Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Catholic News Agency reports today that the Vatican has announced that former Popes John Paul II and John XXIII are slated to be canonized this coming spring on Divine Mercy Sunday! 

"Blessed John Paul II is perhaps one of the most well-known pontiffs in
recent history, and is most remembered for his charismatic nature, his
love of youth and his world travels, along with his role in the fall of
communism in Europe during his 27-year papacy.

The cherished Polish Pope died in 2005, marking his 2011 beatification
as one of the quickest in recent Church history, and is the first Pope
to be beatified by his immediate successor."

Many postabortive women are familiar with the loving and kind words that Bl. Pope John Paul II spoke to women who have had an abortion in his encyclical
letter Evangelium Vitae (EV), the Gospel of Life. The words he spoke are a soothing mantra for those who have suffered from abortion.

"You will come to understand that nothing is definitively lost and you
will also be able to ask forgiveness from your child, who is now living
in the Lord." (EV, 99)

Divine Mercy Sunday 2014 is sure to be a blessed and grace filled day for all of those who have suffered from abortion. 

Blessed Pope John Paul II, pray for us!
