Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

So the guards went to the chief priests and Pharisees,
who asked them, “Why did you not bring him?”
The guards answered, “Never before has anyone spoken like this man.”
So the Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?
Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him?
But this crowd, which does not know the law, is accursed.”
Nicodemus, one of their members who had come to him earlier, said to them,
“Does our law condemn a man before it first hears him
and finds out what he is doing?”
They answered and said to him,
“You are not from Galilee also, are you?
Look and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”

Then each went to his own house.

In today's reading, the Pharisees could not accept a different preacher…someone not from themselves. Perhaps one of the things that upsets me most in the prolife movement is the need to compete. At Lumina, I try to advertise all the retreats going on in our area for those who are suffering from a past abortion in our newsletter. There are numerous, wonderful, post abortion ministries available now, of which I am so grateful having had none out there when I sought healing.

I truly believe God raises up these many different things because people are different. What may work for one person's healing may not work for another. What one may find helpful, another person may find a hindrance, and perhaps more than one will do the trick for another!

In the end, they ALL belong to God and they ALL have good in them. To limit God's works or to hold them captive or to bad mouth them is not from God who can only bring good things.

Let us pray for unity and a true desire for the healing of each individual soul whose dignity should be the center of our work after God.
