Growing Together in Marital love

Project Rachel - Post abortion healing

I am so grateful I kept my baby

Encouragement from a spiritual director

Women who have abortions are still mothers 

How to forgive yourself

Kathy Burkes and Fr. John McNamara join Doug to discuss Project Rachel and post abortion healing.

 
Julia - So many people pushed me to get an abortion when I was 22 and I didn’t go through with it. I’m so glad I didn’t. (18:12)
Walt - When we separate the word ‘mother’ from the term 'woman who had an abortion' we go nowhere. People who have abortions are still mothers. (33:26)
Deedee - I had an abortion and was absolved. Is there anything else I need to do? (36:32)
Teri - We need to do penance for the reparation of the severity of the sin. Can you talk about that? (43:16)

Healing the Wound of Abortion

Staying faithful to your marriage vows

Married to a high-functioning alcoholic 

Divorced but your marriage is valid

Doug unpacks a case study about a “stander” from Impossible Marriages Redeemed. A “stander” is a victim of divorce who chooses to continue to live a life faithful to their wedding vows.

 

Listener questions and comments:
Jeannie - We are called to faithfulness, not happiness. (20:40)
Jennifer - Thank you for the 'standers' and for what you promote. We can always offer Masses. (21:42)
Mary - What is the Church's view on people who leave marriage from abuse? I told my mom to leave her marriage when I was 16. (23:17)
Frank - I am now 72 but I was married when I was 23. We split up when my wife had an abortion. We got an annulment. (39:53)
