Our Pastor's Messages THE LOSS OF A CHILD AND THE SUPPORT OF THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY FOR THE FAMILY
Dear family, As I reflect on my earlier years, miscarriage was a topic I rarely heard mentioned. Many families mourn the loss of an unborn child. Sometimes a child dies upon delivery by his or her mother, or moments after birth. These are very difficult and painful experiences for a family. Many suffer in silence, afraid to share the hurt and pain. But the light of Christ Jesus shines on those who bear the weight of this loss. Jesus gives us hope and peace. In our community, we will host a memorial Mass and healing liturgy. Anyone who is grieving the loss of a loved one--no matter when the death occurred--is especially invited to ask God for his peace. We are a people whom Jesus calls to announce the precious dignity of each person--born and unborn. And we support each other in the Holy Spirit by prayer. On Wednesday, March 20 at 6:30PM, join me at St. Paul the Apostle Church for this special Mass. We will pray on the Lenten journey for the repose of those souls who died before, at, or shortly after birth. All are welcome to join our community to support those families burdened by this loss. God's peace to you, Fr. Frisoni |
