Msgr. Philip Reilly’s Vision of 9/11’s
Connection to Abortion
By John-Henry Westen
ROME, October 18, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com)
- Msgr. Philip Reilly, the founder of Helpers of
God’s Precious Infants, delivered a fascinating
address to attendees of the Human Life
International World Prayer Congress last week.
Reilly, who has devoted most of his 50-year-long
priestly ministry to the pro-life cause,
recounted his experiences of the horrific
September 11, 2001 terrorist attack from the
perspective of a native New Yorker.
“On the morning of 9/11 I was praying and
counseling outside of a large abortion clinic in
Brooklyn,” said Msgr. Reilly. “The abortion mill
is located a few blocks from New York Harbor, at
a point where you could look across the Harbor
and easily see the Twin Towers.”
“The wind was blowing that day from Manhattan to
Brooklyn,” recalled the veteran pro-life leader.
“So when the Towers came down, an incredible
black cloud came over our heads. Outside the
abortion mill, it became midnight at midday.”
Committed as he is to praying for the women
contemplating abortion and the abortionists
themselves, Msgr. Reilly refused to abandon them
even on that day, when he wanted to go to Ground
Zero. Reilly noted that due to the disaster all
businesses stopped but, he said, “There was a
bizarre exception, namely the killing of unborn
babies continued, especially at the mill where I
was counseling. Inside the abortion mill, they
were actually watching the events unfold on TV,
yet the killing of the babies inside continued.”
“Thus I could not leave the mill at that time to
go to Ground Zero,” he said. “I didn’t get to
Ground Zero until it was midnight.”
Msgr Reilly described how helpless he felt
standing at Ground Zero at midnight. He noted
that he then decided to pray the rosary and
described his vision:
As I prayed the rosary, I closed my eyes and
with my eyes closed, I suddenly saw the people
in the Tower getting ready for work at 9 a.m.
Some were getting a drink of water, others a cup
of coffee, all feeling safe and secure inside
their office. Then I saw the terrorist plane
breaking into their secure quarters and
exploding like a great bomb with the people in
the office having no place to hide, no place to
flee. Then still standing at midnight at Ground
Zero, I saw not the people in the Towers, but I
saw a womb with an unborn child inside, feeling
so safe and secure and suddenly breaking through
the wall of the womb was this terrorist object,
the instrument of the abortionist, with the
child having no place to hide, no place to flee
from this terrorist instrument.
Msgr. Reilly concluded his address noting that
when he opened his eyes, there at Ground Zero,
“it became absolutely clear to me that Ground
Zero is ongoing. Be not afraid then to go
Golgotha, to the abortion clinic, to Ground Zero
near you, to rescue the unborn children.”
