I am, although the balance between not contributing to her sin and loving her is perhaps most difficult in this situation than in any other issue in my life.

She has not yet, but this is only because she is waiting for her MediCal to go through. Yes, my tax dollars will go toward paying to end the life of my grandchild. (sigh) This is hard.

The baby is likely 17 weeks in utero and I am praying constantly for God to keep my heart open to His will and be an instrument of the Holy Spirit and not insert my will. Still, I am hoping that she will feel movement soon and it will change her heart.

Thank you for your continued prayers, for this situation and for all those who are struggling with this. These poor women need our love and compassion and support.

Jesus, I trust in You.
Maggie

Liza, I’m sorry for the delay in responding, I didn’t know that I had a new message.

I did spend the day with her and we did not talk about her pregnancy, since I knew she wasn’t able to do anything yet and browbeating her would not help at all. It was depressing, as this has put distance between us.

This past week we talked about how we have this distance because just as a part of her has shut down emotionally in order to consider what she is planning and, in the same way, a part of me has to shut down in horror of what she is planning.

I had to decide what I was willing to do and not willing to do. For example, she was told that night that she will not be studying in Italy this Spring as planned, regardless of what she chooses. This is because she is an alcoholic/addict who is not in recovery and not attending meetings, not as punishment for her decision about the pregnancy. She has always known that I will support recovery and I listed all the examples of how she is clearly relapsing.

Katherine did thank me for loving her enough to tell her these things and acknowledged how hard this is for me to do. She has not changed her mind about the pregnancy, though.

She did agree that this was relapse behavior even if she is not using and said that she would be going to an AA meeting this past Friday. I don’t know if she made it, though she slept until 2pm (got a facebook message). She was supposed to come over to our house on Friday to watch movies with my step-daughter after oral surgery and flaked. Not a good sign, just more of the same behavior. She’s out dancing a lot, smoking cigarettes and staying up all night. : She posts pictures on facebook and it breaks my heart, she’s clearly such an unhappy, lost young woman right now.

So, thank you from the bottom of my heart for continued prayers. Each day brings Hope. I pray she feels the baby move soon and I pray, mostly for the Grace to allow God to use me however he sees fit. I keep hoping, also that the fact that this is happening during the 40 days for life is no accident. We just ended in our area with an all-vigil last night.

Please pray for all women struggling with this. I know that my daughter is no more precious than any of these millions of others, except (of course) to me.

Still hoping and praying,
Maggie
 
Dear Maggie,

Tomorrow I will pray a Rosary for your daughter and her unborn child.

If anyone should feel called to do so, please offer up your next Communion for the intention that Katherine allows her child to live.

God bless,

OnlyHope
 
Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Our Father who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name

thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven
give us this dya our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us
and lead us not into temptation

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

I have told her that I love her no matter what, but that she can’t un-ring the bell. It’s not like you are sitting around trying to decide if you want to have one, the baby is here.

We just left the Life Center for counseling and an ultrasound is scheduled for next week. She agreed to go when I told her that I do not want her at planned parenthood in the hands of physicians assistants who preform medical procedures instead of a medical doctor. Girls become sterile and some die from their ‘treatment’. I need to know that she’s safe and well-cared for. I’ve prayed at clinics and knew that, through her choices she may end up there one day, I hoped that this day would never come. I feel so ill-equipped.

I’m so afraid for her and for this baby. I’m also afraid that if I’m too loving and supportive, she’ll somehow think I’m endorsing her decision. I’m not. I already feel as though I am mourning a child that will never be born and want to save a child when it seems that there is no hope. I am trying everything that I can, but I can’t force her to have this child.

I am trying to focus on Truth and Love. We just need prayers, please pray for God to guide my words. I am really all she has, aside from her ‘friends’ who have spent a month telling her to get an abortion. Her best friend is even offering to pay half.

Thank you for your compassion, advice and mostly for your prayers. We need that more than anything.

Ask her to pray the rosary with you for at least a week. She will change her mind.

A novena prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe which was recited for the unborn at the end of all Masses in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception of the March for Life on January 22, 1999.

Our Lady of Guadalupe, we turn to you who are the protectress of unborn children and ask that you intercede for us, so that we may more firmly resolve to join you in protecting all human life. Let our prayers be united to your perpetual motherly intercession on behalf of those whose lives are threatened, be they in the womb of their mother, on the bed of infirmity, or in the latter years of their life. May our prayers also be coupled with peaceful action which witnesses to the goodness and dignity of all human life, so that our firmness of purpose may give courage to those who are fearful and bring light to those who are blinded by sin. Help us to walk closely with God and to give voice to the cry of the oppressed. O Virgin Mother of God, present our petitions to your Son and ask him to bless us with abundant life.

Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe

Holy Mother, we pray to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart for all mothers and all unborn children that they may have life here on earth and by the most Precious Blood shed by your Son that they may have eternal life with Him in heaven. We also pray to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart for all abortionists and all abortion supporters that they may be converted and accept your Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. Defend all of your children in the battle against Satan and all of the evil spirits in this present darkness.

wouldn’t that be nice?

yeah

Sadly, that’s not going to happen. She is VERY anti-religious and has bought into the idea that Religion causes wars. Ironic, isn’t it? She’s having someone kill her child and she’s worried about wars overseas that she doesn’t understand.
