayers today.

So that you do not feel left out by all of this. Please contact Sarah today 07776256838 to attend the vigil in Ealing, which will be run until 8pm on Palm Sunday. The vigil in Ealing like that in Brixton, runs seven days a week from 8am until 8pm each day.

The Prayer Vigil in Brixton will run for 12 hours a day, 8am to 8pm, seven days a week from Ash Wednesday until Palm Sunday. If you could spare an hour or more to come and pray with us, it would be of great help. The vigil takes place at the corner of Brixton Water Lane, London, SW2 5BJ.

It's Still Lent And We Still Need To Pray

Perhaps now that the original excitement we had when the 40 Days for Life Lent campaign started is over we are all finding it harder. There are still many days ahead and maybe you are finding it daunting, however just consider for a moment how much prayer and penance is being offered up at the Brixton vigil alone, at the end of the 40 days there will have been 480 hours of prayer and penance. Actually double that as there is always at least 2 people attending the vigil. Can you imagine how much prayer is then said all over the world as these campaigns take place. Remember we have God with us, it’s just a case of trusting him with the results.

The Prayer Vigil in Brixton will run for 12 hours a day, 8am to 8pm, seven days a week from Ash Wednesday until Palm Sunday.

Valerie Bears Witness to the Truth of Pro-Life Vigils


Today, some leftists in Brixton decided to have a "Defend Abortion Rights" Demonstration to "send the message that shame and intimidation are not welcome in our community". It seems that the groups involved did not read our signs before deciding to take offence, or they would surely have seen that we are only offering alternatives to abortion to those who want them. Furthermore, we are not there to shame or intimidate anyone, and have had many conversations with those who have had abortions, whatever their views, without feeling the need to shame or intimiate anyone. They went on to say in their leaflet that "Reform UK and Nigel Farage are in support of these kind of ['anti-abortion'] campaigns" - another favoured trope of the pro-abortion campaigner that all pro-lifers are racist, anti-immigrant, right wing, gun supporting, vaccine hating blah, blah,blah. 

The truth is far more diverse. The pro-life movement is full of people of all colours and races and every strand of political belief. Many people come into the movement because of their own, or a loved one's abortion and it's aftermath. Many others arrive into the movement after finding that scientifically a newly conceived life can only be a very tiny human - "A person's a person no matter how small" as Dr Seuss tells us!

This group met on the steps of Lambeth Town Hall at midday and they ranted about those anti-choicers up at our vigil. Their demo was about to close when a brave black woman - I'll call her Valerie - stepped forward to speak. She told them that she did not agree with them, that she herself had had two abortions. She said her first abortion when she was only in her teens was in the Brixton abortion centre. She said that she wished the vigil had been there for her, and she might have been able to choose life for her child instead. She described the pain and suffering of having a second abortion, because no-one was there to offer her help or support. They began to respond and tell her she was only 1 person and not everyone felt like her. She refused to be brushed off by this and she said "There are others who feel like I do. You are criticising the people praying up the road, but what can you offer to people like me who are suffering after an abortion? You want me to have abortions and you want to demand my right to abortion, but I have had an abortion and I have the pain and trauma of going through that. What help have you got for me?" Of course the answer is "No help at all". But the protestors did not answer her at all. They began to walk away. When she told them "Abortion kills a child" they told her she was being agressive, and they all left. 

However, after they left, Valerie came up to the Vigil to meet with us, and to recount what had happened. 

While this was going on, up at the vigil, no doubt encouraged by the demo, a local jogger stopped to pointedly spit at our sign which proclaims "Women and children deserve better than abortion" and which bears our helpline number. Meanwhile a passing driver put their hand on the horn for a full minute while waving at us with just one finger. Then a local passing by came up to us with a confused look on his face and said "I've been up the road and down the road and I want to ask, - Why are people giving you such abuse?" - a very good question!

When Valerie arrived, she told us the whole story of what had happened. She too was confused by the fact that her story was of no interest to the self-styled "women's rights advocates". But as someone with a faith in God, she quickly recognised that their movement was all about politics and not about people. As she told them of her sorrow at the loss of her two children, they explained to her that 'there are too many children in the world anyway.' 

She thanked us and asked God to bless us. She said she had prayed about whether to come today, and felt that God wanted her too. She thanked God for sending her a son after she had gone through two abortions and she told us how repentant she felt about them. And before she left us, she encouraged us to keep praying, and she said "I've got your back!"

It's not easy being at a vigil. I take my hat off to the vigil volunteers who are there daily or several times a week and put up with all kinds of abuse from passers by. But on the worst of days, we need to remember the many "Valeries" out there, not all as brave as today's Valerie, and not all willing to speak up, but those who pass by quietly and offer a prayer in their hearts for lost children and those who try to reach out and help Mothers.
