THE LIFE OF JESUS IN THE WOMB: A MEDITATION AND A PRAYER
There is a very worthwhile apostolate called One More Soul. On their website they describe themselves as "a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading the truth about the blessings of children and the harms of contraception."
They have many outstanding pamphlets and DVD's on different subjects - chastity, infertility/fertility, contraception etc. Recently they came out with a pamphlet about the Unborn Christ Child.
The 12 page pamphlet entitled The Life of Jesus in the Womb - A Meditation and a Prayer by Kathleen Curren Sweeney is a loving and beautiful tribute to the pre-born Christ Child. In this pamphlet, the author describes the ordinary growth that each child in the womb experiences but that Our Lord himself sanctified during those wonderful nine months. We see Christ being prepared for the work of Salvation. "The whole destiny of the world is held in your tiny form." (p.4)
Throughout the booklet, Kathleen Sweeney has a prayerful love and understanding of the Pre-born Christ's solidarity to all pre-born babies especially those who are most vulnerable today. This is a perfect pamphlet for Respect Life groups to order for their parishes. To order this pamphlet click here.
Kathleen Sweeney has worked for National Right to Life for many years. In 2001, she began the master's degree in theology at the John Paul II Institute and completed it in 2004. Since then, she has been writing articles on the theology of marriage and family, bioethics and pro-life topics. She is now working only as a free-lance writer. An article she wrote on the Holy Family, will be published by the Homiletic and Pastoral review this fall.
