Reclaiming Our Children

Your Faith has Saved You

When I was first experiencing the effects of my abortion, I began to write down and memorize scripture verses about guilt, hope, forgiveness, faith and any of the emotions that I was dealing with at the time.

One of the verses I wrote down was about faith.

It read:

“Faith is the realization of what’s hoped for and evidence of things not seen”

I really liked this verse although I didn’t fully understand it at the time.

However, it did mention hope and faith,  two things I was desperate to have.

 

I thought I needed Faith to strengthen me to keep me going.

Hope, that God would somehow get me through this pain.

This “definition” of Faith however, seemed more like a concept to me.

Since then I’ve learned that Faith is not a concept.

Faith is a Gift, a gift from God, and that gift is a Person,And that Person is Jesus Christ!

But because I didn’t really know who Jesus was before and after my abortion(besides the basics) it was it was hard for me to understand and accept that someone, anyone, could love me so much, to forgive me for what I had done. I’ve learned that not accepting this gift of faith, this grace of God’s forgiveness, is to not accept that Jesus died for sinners, including me.

.

Now I didn’t do this consciously, it was just too difficult for me to understand.

I had to know humility --- which is an understanding of who I was in relationship to God.

I hadn’t spent much time getting to know God in my life so I really didn’t know what that relationship was. It was hard for me then to have faith and trust in Him if I didn’t have humility ---this understanding of who I was in relationship to Him.

Who was I to God?My healing from abortion helped me to learn humility.

 

When I first started feeling the effects of my abortion it was in 1989 after my son was born. A few years earlier before I was married I had an abortion.

I wasn’t forced by my boyfriend or threatened to be abandoned by my parents.

I chose abortion because I thought it would be the best solution to my “problem’.

I was very insecure and worried about what others would say and think about me and the abilities the father and I had, to take care of a child when we weren’t in a good position financially or emotionally to do so.

For the next few years after my abortion I was in denial. I mostly thought that it was the only thing I could have done at the time. After giving birth to my son a few years later, all the denial that I had built up around by abortion crumbled and I was left with the realization that abortion had ended the life of my first child. As much as I tried to push the feelings back down, the guilt and remorse, the horror at what I had done filled my every thought and made life unbearable.

Although I had not been attending Mass for years, or been faithful to God in any way, I knew that I needed to go to confession. I made an appointment to speak to a priest at a church by my home. I felt that my sin of abortion was such, that I couldn’t just go to Confession but needed to speak directly to a priest and confess my sin.

 

The priest I spoke with was very kind and compassionate and assured me of God’s love for me and His forgiveness. I left the rectory after Confession thinking that I would feel enormous relief and that this crushing burden of guilt and pain I was caring would be gone. (I think I remember hearing stories about sinners feeling this tremendous relief and freedom after confessing their sins to God and the healing from the sacrament would wash over me and I would know peace.) However, that’s not what I felt. As a matter of fact I began to feel worse.

This same priest eventually gave me information about post abortion counselors who help women who are suffering from PAS. I started to go to counseling weekly and continued to go to Mass not just on the weekends but during the week.

I started saying the rosary, memorizing scripture verses about forgiveness and how God washes away our guilt, but still I felt consumed with guilt and regret.

How could I have done something like this ?All those reasons for having an abortion seemed now to be things that I could have dealt with or that were not that important as they seemed at the time.

 

I thought that one of the reasons I had for not gaining any  peace from confession was because I really did not accept God’s forgiveness. If I really did, then I would know their peace and forgiveness. So, I kept going to confession but not to confess my sin of abortion but my sin of not accepting God’s forgiveness. I thought I was doing something wrong. Priests in the confessionals would tell me “you need to accept God’s forgiveness” But how do I do that? I began to think: I was still offending God after He had forgiven me, because I was not feeling better or at peace.

Well my “confessing” took me to many different churches and priests because I couldn’t keep going back to the same priest and keep confessing what he already told me to do! One afternoon as I was driving home from a church quite a way from my home after confessing again how I was having a hard time accepting God’s forgiveness, I felt worse then I ever had before. The blackness of despair engulfed me, and I felt completely helpless and alone. It was like looking into a black abyss of nothing. How could this be when I go to church and cry out to God all the time for help. How could He not be here?

