We all know how terrifying facing our abortion can feel. We want to do anything we can to run from the reality of what we did and the seriousness of the sin. Like in so many circumstances the paradox shows us that just what we dread is often the thing that brings us peace and healing.
Great meditation by Monsignor Pope…
"There is something about facing our sins, our shortcomings, and our anxieties and fears. There is something about looking into the face of them in order to find healing. One of the glories of the Catholic Faith is that we have never hidden the cross. We have never run from it. There have been brief times when we shamefully de-emphasized it. But throughout most all of our history, the crucifix has been prominently, proudly, and fearlessly displayed in our churches. We cling to and glory in it."
