Today I met an amazing and brave young girl who had taken up
a demoralising and life-threatening career to support her two young children.
She was expecting again and felt it was impossible to continue the pregnancy in
her desperate situation. At first I thought there was no hope; she was
reluctant to talk and looked exhausted and distressed. Almost giving up I said
a quick prayer under my breath and continued to speak to her. A few days later
I received a call from her saying she had been thinking about our conversation
and was wondering if we could meet again. I was so shocked; I really thought
she was definitely abortion-bound. This small experience taught me prayers go a
long way, and I need an active spiritual life to help me persevere.
