Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

I have come to realize it is very easy to take things for granted even if you don't mean to. As much as you  say thank you, sometimes the true immensity of the gifts you have been given don't really hit you to your core.

I feel like that when it comes to the Blessed Sacrament. 

I am very spoiled. I am blessed each day to be able to attend Mass (again) and receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. I also live not far from a Eucharistic Adoration Chapel which I visit each day to spend time alone with Him in prayer. It is part of my daily routine and it is hard for me to imagine life without it (thank God even with the church closings adoration was open)

During this time away from mass I recognized how much I took for granted. I thought, "When I get to go back to mass I am not going to fall into distraction again, I am going to be present every second."  I've come to realize although that is my desire it is probably not true. I am human and my human tendencies are still there, but I also realize that is exactly why I need to spend this time with Him…to sit with Him in my poverty. To love Him and pull myself back to Him over and over again. To recognize my immense need for Him every second of every day.

Jesus has definitely spoiled me. He knows how lost I would be without Him and how easily I  stray and so He invites me to spend this time with Him each day in order that His life may be in me. It has become the first thing in my life…all else to follow from this.

I think sometimes about the way I lived and how terrified I was of Him before my healing from abortion. What I found in the end was nothing to fear from Jesus who is mercy and love and forgiveness itself if we are sorry and open our hearts to Him .

If you are suffering from a past abortion, go spend some time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Talk to Him. Tell Him your joys and your sorrows and thank Him for the gift of His mercy which He has been longing to give you.  You don't have to do it alone. He is waiting for you.

Then, contact a  ministry that can also assist you in your journey. Healing is possible!

Blessed Feast of Corpus Christi! Thank You Jesus for the gift of Yourself in the Blessed Sacrament!