When I got home I climbed the stairs to my apartment and just lied on the bed and felt this nothingness that was more frightening then even the guilt and grief I felt about my abortion.

 

In the midst of this, as I looked up at the ceiling I heard a voice say: “Your Faith Has Saved You”. Those words have since meant a great deal to me ,but at the time quite frankly they only startled me enough to think, “Excuse me.. “what’s that supposed to mean?” As far as I knew I had no faith! In fact, that was my problem!! What could these words possibly mean to me? “Your Faith Has Saved You”. As far as I knew, the reason why I felt so guilty was because I had NO Faith. How could my faith save me if I had none?

 

To be hones, at the time, those words didn’t really mean anything to me.

I had never heard of them before. If anything-- they just confused me, so

I got me out of bed to cook dinner.

Well that was over 20 years ago and through God’s grace and the help of people He has sent into my life to help me deal with the emotional and spiritual hurt and suffering of abortion, I have been able to heal, and attain that peace that I was so desperately looking for.

.

Its actually only been in the last few years that I’ve thought more about those words I heard that day. And I do know now, that the graces I received through the sacraments of Confession and Eucharist did sustain and strengthen me during those times.

I’ve come to know that those words that I never had heard before are actually words spoken by Jesus in the Gospel to at least 4 people.

When I looked at each one of these encounters these people had with Jesus, I began to see how meaningful those words were then and now.

1) In Marks Gospel there’s a blind man named Bartimaues, who is sitting by the side of the rode begging when he hears that Jesus is passing by. He starts to yell

to scream out to Jesus saying, “have pity on me”. Jesus calls him to come to Him and He asks what he wants, the blind man replies, “Lord that I may see”. Jesus replies

“Go your way. Your faith has saved you.”

2) The woman who suffered with a hemorrhage, (bleeding) for over 12 years and had tried everything to get healing and relief thought that if she could just touch the hem of his garment she would be healed. Jesus felt the power of his healing flow from him and He asked “Who is it that touched me?”The woman fell down at his knees and poured out her troubles. Jesus replied “Daughter, Your faith has saved you . Go in peace you are cured of your affliction.”

3) Luke tells of 10 Lepers standing off in the distance as Jesus approached a village on his way to Jerusalem. They cried out to Him “Jesus have pity on us!” Jesus said to them “go show yourselves to the priest”, and on their way they noticed they were healed.

Only 1 of the 10 returned fell on his knees to thank Jesus. Jesus said “ Were there not 10 who were healed.”Then He said, “Stand up and go .Your Faith has saved you.”

4) And then there is the pardoning of the sinful woman. The woman who barged into a party Jesus was at and stood behind him and wept so hard the tears were covering his feet and she knelt before him and dried them with her hair. The Pharisee hosting the party thought to himself, “ If only Jesus knew who this sinful woman was, who was touching Him”, and Jesus knowing his thoughts asked him, “If 2 people are forgiven a debt and one of them has a greater debt to be paid who of the two would be the most grateful?” The Pharisee replied, “The one who has been forgiven much.” Jesus said, “So I tell you her many sins have been forgiven. Hence she has shown great love.” And He said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven. Your faith has saved you go in peace”

So, I wondered:

1) Was I like the blind man in complete darkness?

Like a blind person who was stretching out his hand and begging to be healed? Yes

2) Was I desperate like the hemorrhaging woman and needed to rely on God as my only hope for healing? Yes

3) Did I feel like a leper filled with shame?

Like an outcast, crying out to the Lord “please Lord, have pity on me, help me?”

Did my sin eat away at me and make me feel like I needed to keep hidden and isolated in my pain? Yes

4) And

Was I like the woman in the Gospel who wept tears of repentance at the feet of Jesus?

All those times I cried alone in front of the tabernacle or at home throughout the days and nights?

