We plan on making a patron saint wall in our house and ordering these icons from MonasteryIcons.com |
Any woman who experienced a loss of any kind will tell you that the next pregnancy is just different. I hesitated to accept the news, I struggled to open my heart to the excitement and joy out of fear that it would be stripped away. Lent was a journey of healing, rediscovering joy, and realizing that this child deserves to know that he or she was loved from the moment of conception. Fear can’t get in the way of opening my heart.
I think one of the greatest comforts of this pregnancy so far has been knowing that we have a Little Saint in heaven praying for his younger brother/sister, and the intercession of St. Kateri and St. John Paul II. No matter what happens, God knew I needed prayers even before I knew I was pregnant, and that gives me hope!
For those struggling with infertility, hurting from miscarriages and the loss of children, and those who are longing for a child of your own… Please know that you and your intentions have been close to my heart, and I will continue to pray for you throughout this pregnancy and beyond.
For all of you who have been praying for our family since we lost our baby in December, I cannot express adequately how meaningful your prayers are to me. Your prayers, encouragement, and this baby have helped joy return to my heart.
