Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

It seems there is always deeper to go as I heal from the sin of abortion.

As I grow in the love of God, He gives me the courage to trust in that love and delve a little deepwer into the mystery of redemption, because I know now, no matter what I find He loves me and died for my sins. even my sin of abortion.

So it is that even after more than 50 years, I still have work to do on forgiving myself. To gaze with humility on that teenage girl who caved into the pressure to abort my son. To recognize and accept and love her with all her weaknesses. To embrace her in her repentance in His love and thank Him for the gift of his healing mercy.

Healing is a process-one I think won't be completed until heaven. We can feel at times as if we have "arrived" as we reach a new level of healing, but there is always more. He is always waiting there for us deeper into this massive wound to show us He has always been there love us despite this grievious sin.

Thank you Jesus for never tiring of waiting fo rus-You never abandon us. Thank you for always calling us deeper into you life and live.

As we move into this month of the Sacred Heart may we each come to realize more deeply the depth of His love for us!
