Life ~ a Precious Gift ~ a Miracle to be Treasured!



Prayer to Mary, Mother of the Life Within

O Mary, Mother of the Life Within,
all life we entrust to you;
The life of every expectant mother
and the child within her womb:
The life of every human body,
the life of every human soul;
The life of every newborn child
and the life of all grown old.
You held the Lord to your own heart
and drew Him so close in.
So draw us now in all our needs,
O Mother of the Life Within. Amen.



The Letter ~ from a Young Mother to her Aborted Child



Modern medical science has clearly shown us that human life begins at conception.

*At conception a new human being begins, complete with his or her own unique set of DNA; which is present from the first day of life. The new little person’s sex is also determined from the beginning.

*Eighteen days after conception the baby’s heart is beating.

*During the first month the baby grows to 10,000 times his/her size at conception.

*She or he moves six weeks after conception though the mother does not yet feel the movements.

*At eight weeks every part of the body found in an adult is already in the baby.

* At eleven weeks after conception the baby has finger-prints and the finger nails are growing.

*At twelve weeks the baby’s lips open and close. S/he can wrinkle his/her forehead, raise his or her eyes, turn his or her head, smile and frown.

*At sixteen weeks she or he reacts to sound, sucks and swallows, may get hiccups, yawns and stretches.

*Although moving since six weeks, at eighteen weeks the mother now feels the movements. The baby pushes with his or her feet and head to exercise and tone his or her developing muscles and also sucks his or her thumb. His or her toenails, hair, eyebrows, fringe of eyelashes on closed eyelids are growing.

*At twenty weeks the baby sleeps and wakes and is fully able to hear.
At twenty four weeks the baby may possibly dream and can make a fist and punch it against his or her mother.

*By twenty-five weeks the baby in the womb has the ability to hear like that of an adult and can discern the moods and attitudes of its mother. So we obviously want happy Moms so that we can have happy babies!

*The baby from an early stage can show the usual symptoms of pain during a pre-birth operation and even release the chemicals associated with adult pain but nobody can judge definitively whether it is in pain or not.
