Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

This is something I wrote many years ago after a tremendous grace that was given to me…

It was such an extraordinary experience and gift from God. I pray that each of you, in this amazing time of joy, experience the grace of His love and the love of your children who are "living in the Lord."

Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,which means “God is with us.”

12/01 Christmas Grace

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.
