Prayer For Healing - by Msgr. James Moroney

Eternal Father,
Source of all mercy and love,
out of love for us you sent your Son,
and willed that blood and water
flow from his side to cleanse us of sin
and restore lost innocence.
Hear the cry of each woman who mourns
the loss of her child to abortion.
Forgive her sin, restore her to your grace,
and still the terror of her heart
with a peace beyond all understanding.
Through the intercession
of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Mother of all tenderness and our Mother,
strengthen her faith in you.
Give her the consolation to believe
that her child is now living in the Lord.
We ask this through Christ our Lord,
who conquered sin and death,
and who lives and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever. Amen.

 


 
 

Stories of Hope

Nurturing Families

Toledo couple grateful birth mothers chose life.

Like most parents, John and Amy Schnorberger, of Sylvania, are grateful to God for the gift of her children. But their gratitude is also directed toward specific human beings – the birth mothers of Katy, 7, and Drew, 5.

“To us, these birth families are heroes. They did what was best for the children, and not necessarily what was easiest for them at the time.

“At our house on Mother’s Day, these women are very much honored. It means so much when they tell us, ‘Every time we see you with these kids, we know we did what was best for them.’

“And we’re grateful to Catholic Charities for helping us become the family we are.”
