Miscarriage : understanding your loss from a catholic perspective

Back In His Arms Again Ministry

Shrine of Holy Innnocents

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day: October 15

This is also the feast of St. Teresa of Avila (reformer of the Carmelite Order), let her intercede for you as you remember the soul of your lost child.

“Back in His Arms Again“, is a ministry that will help you if you find a need for help after a miscarriage. There are also resources available for those who may be suffering with difficult pregnancy, such as “Be Not Afraid Ministry“. If you are in need of further information or could use a helping hand let us know.

St. Teresa of Avila, 1515-1582

“Let nothing trouble you, let nothing make you afraid. All things pass away. God never changes. Patience obtains everything. God alone is enough.”

Prayer to Redeem Lost Time
O my God! Source of all mercy! I acknowledge Your sovereign power. While recalling the wasted years that are past, I believe that You, Lord, can in an instant turn this loss to gain. Miserable as I am, yet I firmly believe that You can do all things. Please restore to me the time lost, giving me Your grace, both now and in the future, that I may appear before You in “wedding garments.” Amen.

Prayer to Saint Teresa of Avila
Dear wonderful Saint, model of fidelity to vows, you gladly carried a heavy cross following in the steps of Christ who chose to be crucified for us. You realized that God, like a merciful Father, chastises those whom he loves – which to worldlings seems silly indeed. Grant to {name of sufferer} relief from great pains, if this is in line with God’s plans.

If you have struggled with multiple miscarriages this article may be a sign of hope for you… we pray it is for many.

Dear Friends of Hannah’s Tears,

I am writing you today to tell you of a ministry that my husband and I along with Fr. H. Blubaugh began in 2005. It is called “Back In His Arms Again”. We felt called to begin this ministry after the loss of our son, Gabriel Francis. Since May 2005 we have been approved and distributed throughout the Columbus diocese. Not only do we help families in need during the loss of their baby, we also have made presentations at many area churches, hospitals, the National convention of “Newborns In Need” and most recently recorded a program with Fr. Frank Pavone which aired on June 1, 2008, “Gospel of Life” program. In addition we have recorded two radio programs with our local Catholic station, St. Gabriel Radio, “Yes Lord!” program.

One of our most recent projects is establishing a “Garden of Holy Innocents” at each of the four Catholic cemetery’s in Columbus Ohio. This would provide a place of healing and prayer for families that experience the loss of a baby. We anticipate the completion of these burial “Gardens” in the next year.

We receive 50-100 emails and phone calls per month from around the USA, and we have received several international phone calls. Our ministry provides anything from burial layettes, caskets, funeral home support, hospital transportation, etc… the whole idea is to bring together resources from our community and beyond to help families give their babies a respectful and dignified burial. It is evident from our rapid growth in the past three years, that we need to help families through the Catholic faith to find healing and peace.

Fr. Frank Pavone, will soon be helping us to grow even further on a National level. We are looking forward to expanding so we may help as many families as possible.

Grief And Stress

Recovering From Grief

I have just received notice of two recent miscarriages and women in need of prayer for this great sorrow in their lives. It saddens me to hear of these losses, in my heart I know Our Lord is taking care of those in this deep pain. Please know that if you have had a recent loss, that Our Lady is with you. She is comforting you, especially when you are feeling so alone!

There is a deep suffering that I endure at times that nothing can take away, accept resting in Our Lords presence in Holy Eucharist… in times of crisis…yes, I do struggle to desire wanting to be near the Lord, but in my heart, I know that there is no where else to go accept to Him who waits in the tabernacle for us.

If you are enduring this cross of miscarriage, stillbirth, infant death and infertility (this is a silent death), I want to urge you to run to Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. Jesus is our true medicine! He will bring you peace and hope in time…trust in HIM!!!

Love and Prayers,
Hannah’s Tears
