Praying for Dr Hodari's Conversion with Pro-Life Saints
On March 25, during the 40 Days For Life campaign, one of our prayer warriors had an encounter with Dr Hodari on Southfield Rd.
This is what happened:
She writes: I was praying alone (8-9 am) when Dr Hodari pulled up and parked in the front lot (it's unusual to see him park in the front lot - he always parks in back of the building, or off-site somewhere and has an employee drive him in.) He took a long time getting out of his car. I stopped walking and stood praying, in front of his car, that I would find the right words to speak to him. As he got out I said to him gently, "Dr. Hodari, I just want you to know how hard I have been praying for you. I fast every Wed and Fri---I don't eat anything all day---and I offer that for you--that you will have a change of heart about what you are doing".
He never said a word or made eye contact but I felt he was listening... and he looked very sad and frail.
This is very different than the arrogant confident attitude he has always seemed to have in the past and it moved me very much and raised my hopes! Especially in light of the experience I had a week ago!
Last week while we were praying the rosary here at the abortion mill, our group dedicated the 5th sorrowful mystery for Dr. Hodari's conversion. As I meditated on the cruifixion I was thinking of St Longinus holding the spear that pierced the heart of Jesus---and of how he was converted.
Suddenly I saw very clearly---almost like a small vision---the face of Dr Hodari's guardian angel! His face was radiant with joy and at the same time a terrible fierce look of determination - like one who is going to war. I understood that his angel was overjoyed that we were praying for this lost soul in his charge.... and then I noticed Dr. Hodari kneeling off to the side. Almost immediately the angel turned, lifted the spear into his hand and very forcefully thrust it into Dr Hodari's heart. It was such a short vision but I have been so happy thinking that maybe God was letting me/us know that our prayers are beginning to bear fruit in his soul. I don't believe that the work is completed but that something powerful has begun.
I have a very deep devotion to the Blessed Mother, and I don't believe it was a coincidence that this encounter with Dr. Hodari happened on March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation - the day we celebrate the Incarnation of Christ!
Keep praying for Dr Hodari..More now than ever ! If you would like to pray for Dr Hodari's conversion, you can join others and offer up prayers and sacrifices on Wed's and Fri's. God has called us to do this great work with Him, so we are not alone, because He is our Pilot and the Hound of Heaven.
