This past week I had the privilege of attending the annual
American Academy of Fertility Care Professionals conference. I have to admit
that this conference has transformed my life and opened my eyes to something
bigger than I could ever imagine. After reading Humane Vitae, Dr. Thomas
Hilgers decided to create NaPro Technology, which is now the most pro-life and
moral medical approach to Natural Family Planning, fertility, breastfeeding,
and infertility. Dozens of studies have been done under the direction of Dr.
Hilgers and the Pope Paul IV Institute. There is no better way to empower a
woman than to teach her how God designed her reproductive system to work. We live in a society that prescribes
contraception for every issue that a woman has with their reproductive system,
which in reality is really harming her more. It was absolutely mind blowing to
see so many pro-life Catholic doctors gather to find new ways to better serve
their patients. The truly care about each woman’s health- it’s beautiful. I
never imagined that I would be able to experience something like this, to
witness medical professionals come together and discuss how to build the
culture of life. The job that they have
is not easy; I was able to also listen to them talk about all the persecution
that they have to encounter from all the other medical professionals that are
building the culture of death. Speaking for myself, I know that I never took
the time to sit and think about the need that we have for pro-life doctors and
the change that they are making in our society by teaching couples the beauty
of their reproductive system and sexuality. Like many of them have shared with
us in their talks, if someone doubts that there is a God ask him to study a
woman’s reproductive system. It is incredible to see that these men and women
can see the beauty and in a way believe in God by studying our anatomy and
physiology. Let us remember to pray for all these holy men and women that are
courageously fighting to protect and teach us about our health.
May the Lord bless you and keep you, may he grant you the
desires of your heart.
May Mother Mary always guide you to Jesus.
Your Sister in Christ,
Michelle