Did I hear that same condemning voice that said “If only He knew what kind of woman she was“… those voices that didn’t come from others but from my own fears. If he only knew what I was really like. what I had really done and why. Would he let me touch Him? Yes

Yes, I was very much like that woman.

And He didn’t push me away but held me up as one who was praised by Him for her tears of repentance and great Love.

I used to think when hearing some of the Gospel stories that I had to have a great faith in order to be healed, But these encounters with Jesus in the Gospels taught me otherwise.Like those people in the gospels who heard the same words spoken to them, I had the Faith the size of a small MAYBE.

Maybe if I cry loud enough He’ll hear me and have pity on me…….

Maybe if I can just touch Him a little it will be enough to make me feel better…………

Maybe if I stretch out my hand in He can grab hold of me and pull me out of the darkness. Just maybe He can heal me of this. He’s my hope. That’s all I had then. Just a maybe.But that’s all I needed  All He needed.

I was “dead by my transgressions and Jesus did save me through faith.”

That faith, that gift which became trust, and in order to have trust in him I needed to have humility. Humility an “understanding who we are in relationship to God”

I know now I am a beloved daughter of God. I’ve come to trust God to grow closer to Him and to accept his mercy To accept Jesus’ forgiveness because I know now who I am in relationship to Him. I am his beloved daughter. Where once my understanding was no more then a MAYBE, it has become an acceptance of the gift of God. I know now what those words mean: “Your Faith Has Saved You”

That Faith which is a GIFT. And that Gift Who is JESUS.

Surrender

Getting Ahead of Myself & The Holy Spirit

I once heard a clergy person involved in the pro-life movement speak of how he had to push the Holy Spirit to get things done. We all can have a tendency at times to believe we know what needs to be done even if it is obvious that it may not be the right time. We follow the will of “me” instead of “Him”, sometimes without even realizing it.

Personally, I always have to check myself. I am busy and so; I am constantly learning to prayerfully discern what it is God is asking of me, what I should be doing, and what I should say “no” to, in spite of what others would like me to do. It makes me unpopular at times, when people think I should be at certain events or doing certain things, but for me I have learned the only thing that is important is listening to the Holy Spirit and doing God’s will and not my own or anyone else’s. 

I am blessed to be friends with a “monk” who prays for me and the work of the ministry. He is a true gift from God.  I have never met him, but when his letters arrive I often feel like he is reading my soul because they never fail to reflect what it is I am struggling with at the time.

Since I run the ministry with no other full time help and through the generosity of volunteers, it can get a little crazy at times. I used to pressure myself to get it all done, but I am getting better at prioritizing and putting the people seeking help first. The rest will get done in time, and I have to learn to accept that. I am not a super woman!

A recent letter from my monk friend quotes the book “The Practice of the Presence of God” by Brother Lawrence.

That we give ourselves up to God, with regard to both things temporal and spiritual, and seek our satisfaction only in the fulfilling of His will, whether he leads us by suffering or consolation, for all would be equal to a soul truly resigned.”

“By suffering or consolation”. That really hit me. To recognize that all is by the will of God and as long as I follow that will the rest is not important and I can have peace. My soul would be resigned.

It is hard to imagine such an even keel. To trust so much at every moment. To be so in His presence all the time, that no matter what I would be at peace.

When I think about it, I believe it, but to me it is like the fleeting thing you try to catch and the more you try, the more it escapes you.  Still I will continue to rest in His presence and continue to try to learn to rest there in the hectic pace of life giving myself up to Him in all things with unfailing trust. I will try, not to catch it, but to let it go into His arms of Mercy.

Allowing People to Help you

My daughter, do whatever is within your power to spread devotion to My mercy. I will make up for what you lack. Tell aching mankind to snuggle close to My merciful Heart, and I will fill it with peace.
Tell [all people], My daughter, that I am Love and Mercy itself. When a soul approaches Me with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itself, but radiates them to other souls. (Diary 1074)

 

Allowing People to Help You

If you are like I was, I found it very hard to ask for, or accept help from anyone after my abortion. I had major trust issues and did not want to be vulnerable. The vulnerability of my abortion both before and after, were enough to last a lifetime.

