I would like to ask for prayers again for Donna, my brother’s high school/college girlfriend, who turned to my mother and father, or my brother, who led her to them, who led her to obtain an abortion. She came to me afterwards, saying my brother had told her on the way into surgery that he wanted to break up. I didn’t know what to say.
This tragedy for Donna–thirty years ago–has affected my own life in ways that I am beginning to understand. I cry for her. I never saw her again after that. She was from an Italian, Roman Catholic family. She wanted the baby. She wanted to marry my brother.
This reflects so poorly on my family that it made me fear for myself for years, but I finally realize that what I can do for Donna and her child is seek Their guidance to do better, so Please, pray for my father, my mother, and my brother as well, as they feel no remorse and believe they made the right “choice.” (Well, I cannot say what they truly feel but this is what they have expressed.) My sister also, she went to a feminist college and is pro-Choice.
As I have brought this up with my son, who is staying with Mom and Dad, because he has swallowed the pro-Choice logic and I wish to make him understand, this becomes a current matter.
I have finished Project Rachel counseling for myself, and understand that Donna’s baby is praying for all of us just as mine are for me, and for my husband and son. I’d give anything to see that sweet little Itlalian/Irish child, but trust that, like mine, he or she is safe.
I have been in touch with my mother and father and am finding that they no longer scare me, and I am able to direct them to an extent, as they are old now, but I know that my father is unrepentant and needs to learn how he has affected others in his life so that he may repent and be saved and be a better example.
Holy God,
Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One,
Have mercy on us,
And on the whole world.
