You can't imagine how much your messages and prayers are conforting, I thank and bless the lord for you, this beautiful family under the gaze of our blessed mother, mother of divine and eternal love, mother of sorrows who never leave her children alone. I am pretty sure she welcomed my baby Anthony inside her loving heart and she is watching over him. By the grace of God and with time, I am sure my wife and I will be comforted and he will answer all our questions in due time, nothing is lost with God. Every tear, every pain, every cross. My perspective to life already changed, I long now for heaven more than ever before and I value human life as never before and I have compassion for the weary and brokenhearted. I have a part of me in heaven now, and I look forward eagerly to meeting him and hold him one day in heaven and look together at the beautiful face of our lord, my little angel prepared the way for me already..
Thank you for this faith filled testimony. You are a true witness to Christ. Your public witness provides me with hope and encouragement. My wife and will continue our prayers for your family. Peace.
Zouxi, very sorry for your loss. In these situations, my thoughts always go to the Book of Job. God's ways are truly inscrutable.
I am so sorry that your precious little one is no longer with you. There is no greater pain than to lose a child to miscarriage or to hold the little lifeless body of your baby after he is stillborn. I kept thinking that this is what Our Blessed Mother must have grieved when she was holding her Jesus after he was taken down from the cross. But Heaven is quick to send consolation upon consolation. With all of the mind-numbing grief comes the angels drying your tears, supporting your arms as you hold him, and giving you the true sense that heaven has been emptied to take his sweet soul back to God and our Mother in heaven. Time and God's mercy will help you put little Anthony's memory in a special place in your heart until you see him again. God bless you and keep you and your family close.
I have prayed for consoling graces for you and your wife, zouxi. I'm so sorry for baby Anthony's passing. I had four miscarriages as well as seven living children. One time I dreamed of a boy who came up to me and started talking. He was very friendly and told me his name. He said he was going to choir practice and had to leave to board the bus. As he left, he said, Bye, mom. After I woke from this astonishing dream, I realized the name that he told me was the name I had given one of the miscarried babies. Heaven will be so awesome to finally see these wonderful children that we are separated from.
will our miscarried or stillborn babies remain babies in heaven or they will grow? I have many questions in my mind right now that I can't find answers..
I recall reading a Catholic Mystic one time years ago who claimed that babies who enter heaven are under the special care of Our Blessed Mother and angels who bring them up in a kind of special heavenly creche. This seems reasonable and logical. I have also read from several mystics that the perfect age in heaven is 26 years old (as with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden). So if you die aged less than 26 years old you grow up to age 26. Whereas if you die aged say, aged 90 you go backwards to aged 26. Again this seems logical.
My thoughts are that the deceased in Heaven are spirits, and as such, they can not only do things such as bilocate and instantly be in any place, but they can probably take certain forms or representations. For instance, some people's guardian angels appear to them as a magnificent grown being, while at other times they appear as a small child. And Mary has appeared many times holding the infant Jesus in her arms, even though He is obviously grown up now. She's even let saints hold the infant Jesus. So, I think with God's permission, our children in Heaven will be able to take on the form of children or infants if we hope to experience them as such when we arrive in Heaven one day.
Part of my typical daily routine has been to, on my lunch hour at work, walk over to the cemetery and pray the Rosary. I walk around the entire place in a loop until I finish and walk back to work, (I walk a lot). Anyway, one day last year I was there praying my Rosary, and going past a section that is all very young children, and I was struck with a wave of sadness. Some are a day old, a month old, etc. I walked by thinking about how they never had a chance, and then another thought struck me, and it was a very strong feeling. They are with the best Momma one could have, in Heaven. I don't know where that thought came from, but it gave me a great feeling of consolation. God uses all things for good.
