Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

When I was going through healing, this prayer became a huge part of my life. A reminder that my healing was not based on my feelings but on my trust in God despite what I felt.

It is easy to get caught up in the way we feel. The trauma of abortion can be so deep that we are unable to think or move past our pain and project it into every aspect of our lives. If you are struggling with suffering from abortion, try saying this prayer…it is sure to help you to move past the moment as you proclaim your trust in the Mercy of God.

"Jesus, do not leave me alone in suffering. You know, Lord, how weak I am. I am an abyss of wretchedness, I am nothingness itself; so what will be so strange if You leave me alone and I fall? I am an infant, Lord, so I cannot get along by myself. However, beyond all abandonment I trust, and in spite of my own feeling I trust, and I am being completely transformed into trust—often in spite of what I feel. Do not lessen any of my sufferings, only give me strength to bear them. Do with me as You please, Lord, only give me the grace to be able to love You in every event and circumstance."

In the midst of our suffering from the pain of abortion we need to always remember we do not have to carry our pain alone. Jesus is with us…always

St Faustina, pray for us!