I would shy away from people offering help, convincing myself I was not worthy to receive any. After all, I did not want to “bother’ anyone or, I was going to do it myself. Who needs people when they fail you anyway?

 It took me a long time to admit that it was my pride that stopped me from asking for, or accepting help. I was afraid of rejection, of being let down again, or letting people see my struggles. Now, I am not talking about people who are not capable of being there, but good people who truly wanted to help.

It was so hard for me to allow anyone to help me. At first, I only did it out of desperation.  Perhaps God brought me to that place so I would see how much I needed to meet Him through other people.

I saw needing help as a weakness, but as I came to know Him, I also came to learn that we need to allow people to help us just as much as we need to help other people. "Love one another as I have loved you"

I love the 6^th Station of the Cross, when Veronica wipes the face of Jesus. He, God Himself, does not push her away and say “I am God, I do not need your help” instead, he humbles Himself and allows her this gift of wiping His face, and in return for her kindness he leaves her the image of His face.

When we feel like we do not want to ask for help or allow others to help us, whether it is about our abortion and healing or any other issue, let us remember Jesus and His humility and willingness in allowing Veronica to wipe His face and reach out for the help we need.

“Mercy is love that suffers the evil of another to affirm his dignity so that he does not have to suffer alone.” Pope John Paul II (July 27, 2002 - World Youth Day In Toronto Canada)

Lenten Group week #1 Dust to Dust

During the season of lent we are having a group once a week led by different people in the ministry, using a different topic and reading.

Since the group is limited, we will be posting a summary of the comments from women who have had abortions in the hopes of assisting those who are on the journey in recognizing the ways abortion has impacted them and also the forgiveness and mercy of God which always calls them to deeper healing and union with Him in peace, joy, and love.

Week #1 Lent

By the seat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust and to dust you shall return. Gen 3:19

The common theme with the group for this reading was the need we all seemed to have to be in control and to recognize that that control not only led most times to us harming ourselves, but kept us from the love and mercy of God which seeks to heal us.

It is not surprising that we would look to control since our abortion often left us feeling totally out of control.  We falsely believe that we can protect ourselves by controlling the world around us instead of trusting in the love and mercy of God who wants nothing but our good.

As we progress in healing, the “dust to dust” becomes not something to dread but a means for us to empty ourselves so that Gods life is in us.

• Do you try to control your life thinking this is what will keep you safe?
• Are you self-reliant instead of surrendering to God?
• Can you understand your need of Him and trust in His love for you?

As we begin the Lenten journey let us all try to let go of our self-reliance and focus instead on mystery of our salvation manifested in the life of Christ.

Offering Hope of Healing

How to Help Someone You Love Heal After An Abortion

by Theresa Bonopartis

In working in post-abortion healing, we often get calls from family members or friends of those who have experienced abortion. Since the passage of Roe v Wade in 1973, over 60 million abortions have taken place in our country. We all know someone who has had an abortion.

The calls usually come in two types:

• Those who know the person they love is suffering and they want to help them, but don’t know how
• Those who do not think the abortion is impacting the person and want them to realize it. They cannot believe it would not bother someone.

Let’s try to address them both, in the hope that it will help those looking for answers.

Suffering After Abortion

It is difficult to see someone we love suffering the heart-wrenching pain of abortion. So often those who have participated in abortion believed that if they terminated their pregnancy life will go back to the way it was before they became pregnant. Sadly, they find out too late that this is not true.

Often the person experiencing the pain will feel alone and isolated. It can seem that those close to them don’t care. Once the abortion is over, it appears that they expect you to move on with your life and seem not to want to talk about. After all, this was supposed to solve the “problem,” right?

Words like, “You have to move on with your life,” or “It’s over now, you will have other children,” are often said in good faith, but are just not helpful, leaving the person feeling even worse. What often seems like the right thing for family and friends to say does not do anything to relive the pain. The problem is not that they don’t care, but that they have no idea what to say. Most often, they too have bought into the lies of abortion — believing it was the solution, or going along with it because they truly thought the person wanted the abortion and wanted to support them. So, what to do?

