O Lord and Master of my life! Take from me the spirit of sloth, faint-heartedness, lust of power, and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to thy servant. Yea, O Lord and King! Grant me to see my own errors and not to judge my brother; For Thou art blessed unto ages of ages.



Amen

from darkness to Light

Dr. Bernard Nathanson

“He was like St. Paul, who was a great persecutor of the Church, yet when he saw the light of Christ, he was perhaps the greatest apostle for the Gospel. Dr. Nathanson was like that after his conversion. He went all around the world talking about the babies and the evils of abortion. Being his godmother was such an amazing thing, to see him come to Christ.”
~  pro-life activist Joan Andrews Bell

Truthfully, I didn't know who he was until I read the notice of his passing from an email.  But, I didn't get through but a few lines before I began to hurt for Dr. Nathanson.  The pain he describes is horrible. 

This man knew the hurt and evils of abortion from a unique perspective.  Abortion hurts!  It hurts the child, mother, father, extended family, and the doctors.  Dr. Nathanson came to regret his position and was haunted by the deeds of his own hands.  His conversion, both from abortionist to Pro LIFE advocate and from atheist to Catholicism should be read.  

LifeSiteNews

EWTN covering his conversion to Catholicism.  This is an excellent article.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
And let perpetual Light shine upon him
May the souls of the faithful departed
through the mercy of God rest in peace.
Amen.
