“We seek to protect religious liberty . . . . because we are lovers of a human dignity that was fashioned and imparted not by the government but by the Creator. We defend religious liberty because we are lovers of every human person, seeing in the face of every man and woman also the face of Christ, who loved us to the very end and who calls on us to love and serve our neighbor with the same love he has bestowed on us”   – Archbishop William Lori, Installation Homily (May 2012)

It’s normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including the loss of a child by abortion.  It can form a hole in one’s heart, a hole so deep that sometimes it seems nothing can fill the emptiness.  You are not alone..
