The little way

[lynnehelen]

How do you follow the “little way” of St. Therese after having an abortion? Abortion makes you feel like a big ugly monster.

How do you follow the “little way” of St. Therese after having an abortion? Abortion makes you feel like a big ugly monster.

St. Therese came up with the “little way” when she realized two things: God shows His love by mercy and forgiveness and she could not be “perfect” in following the Lord. romancatholicism.org/therese2.htm
If you have been to Confession, then God has shown His love to you through His mercy and forgiveness. Remember Jesus said, “He who is forgiven much, loves much.” You have been forgiven much, and now you can love the Lord all the more for the mercy and forgiveness He has shown to you. Please read Luke 7:36-50 about the sinful woman who wept on Jesus’ feet and dried her tears with her hair. Don’t let the devil make you feel you are not forgiven or that you cannot serve the Lord.

Repent and get to confession. Seek God’s Love in all things.
Thank God for showing you the true horrors of this act.

Then - after much prayer and discernment God may make much good from this. He may call this person to minister to others who are contemplating abortion.

Peace

Maybe reminding oneself of the immensity of God’s mercy would help. St. Therese, St. Faustina and many others who were very close to God noted the greatness of God’s mercy.

I know you’re asking about St. Therese’s “little way,” but you may be interested in reading the Diary of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska. Over her lifetime, she developed a very special understanding of the immensity of His Divine Mercy.

Also, consider looking into the possibility of attending a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat. It may be worth it to attend even if you have to travel, in order that you may begin to experience healing, or further healing.

Thank you, this helped. I already have the Diary of St. Faustina in my possession!, a gift from my Project Rachel counselor. I had to break off with her due to personal situation/relocation, and she feels we only “scratched the surface,” which is what I am experiencing here alone in this motel room.

I also have some follow-up materials.

I have bowsed the diary, I have difficulty reading print.

I will take your advice and make every efforto to read more in it. Also, I want to read “The Story of a Soul.”

Maybe an Amazon Kindle would help, as I have no problem reading on the backlit computer.

frustrated, Don’t know how to use the quote function

and I have already done a lot according to my knowledge and information at the time, to spread the word about post-abortion syndrome, but the Pro-Choice powers that be won (war in Letters to the Editor) and silenced me. Now I am being surveilled and manipulated on my computer, they just got me again, please Lord don’t let them win again Vote Mitt.
Tears.

also on my cell phone. AT&T admitted it. That…is a family matter. My Prof-Life agenda failed for many reasons but partly because it became an ego matter, but Project Rachel got me back on track and now it is for real so don’t HURT me like that you–expletive. Yes it is possible for them to surveil my computer I know it because I come from a high-tech family and I insulted Obama re his intended policies during his transitional period before taking office and I’ve been liiving a nightmare ever since.
