Abortion is a Grave evil.🙏🏻

‘Rescue those who are being taken away to death’. (Proverbs 24:11)

Virgin of Guadalupe, Patroness of unborn children, we implore your intercession for every child at risk of abortion. Amen.

Abortion is far beyond my comprehension, to murder a tiny baby in the womb horror of horrors, grave evil. A child in the womb is its own nervous center, self-existing, self acting, with intrinsic worth and value. The embryo is not a potential human being, the embryo is a human being with potential. 

The moment of coming into the world is not at birth, it is the moment of conception. Every single one of us has ultimate value in God’s eyes, that is Truth immutable.

My heart goes out to the many people who regret their abortion decision. Our God is a merciful forgiving God, He understands our frail human nature, He knows everyone’s tale of woe. Many are afraid and sure that God will not forgive and heal them but that is a big lie. When we give God permission to heal and forgive us, He swings open the doors of our hearts, His Mercy gushes in and it is so very powerful, God’s Mercy is everlasting. ‘Father God, I give you permission to heal me. Amen’.

That grim morning I learned that abortion is permitted here in Ireland, I was beside myself with grief. In my deep agony, beautiful Holy Spirit spoke these words into my broken heart; ‘God has and always will have the final word. Please go on doing what you are asked to do on earth, if you do not carry out your special task, freshly minted from God’s Holy Hands especially for you, then your task will not get done’. Thank you dear Holy Spirit, You have the words of Eternal Life.

I walked to St. Anne’s nursing home with the heaviest of hearts, totally consumed with the horrific news - Abortion is legal in Ireland. Adding insult to injury, in Dublin Castle, scenes of jubilant exhilaration, as noisy multitudes sang and danced on a large stage celebrating the slaughter of the innocent. Culture of death, night had descended on our fair land.  

My beautiful folk in St. Anne’s happy to see me, I thrilled to see them. We prayed Holy Rosary, we sang hymns. Sean, partially sighted, declared: ‘Tis terrible altogether’ with the wisdom and feelings of his long years on earth, granting me deep comfort in that lightbulb moment. I knew then, without a scintilla of a doubt that God’s ultimate purpose for goodness will reign supreme, the dignity of Human Life is non-negotiable.

Though bewildered and tempest tossed, we can have complete confidence because we serve a ‘Faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He’. (Deuteronomy)

Walking home, still downcast but not without Hope. God sees all, God knows all. My one task - do whatever God is asking of me right here right now. His Love and Grace enough - more than enough. ‘Do whatever Jesus tells you’ - words Mary spoke to the Apostles at The Wedding Feast of Cana. Today, right here, right now, Mother Mary is speaking those selfsame words to me too. ‘Do whatever He tells you’. (John 2:5)

‘Abortion is not the lesser of two evils. It is a crime. It is to throw someone out in order to save another. That’s what the Mafia does. It is a crime, an absolute evil’. (Pope Francis)

The Knights of Columbus asks us to pray one Hail Mary for unborn children every time we see a rose. 🌹 

2021 - When I see our politicians today, run ragged, threadbare, doing everything in their power to keep our country afloat in the midst of raging Corona pandemic.........How things have changed since that cataclysmic day of celebration. (Dublin Castle, May 2018)

‘Abortion is never a solution. When speaking of a pregnant mother, we are talking about two lives; both should be preserved and respected because Life is an absolute value’. ( Pope Frances)

‘If you say there’s too many children, it’s like saying there’s too many flowers’. (St. Mother Teresa)