There is no one answer, but here are some suggestion that may help those you love:

• Listen. Yes, it can get tiring, and you can feel helpless, but it is so important to be there and allow them to process the experience and all the emotions that go along with it. Abortion can leave people filled with feelings of guilt, shame, grief and anger at themselves and others. There is a tendency to play the experience over and over and torture themselves with “would of, could of, should of” scenarios. It is important to point out that it is easy to see in retrospect and there is no way to go back, but they can move forward for healing with the right help.
• Research some materials or educational sites that acknowledge their feelings and support healing, and pass the info on to them. There are some great pamphlets and books out there that will validate their feelings, help them not feel crazy or alone, and aid them on their journey.
• Find some healing ministries, web sites or blogs to send to them. There are some wonderful ministries out there with people waiting to help them through the healing process.
• If they are severely depressed or experiencing suicidal thoughts, encourage them to seek professional help, first making sure the professional knows about post-abortion healing.
• Love them unconditionally.
• Take care of yourself and acknowledge your own loss, especially if it was your grandchild, niece or nephew, or sibling. Considering seeking counseling to help you with your own emotions and loss.

What if they say they are fine?

Often the devastation of abortion does not set in for months or even years. We have had people come forward whose abortions were over 60 years ago! It is often another event in life that awakens the sleeping dragon — like becoming pregnant, the birth of another child, having a grandchild, an illness, or even realizing the child they aborted may be the only one they will ever have.

You cannot force anyone to look at an abortion. There may be many factors stopping them, and currently, a lot of people available to help them in their denial. One only must look at recent events where women were proclaiming the joys of abortion or marching to ensure its rights at any time, for any reason, no matter what to know that this is true.

To those who would like their loved one to look, I say, pray. You cannot force someone to look at an abortion experience, and your loved one may not be psychologically or spiritually ready to face the truth honestly.

Look to make sure that your motivation is not more about your addressing your own pain about the abortion. While you should never condone the abortion, you should never condemn the woman either. Only God knows her heart and can judge her. Reassuring her of God’s love does not mean telling her the abortion was okay — it never is — but it could mean saying things like, “I’m sorry you felt like you had to make that choice.”

In truth, you do not know what’s in her heart or how she is when she is alone. She may be struggling deeply in her thoughts but puts on a front to make it seem like she is okay. Many women are terrified to look at their abortions and so rationalize and justify it it to make it okay when they know it was not. It is important for her to know that she can come to you when she is ready by not condemning her with your words, while at the same time never condoning the abortion.

Stepping forward for healing is frightening. The self-loathing that often comes from an abortion is a terrifying thing to face. The most important things you can do is pray for the person to become willing to step out for healing, trusting that God is working because He knows what they need better than you. Then, as before, take care of yourself and your own loss.

Abortion devastates many people. But, as hopeless as it may seem at times, He is there, always waiting to embrace us all with His mercy!

Blind Stirring

If I had to name something that is more important to me than anything else, I would, without hesitation, say it is the hour I spend with Jesus in adoration each day.

It's really a miracle of His mercy that I feel this way.

I remember a time before my healing from abortion, when just the thought of being in the presence of God would throw me into a frenzy. I was certain I was doomed for what I had done and that there was no way back from the hell I was in.

One of the ploys of the devil after sin, especially serious sin, is getting us to focus on ourselves so that we live in despair. He makes us believe there is no way we could ever be forgiven and does all he can to stop us from coming to knowing Christ. He knows if we do come to know Him, we would also come to know His great love and mercy for us, so he keeps us focused on the sin, stripping us of hope. We become blind to the sacrifice of Jesus who died for our sins, even the sin of abortion, the ultimate failure of love and destruction of innocent life.

Jesus, innocent life and love Himself, subjected Himself to suffering and death to save us. He is always waiting for is in our wounds. He calls us to Himself to invite us to heal. "Come to me all you who are weary... and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 We are healed because of what He did, not anything we could or did do.

