Lori and I just returned from picking up the venerable green van from its 40 Days for Life station in the parking lot at Holy Trinity.  We stopped for one last time of prayer to close the vigil.  As we prayed the rosary a man in a passing car rolled down his window and braved a cold wind to give us a shouted message as he passed us in the dark.  I could not discern the first part, but he ended with “No one cares a !?&#.” I thought, “How fitting and true his message is!”  THIS is why we stand vigil, because NO ONE CARES for these children – the least of these, our unborn brothers and sisters.  We must pray, fast, stand vigil, sacrifice, work, inform, and educate — UNTIL EVERYONE DOES CARE.

BTW – If you have a sec and want to checkout some really imaginative fiction about the Bremerton vigil, go to the Emily X website and read the October 30th post.  We can only hope when they say, “…some women who need our services don’t come here because they’re intimidated by the protesters.” that women have indeed been deterred by our prayerful presence.
