One of our members shared this prayer with our community after finding it within in a box of prayer cards and medals she had saved. I've been unable to find the prayer online and there was no credit given on her prayer card. If you know the author of this prayer please let us know in the combox as we'd love to add the attribution. Special thanks to our friend C for sharing this with us!
This post was written by myself, but originally published at The Guiding Star Project.
When I first got married I remember several women, both of my own age and that of my mother's, warning to me to be careful of those "mom groups", or "wife's night out gatherings." They gave a cautionary tale of the tendency many women have when in groups to uncharitably gossip and more specifically to talk poorly about their husbands. I quickly noticed their warnings to be quite accurate both in small gatherings as well as on TV and within the media itself. And it wasn't just the slightly cutting jokes made with well intentioned humor, it seemed to be an almost borderline, habitual discussion that was the default to most interactions.

One of the things my husband and I love to do together is watch sports. We tuned in on Saturdays this fall to watch our beloved Notre Dame Irish play football (who finished undefeated, but sadly lost the National Title game...still, go Irish!!). Once the football season ended ND basketball had already begun! If you've ever watched a game you'll know that with ND home sporting events comes the beautiful overhead campus shots, and for us, beautiful overhead campus shots come with lots of nostalgia...
Whenever I attend or teach at the Catholic Writers Conference Online, I sign into the chat room during early mornings for the virtual prayer group. We type the sign of the cross (+) and then the prayer leader posts a prayer, and when we're done with it, we post (Amen.) After that, we name our prayer intentions. And it works well...except for when it doesn't.
It seems that for the fertility savvy user (who knows there may be some issues afoot) the doctor dilemma is always looming. We are constantly having discussions on-site with women who are struggling to find a competent, fertility knowledgeable physician. Even though I'm often in the role of helping to find local options for those women, I have now found myself in the same dilemma as many of them and I can't help but ask: "Why does this have to be so difficult!"
Since we first opened LTS we have discussed how best to support our Men. We've received a number of questions in the past asking why we do not welcome men into our women-only forum. We are promoting shared fertility are we not?
My general practical nature came to the fore, and I wondered whether we get new names in Heaven. (As opposed to wondering, for example, what on earth I'm making for dinner. I only have so many brain cells, and now you see what occupies them.)