In the chapel where I go for adoration there is a crucifix that speaks volumes to my heart. It was made by the Sisters of Bethlehem, an order that
resides in upstate New York brought here from France by John Cardinal O'Connor specifically to pray for the Archdiocese.

The image depicts Jesus on the cross with an unknown man standing on the toes of one foot, holding Jesus up to alleviate His pain. Rather than looking burdened by the weight, the man’s face is filled with profound peace, and joy reflecting a deep love shared between them. No pain, only more love. A love that knows what the other has done for him and seeks to return that love. A blind stirring of the heart in an exchange of love. This is how I feel!

Are you hurting from a past abortion?
This love awaits you too! It has always been there; it desires your healing, your love, an exchange with you!

Be not Afraid. He is waiting for you!

I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.

A reflection from 2005 on the anniversary of my dad's death

“Love One Another as I have Loved you”

I just buried my dad this past January. Those of you who know of my story will remember that he was very instrumental in my abortion.  My dad had disowned me when he learned that I was pregnant. I was around 17 years old and found myself in a situation with no money, no job and no place to live. Once out of the house, he pressured me to abort my baby and little by little my resolve was chipped away until I finally gave in.  I felt there was no “choice”.

 It was 2 years before my dad, and I spoke again. The abortion was never mentioned. On the outside, it was as if it had never happened, although inside I am sure it was never far from either of our minds. One of the hardest parts of my own healing was letting go of the anger and rage I had for my father, and learning to deal with the deep issues of abandonment. My abortion affected so many areas of my life. It was as if a poison were running through my veins. I will always remember one day when my brother-in-law who was visiting at the time turned to me and said, “Theresa, you need to let go of your anger, you need to forgive him, or it is going to kill you.” I knew he was right, but somehow holding onto to the anger meant holding on to my son.

 Many years later, through my conversion and post abortion counseling; I finally found peace with God, my unborn child and myself, however, things with my dad were still a struggle. It was as if this huge monster was present in our relationship, and we were both ignoring it even though it was blocking our view.  I truly wanted reconciliation, so I began to pray a novena to Our Lady of Czestochowa for my dad’s conversion. A part of me was still waiting for an “I’m sorry”…I can remember my sister telling me “Don’t wait, you are never going to get it…he still thinks he did not do anything wrong.”  How was that possible? At times I had to resist the urge to scream at him and let him know how I saw his dead grandson on the bed next to me…how could he not be sorry?

 Through the years different situations would make me angry with him again and I found I had to decide to forgive him all over again…with each new experience I would feel like giving up on him. He was so stubborn and unrepentant, but through the grace of God and good spiritual direction I was able to continue. I will never forget the day when my spiritual director hit me with these lines “Allow your father to make you a saint…don’t confront him with the abortion. Let him teach you forgiveness, let him teach you patience, let him teach you understanding and humility.” I can remember walking out of the friary and thinking...”Oh my gosh, how will I ever be able to do that? You are asking too much of me…how can you expect that after what he did.” But I left and prayed and prayed for the grace to do just that because I knew that was what God wanted of me.

 It was not easy…many times over the years I wanted to scream at him, and he tried my patience on many occasions, but as much as I was tempted to stop I continued the daily novena for almost 20 years.

 In the end, Our Lady of Czestochowa came through. My dad received the sacraments for the first time in over 60 years and was anointed the day before his death. I am so grateful to God, not only for my father’s salvation, but for mine. In the end, God not only used me as an instrument to bring my dad back to the church, but He used my dad to bring me closer to His heart. The lessons of patience, and forgiveness my dad taught me are things I will reflect on for a long time to come.  Instead of focusing on his failings, I was forced to look at my own weaknesses. I learned not to blame but to understand more deeply that we are all sinners in need of His mercy and as we have been forgiven, we are all called to show that mercy to others. One of the last conversations I had with my dad, was to ask him to give my son Joshua a hug for me when they met.  The miracles and mysteries of faith…

 Colossians 1:13-15 

“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption and  the forgiveness of sins. “

Rest in peace dad.
