Ad promoted positive message of life

Posted January 23, 2017 12:00 am

Regarding the three-page pro-life ad in the Sunday Herald, beautiful as always and so very informative! The message it gives is one of hope and trust in the Lord, especially for all those suffering from the trauma and guilt of abortion.

I also appreciate the ad including the thoughts of St. Pope John Paul and Faustina Kowalska, apostles of Divine Mercy, that no one need despair of receiving forgiveness for this or any other sin.

In her diary, St. Faustina recorded the words Jesus spoke to her that "the greater the misery of a soul, the greater its right to My Mercy ... On the cross, the fountain of My Mercy was opened wide by the lance for all souls -- no one have I excluded." (Divine Mercy in My Soul, no. 1182.)

Thank God for churches and organizations like Project Rachel, which are key to the healing process.
