Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

  Just thought I would share this with those of you who may not have seen it given the time of year…the day I wrote this was a great comfort to me…pure grace…                                                                                              12/01

 I held my unborn son today,

A grace I truly felt.

He came to me in prayer

While before Our Lord I knelt.

I felt his little cheek brush mine as I
pressed him to my chest.

His little arms clung to my neck,

His head, on my shoulder rest.

Our Lady gave this gift to me,

A moment of pure grace

As we await the birth of Christ,

The savior of our race

For although I’ve never been allowed to love
my son on earth

She has showed me that a mother’s love
transcends a human birth.

For there within the heart of Christ born in
this time of joy

I clearly see the image of another baby boy

Reflected in the love of Christ

Who came to bring salvation

To every soul, in every land, in every
single nation.

Emmanuel, God with us,

Uniting time and space

For in His gaze I truly know

I saw my child’s face.
