How Messages are sent

Over the last couple of weeks, while waiting in line at the grocery store. I have been met with the image of two recent world wide stories in pictures. How sad that the messages that they send take away from the clear messages of the Faith. How can the great gift of children arising form the unitive and procreative component of the marriage bond be affirmed and encouraged when messages like these shine from the grocery line and are proclaimed "normal"

And then, greeting all this Sunday.....is a story in the Chicago tribune warmly describing a 61 year old who gave birth to her own grandchild.

There has been some rumbling on some NFP chatrooms and developing facebook pages to address the beauty of the marriage bond. I hope to be able to address some of the questions and issues regarding more natural ways to increase the chances of pregnancy over the next few months. I am open to your ideas and ask for your prayers as the project gets going

God Bless you all!

Happy Feast of Titus and Timothy.

I was so inspired by a passage from today's Morning Prayer

"Proclaim the message, insist on it in season and out of season, refute falsehood, correct error,call to obedience, but do all with patience and sound doctrine"

In my opinion, there are few situations which are as heartbreaking as the inability to conceive a child. Sometimes, the net result is represented in my last posting. But the heartbreak also comes as a result of the pain that follows when we forget that God has a plan for us, and that we may find solace in trusting Him.

Unfortunately, we are in a culture of death and one-ness, where Contraceptive methods are discussed openly, which allows the reduction of the expression of love to just another human animal function. What beauty would come if every married couple looked forward to the gift of a child, and waited until that time to share themselves in that greatest expression of love.

Over the next posts, I hope to lay out methodology to help. But for today, with the shadow of the anniversary of Roe vs Wade stretching out into the history of 2011, let us remember that there is a link between contraception and abortion,
