Breaking News Dublin Ireland
Today up to 15 000 people streamed in from all over Ireland to Protest the new abortion law. Vox Populi cheered as a speaker said, "We are not going away."
Statue of Our Lady
Everywhere the eye looked, Pro-Life message posters and dedicated Irish citizens stood patiently undeterred by the cool and sometimes softly raining weather. They had all waited for this day as they continue to campaign to have the abortion law repealed.
And, in the middle of the crowd, a lady quietly carried a statue of Our Lady. As prolifers passed, they quietly touched the statue's hand as a mark of reverence for the Mother of God. The message was clear; Mary, the Mother of Christ and the Protector of Life, was here among all as they stood together to Protect the Unborn Child.
Vox Populi carried posters, among them pictures of mother and baby with the words 'Protect them'.
Others gave out leaflets with the posters marking the words "We will not rest until this abortion law is overturned."
The respect for the Sanctity of Life of the Unborn Child in Ireland is paramount.
Innocence continues to be protected; the right to life of the Unborn Child is sacred.
Julie Holcombe
Julie Holcombe sent a video message to the people gathered at the National Vigil for Life in Ireland, encouraging all not to give up hope until the abortion law is overturned. She recalled the tragic experience of her own termination of pregnancy, as 'horrible'. Julie further encouraged the crowds to keep on in the fight for truth, justice and keeping life.
From Kitchen to Kitchen
Wendy Grace affirmed that the people of Ireland will not rest until the abortion law is overturned. Great cheers erupted from the crowd. Caroline Simons from Prolife Campaign spoke with determination and grace, about the people in Ireland. From kitchen to kitchen, the people of Ireland are gathering in their determination to have this law repealed.
Tradition to St Patrick
"Direct Abortion is an unmitigated evil," speaker David Manley said frankly. David spoke of Ireland's tradition going back to St Patrick, and the crowds listened, cheering from time to time.
Perinatal Hospice Care
Jennifer Kehoe explained Perinatal Hospice Care, and many in the crowd broke down in tears as the Warner family courageously shared their story (see link below).
As the crowds cheered, waved ProLife placards and sent up balloons, Vox Populi rallied around to shake the hands of Prolife representatives.
Protecting the Innocent Unborn
The Pro Life Campaign spoke of the brave men and women of the Oireachtas who voted against abortion, and whom the crowds cheered and revere as the new icons of Ireland - those who protect the Innocent Unborn.
Cora Sherlock spoke with inspiration that there is no need for an abortion law in Ireland. Ms Sherlock also paid tribute to Tom O'Gorman RIP who did such dedicated work for Prolife in Ireland.
Hope for Healing
Lynn Coles of Womenhurt spoke of the devastation that the termination procedure causes in the lives of women. Lynn is a Certified Leader in the Life Impact Network Abortion Recovery Study 'Surrendering the Secret'. For those who live with the pain of a past abortion, there is tremendous hope for healing. All enquiries re this Study are strictly confidential (See link below).
Mother of God is Beacon of Strength
At the end of the day, all streamed home. The right to life of the Unborn Child is enshrined in the hearts of all who came to the Vigil today, and the numbers that came today are - as one of the speakers so aptly said - only the tip of the iceberg.
And, in the Rosaries prayed today and the Statue carried so reverently symbolised, the Mother of God continues to shine among us as a Beacon of Strength.
