Praying at Abortion Mills--What is Going On?

It is amazing how few Catholics believe that the devil is a real personal being, a fallen angel. Some say they believe this, but in practice they do not. The devil’s greatest strategy is to get people to believe he does not act, or not very much, or that he does not exist. In reality he is incredibly active. He still goes about “like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” That someone is me, you, everyone. He is always subtle, but sometimes obvious as well, such as in the case of demonic possession or demonic infestation (demonic influence on a place). I know three families currently who have been undergoing a variety of frightening events. But before I continue please do check out this interview with Fr. Gabriel Amorth, Chief Exorcist of Rome when you have chance.

One place he is very active is at abortion facilities. It is a fact that the devil is behind every willful killing of an innocent person. In addition to this—not many people are aware of this—to Satanists the more innocent a victim that is killed as a sacrifice to the devil (yes, this happens), the more pleasing they believe it is to the devil. Concerning abortion, over 1 million babies are murdered in our country alone every year. Is it a coincidence that:

a) the devil is behind every murder
b) Satanists prefer more innocent victims, and
c) abortion is world-wide murder on a never-before-seen scale?

Of course it is not—that’s why Fr. John Hardon calls abortion “world-wide Satanism.” I don’t mean that women who have abortions are Satanists—that’s not at all what I mean, and I am sure most of them are not. I don’t even mean that the abortionists are—but is the devil literally behind abortion? Yes. Does he possess some people whose sins include abortion? Yes (Fr. Gabriel Amorth alludes to this in his book, “An Exorcist Tells His Story”, page 59).

And this is one of the reasons it is very good to pray at abortion facilities. The evil one is active at these places, but he cannot stand to be in the presence of holy Catholics. He especially cannot stand, after Our Lord Himself, the Blessed Mother, and the demons are very scared of St. Michael. So when holy Catholics go to abortion sites and pray the Rosary, the St. Michael prayer and the Divine Mercy Chaplet they not only do much good for the women going into the abortion mill (giving them perhaps the last grace they will get to not murder their children), it is also like hitting the demon in the head with a bat, and every time we go to these places to pray it is like hitting the devil with a bat again—eventually the devil simply cannot stand it any longer and leaves. This is why when we pray at abortion mills there is such an angry reaction on the part of pro-abortion people: it’s not just that they don’t want to lose business and money—the devil is angry and is working through them to stop holy Catholics from praying at these places of death.

Praying at abortion mills is also a good example to the people that work in these places, and some of them have left and are now pro-life due to the prayer and example of these holy Catholics. And need I say that babies are alive today and mothers have been spared lives of torment because these good Catholics were there? There are numerous examples of this.

This brings me to one more point (for today anyway!) about praying at abortion mills—people sometimes wonder why so few people go there to pray. The usual answer is that people are scared because the media makes it seem that praying there will get them hurt, arrested, branded as a crazy person, etc: but none of these things could be further from the truth! Well, you may be labeled a fanatic, but so what? Being holy and saving lives and souls is much better, and when you suffer for doing what is right, Jesus said you are blessed! Anyway, peacefully praying at these places while standing on public property is legal. Look at the Priests for Life website and find on-line their booklet, “Our Media is the Streets” for more information on what is legal concerning praying at abortion mills. But the bottom line is, praying there with your parish group, while standing on public property, is something every Catholic should do. And this fear of praying at abortion mills, need I even say it, is a trick of the devil who works, even apart from the media, on people’s imaginations—he gets people to think it is not worth the trouble, it will be difficult, they have other things to do, something bad will happen, their reputation will be ruined, etc almost ad infinitum. All lies. He is adept at tricking people and keeping people away from praying at abortion mills, which is why relatively few Catholics go there—the devil does not want holy Catholics going there, and will go to incredible lengths to stop it. But I’ll tell you what—consecrate yourself to the Blessed Mother and she will protect you from the deceits of the devil, and lead you to her Son and to holiness.

I pray that many more Catholics go to pray at abortion mills.
