Kathleen has already dedicated this child to God, by asking His help. She has already decided to give life and that she is powerless without God. Her sincere desire to be a better child of God humbles me. Most of us like to think we are in charge. Kathleen will feel grief, but I believe that God has a plan for her and this child. "Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4 Kathleen thanks for your powerful witness! I would thank God for this mother and this child.

Kathleen thanks for your powerful witness!

They did not have much money but we never suffered from hunger always had a roof over our head and heat in our house. We were never exposed to violence and were able to go to good schools and encouraged to get good grades and make something of ourselves.

How do we pray for them? What do we ask for... when their own goodnness can't help them overcome it? I truly believe that I carry all the genetic traits for addiction. Inside I am so afraid of it. Most often I won't even take a drink socially. Thanks for sharing these stories. The story on the woman is a powerful reminder of how so many good people are wrecked by addiction.

To get you started, please consider the following reflection questions: 1. Is Kathleen really in a position to raise a child, and therefore even to become pregnant and have one, two…eight children? 2. What might the Church do for women like her? 3. If you were in her presence and she asked you for advice, what would you say to her? 4. If you were holding her newborn baby, what prayer would you offer to God? We look forward to hearing your thoughts. Please offer your comments below and we will respond.
