Healing within Marriage from an Abortion
God’s grace can bring true healing.

  When Susan’s husband, Juan, told her about the abortion he was involved in during college, she finally understood why he was so depressed and had trouble bonding with their children, The devastation of abortion brings with it many challenges. Often, the people who have participated in an abortion are unaware of the countless ways it is affecting their lives. It is scary to tell a spouse or fiancé about a past abortion. It requires great trust in that person’s love and trust in God. But with the help of an abortion healing ministry, couples can successfully work through abortion-related challenges. God’s grace can bring true healing to the relationships of those who trust in His infinite mercy.

Catholic Considerations for Our Earthly Passing
We are entrusted by God with the gift of life.

 We prepare for eternal life by choosing to love and follow God. Our journey with Christ includes equipping our consciences to make morally good judgements at the end of life. While no summary can substitute for thorough catechesis, one thing is clear: we are entrusted by God with the gift of life. This obliges us to make use of appropriate, effective medical care. The Church affirms the inviolable dignity of every person, regardless of the duration or extent of the person’s incapacity. Nothing diminishes the sanctity of a person’s life, or the obligation to protect and care for it. Those who are sick should not be alone, and, even after death, accompaniment continues by praying for those who have passed.

What to Do when a Friend is Considering Abortion
Let her know she is not alone.

   When a woman is facing a difficult pregnancy, the reaction of the first person she tells tends to set the tone for her decision-making. How do we respond in a loving way that is life-affirming for both her and her baby? First, prioritize listening over speaking. Ask her about her feelings, thoughts, values, beliefs, and wants. When her story is fully shared, it is your turn to provide factual information, in a loving and caring way. Encourage her.
   Help her set goals that extend beyond her due date to help her see life beyond her pregnancy. Reassure her that she is not alone, and provide practical support. Pray with her, offering Christ’s love at a crucial life-saving and life-defining moment.

The 40 Rosaries for Life Campaign will run from September 25th to November 3rd. As in past years, the parishes of the Diocese are invited to participate in a “Rosaries Across the Diocese” with each parish (as well as Chancery staff on their designated day) asking a group of parishioners to pray a rosary with the intention of Respect for Life from conception to natural death.

We invite those individuals or groups praying the rosary on your day to take a picture of the group for publication in social media. You can either post it to your twitter account with #40RosariesforLIfe, share it to @DioCrookston via Facebook, or email the picture to Janelle Gergen JGergen@crookston.org
