Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

I'll leave you with these thoughts of St. Claude de la Colombiere

"When I see a Christian grief-stricken at the trials God sends him
I say to myself:  Here is a man who is grieved at his own happiness.
He is asking
God to be delivered from something he ought to be thanking Him for.
I am quite sure
that nothing more advantageous could happen to him than what causes him so much grief.
I
have a hundred unanswerable reasons for saying so.
But if I could read into the future
and see the happy outcome of his present misfortune, how greatly strengthened I would be in
my judgment!  If we could discover the designs of Providence it is certain we would
ardently long for the evils we are now so unwilling to suffer.
We would rush forward
to accept them with the utmost gratitude if we had a little faith and realized how much God
loves us and has our interests at heart."

Not an easy thing to put into practice...thanking God for our struggles…yet in all things….

There will be no blogging again until Sunday or Monday….
please keep our retreatants in your prayers….
