…in our time of trial.
We lost our little one today, (I was 11 weeks along), and for now I would just like to share this beautiful, consoling poem that was given to me by my dear friend Tina.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill my heart with Your holy gifts. Let my weakness be penetrated with Your strength this very day that I may fulfill all the duties of my state conscientiously, that I may do what is right and just. Let my charity be such as to offend no one, and hurt no one’s feelings; so generous as to pardon sincerely any wrong done to me.
Assist me, O Holy Spirit, in all my trials of life, enlighten me in my ignorance, advise me in my doubts, strengthen me in my weakness, help me in all my needs, protect me in temptations and console me in afflictions. Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit, and pour Your light into my heart, my soul, and my mind. Assist me to live a holy life and to grow in goodness and grace.
Amen.
I am so grateful for all of your prayers throughout this pregnancy and now during this miscarriage. You are a tremendous blessing in my life–you truly are–and I am offering up prayers of thanksgiving to our Lord and our dear Blessed Mother for your kindness and your love.
