167664155Powerful Witness Praying across the street from a Planned Parenthood Building.
Across the street, you can see a woman standing next to Pilgrim, Paul Travers. Her name is "Blaire". She is Jewish and was a RADICAL feminist in college...who used to stand in the same place and spew profanities and obscenities to CATHOLICS who would pray. She told us that THIS day, and THIS moment, when she JOINED Catholics, in solidarity and prayed WITH them, for LIFE AND FREEDOM, was God's gift to her; allowing her to AMEND her life!
WOW! (Thank you, oh good and loving GOD!)

167664157Fatigue Sets In Poor, sweet Laura, struggling to persevere, with agonizing blisters on her feet. (She made it and walked EVERY step!) Laura wishes to thank ALL who prayed and encouraged her. (And, especially, Mrs. Betty Hickerson, who gifted her with an Aloe Vera plant when she got home...to heal those blisters!)
