I was in church a few weeks ago, and at the end of mass a young lady came to the podium and wanted to talk to everyone about a group that helped her. She told her story of being a wild kid, and said that she was pregnant at 17, then again at 19. Now, however, thanks to the group, at 22 she was married to the father of her children and couldn’t be happier. What angels they were! They really helped me overcome lots of obstacles. Please help if you can.
I looked into the eyes of the baby I was holding. Her mom went to prison for fraud, and left her at the age of two months with her girlfriend, an alcoholic crack addict who was also a prostitute. Luckily a local businessman realized what happened and called the authorities. They found the baby living in a trashed apartment, and her “guardian” replied to queries about her drinking with “only when I can.” There was no formula in the house, and she had no job.
Would this group of angels had helped? Or does the church have such a problem with promiscuity, drug use, prostitution, and homosexuality that they would have just turned their back on her?
I wonder.
