My husband and I just wanted you to know of our support and prayers for you at this time, and to thank you. We can only begin to imagine how difficult the last few months must have been for you, and we do pray the Lord will protect you, body, mind and spirit as you continue in your campaign. 'The battle is not yours, but God's' (2 Corinthians 20.15).

I am now a Christian but four years ago when I had an abortion I was not close to God. I tried to cope for a long time without any help but the strain was too much and I thank God for the people who brought me back to church and helped me get my life back together. I know that God forgives me but there is not a day that I do not ask for His forgiveness and for His help to other women who are in the same circumstances that I was in. I know He listens to prayer, even such unimportant ones as mine. I will keep you also in these daily prayers, these women need our help.

We praise God for the way in which you presented the Second Reading of your Bill. Having prayed for it, and for you, we were reassured of the Lord's blessing, in the straightforwardness of the Reading. As doctors we have seen so many cases of women misled by doctors and poor ethical standards among the counselling clinics, we pray daily for our profession and both those who perform these abortions and those who can resist the pressure.

I am not a constituent, just a humble admirer. I do not expect a reply, but I did just want you to know that I go to Mass every morning and I remember you and your team in my prayers. I think that prayers early in the morning are clearer and crisper than at any other time of the day, and so that is the time I offer up my thoughts of your campaign.
