The weather on Saturday afternoon was cloudy and rainy - a fitting recognition from nature of the sad activities taking place inside the building. There weren't many of us there in that time slot from noon until 1:00 - but we huddled together and prayed the Rosary and invoked the aid of Saint Michael. As our hour came to an end, we were joined by additional prayer warriors, who decided to remain in their vehicle due to the soggy weather, and the difficulty it presented for maneuvering a wheelchair. Therefore, we literally had the entrance to PP flanked with prayer on both sides, when a single young woman in a silver vehicle pulled in. She came to a sudden stop in the drive, but because she pulled up far enough to indicate that she wasn't seeking to engage in a discussion with us, we simply started to pray fervently to the Blessed Mother. After several minutes, the car made a wide turn and drove back out and away from the facility - with the young woman talking on her cell phone. While we don't know for sure what circumstances brought her to the PP that day, we were all encouraged by what appeared to be a definite change of plans! We continue to hope it also meant a change of heart.
