  • Danielle BeanDanielle Bean writes an excellent article on what it means to be open to new life, even if life right now isn’t perfect! She also brings up a good point about what a humbling experience it is to need assistance. I don’t think many people understand that the trade off for any type of any type of assistance is a loss of privacy, particularly financial privacy.tags: catholic, NFP, birth, control, contraception, marriage
    • It is not selfish for a poor mother of many to remain open to life. It’s heroic.
      A woman who places her trust in God and accepts new life under less than ideal circumstances is being as generous to God, to her family, and to her community as she possibly can be.
    • Only someone who has never needed financial help could possibly think that anyone takes government assistance because it’s fun or because they’re lazy. People take government assistance because, for whatever reason, THEY NEED IT. They would LOVE to not need it. It’s embarrassing and humbling. It’s not selfish.
    • I am convinced that women who accept new life when God sends it, planned or unplanned, have a special place in Our Lord’s heart. It is anything but selfish to imitate Mary’s “fiat” and her simple trust in God in such a humbling, self-giving way. It’s the stuff that saints are made of.
      But to begrudge people the help they need to provide for their families while you yourself have been blessed with plenty? Now that would be selfish.
