In a recent episode of Made for Love<\/a>, a marriage and family life-focused podcast, Maryland-based musician<\/a>\u00a0and artist<\/a> Michael Corsini<\/a> recounted an experience he had after a 2019 abortion healing retreat weekend where he had provided music. After the retreat, Corsini was approached by a post-abortive mother who wanted to commission a painting based on a beautiful dream she’d had of a reunion with her own three children who had been aborted.<\/p>\n

Corsini said he felt\u00a0“really compelled” by the request, “as if I could almost see [what the painting would look like] immediately.” Next, however, he felt trepidation about conveying the woman’s dream accurately, fearing that he “would fail her.” His moment of calm came when he asked “for the intercession of the children” to pray for him as he worked on the project.<\/p>\n

Corsini need not have worried.\u00a0When the woman saw the painting, she wept, because although she had not described to Corsini what her living children looked like, his portrayal of her daughter lost to abortion looked just like her living daughter.<\/p>\n
