"‘Tonight, in the city of David, a Savior is born, 'tis Christ the Lord.'"

"There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church, which is, of course, quite a different thing."
-Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Placating terrorists, meeting with dictators, compassion for murderers... but no humanity for the unborn... incredible.

Prayer request


I thought I would ask you all for some prayers for a very dear friend of mine. She is also pregnant with a baby girl, due in September. She recently found out that there is an abnormality with the baby's umbilical cord. Normally, there are 3 vessels in the cord, 2 arteries and 1 vein. Her cord has 1 artery and 1 vein. There is an increased risk of having another abnormality when this is present, particulary with the heart or kidneys, and an increased risk of Down's Syndrome.

So far, the baby looks fine, healthy and growing ahead of schedule. However, there is also an increased risk of her growth being restricted in the last trimester due to the more limited function of the umbilical cord, in which case early delivery may become necessary. She will be monitored more closely for the rest of the pregnancy to assess the baby's growth and monitor the baby's other vital organs and development.

My friend is very scared about this. We tend to worry about our babies anyway, and this just adds to that anxiety. I feel in my heart that she will be okay, maybe because I have asked Our Lady to take care of her. If you could spare a prayer for this baby girl, I would be grateful.

God bless!

Re: Prayer request


Natalie, of course I will keep your friend and her baby girl in my prayers. I have had to wipe tears from my eyes after reading your request.


O almighty and everlasting God, through the Holy Spirit, you prepared the body and soul of the glorious virgin Mary to be a worthy dwelling place of your divine Son. Through the same Holy Spirit, you sanctified St. John the Baptist, while still in his mother's womb. Hear the prayers of your humble servant who implores you, through the intercession of St. Gerard, to protect the one I pray for amid the dangers of childbearing and to watch over the child with which you have blessed her with. May this child be cleansed by the saving water of baptism and, after a Christian life on earth, may they, both mother and child, attain everlasting bliss in heaven.

Amen.
