Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Consoler: Do I move towards God in my
suffering or do I move away? Do I believe he is always there for me as
consoler?

I must admit, some days lately it is hard not to get discouraged with all the attacks against life. There is so much suffering as a result of abortion…mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings…and yet our society continues to allow the destruction of the unborn with everyone pretending that it is just fine. That monster in the room we do not speak about.

Between this promotion of abortion, the disregard for the sanctity of the human person, the honoring of pro abortion politicians at so many catholic institutions and the recent petition
campaign by Planned Parenthood that pressures governments to promote, better access to sexual and
reproductive health services for young
people regardless of age, I can till have a that tendency to move away when I feel discouraged, but I have learned that these are the precise times I need to move towards God not away. (It
is obvious Planned Parenthood does not care at all for these same young
people when they show up at my door suicidal because they have had an
abortion. what we really need is for our youth to be protected from
them!)

I think of the apostles and what things must have looked like to them when Jesus was arrested, and I pray for the grace to hang on. I go before the Blessed Sacrament and tell Him my struggles and pray for the grace to know what it is He would have me do.When things seem out of control and it looks like we are loosing, look to the Resurrection…they may pass laws, our Catholic institutions may honor pro abortion politicians, Planned Parenthood may continue to push its agenda, but Jesus Christ rose from the dead, is alive, and is there to console us in times of suffering.
