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.
