Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

We had a very wonderful, grace filled, transforming retreat this weekend for over 20 women.

Here are a couple of pictures of our theme scene at the altar, but I have to say, they totally do not do it justice…our theme for this Lent was "Sharing the Heart of Mary", from the crucifixion to her holding us,in our healing journey, and our children in her arms as she did Jesus…The talks were based on scripture and quotes from the book, "In the Arms of Mary" by S.C. Beila

Praise God for a wonderful retreat and many thanks to Father Solanus, CFR, the women who gave talks and the SV's for hosting us!
