Ailing Pro-Life Advocate Holds Vigil in the Cold
Via Maine Family Policy Council:
Michaud, whose single-minded mission is to “end child killing,” happened to be at the local Wal-Mart last November. A little girl came running over to him. “She came up to me in the grocery department,” Michaud recalled, “and she said, ‘my mom wants to say something to you.’ The mother said, ‘never stop, because you saved my granddaughter.’
“Now I can never stop. There is no greater joy, there is nothing I can do that can bring greater joy. Nothing, nothing, nothing. I’m going to be an emotional wreck because of that.”
Michaud, 49, spoke from the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, where he had been praying. Beginning on Feb. 14, he will spend four hours a day, five days a week in the chilling morning cold outside Family Planning Association Maine on Gabriel Drive in Augusta, for the “40 Days for Life” campaign that coincides with Lent.
It was there, last autumn, when Michaud made this great encounter. The grandmother he saw later at Wal-Mart and her daughter were there for an abortion. That’s when he and God saved the life of a little girl who is now six months old.
I eagerly await the day when the pro-life movement finds the courage to boldly speak out on behalf of Iraqi and Afghani children whose innocent lives have been aborted by the US military.
