On a recent episode of the Godsplaining podcast, Sr. Bethany Madonna, a member of the Sisters of Life<\/a> religious order which ministers to abortion-vulnerable and post-abortive women across the United States and Canada, shared the pro-life approach that helps more than a thousand women each year choose life amidst tremendously challenging circumstances.<\/p>\n

A new pro-life approach to crisis pregnancy<\/h3>\n

The Sisters of Life gently and boldly invite the women they encounter into a new way of seeing an unplanned pregnancy \u2014 a way of expectant hope that makes room for miracles, and admits the possibility of something beautiful coming from what many feel is a life in ashes. “Sometimes women have this experience [of unplanned pregnancy] and they\u2019re like \u2018oh my gosh, I can\u2019t believe this happened to me,\u2019” Sr. Bethany Madonna said. “And it\u2019s almost like the Lord is showing her in some way, \u2018I\u2019m here. I\u2019m here in this circumstance, I\u2019m here in this situation. And I trust you. I want another to experience your love. I think it\u2019s good. I want better for you and more for you, and here\u2019s a treasured gift I\u2019m entrusting to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

She clarified, \u201cThat takes time, obviously, for a woman to receive that, because the concept of being a mother can be so shattering to her identity. But [it\u2019s important] to recognize that the Lord is present and loving and wanting to be present in that circumstance.\u201d<\/p>\n
