Sequel to "Father Forgive them"

In today’s first reading, Hebrews  8: 6-13, St. Paul speaks about the  second covenant God made with us. St. Paul explains God’s intention:  “…. [T]his is the [second] covenant I will establish with the house of Israel…: “I will put my laws in their minds and I will write them upon their hearts. I will be their God and they shall be my people….I will forgive their evil doing and remember their sins no more.”  As I reflected upon the reflections I wrote yesterday, I went to the Lord for feedback. This is what I heard in prayer:

Dorothy Ann, I see a terrified teenager, a distraught mother, entering an abortion clinic. Some of these women are being forced to abort their child.  These women are—many of them—confused and have been convinced that the fetus is nothing more than tissue and that discarding it, aborting it, is not killing a child or ending a life.  They truly believe there is no life there to end, anymore than when their blood flows when menstruating and they are not pregnant. These women, many of them, truly do not know that they are ending the life of a child. They believe that they are discarding tissue and tissue only. 

Judas thought he would see me walk away from danger, as I had done so many times before.  He did not perceive himself being an accomplice in my execution. In the case of an abortion, that is, in many instances,  the position of both the mother and the abortionist physician. They have no idea what they are doing  anymore than my executioners knew that they were killing the Son of God made flesh by participating in an act that would save the world.

As in today’s first reading, I say to every mother and every abortionist: “I  forgive …[your] evil doing and remember…[your] sin no more.” I say the same to you, Dorothy Ann, whenever you engage in evil doing. “I remember your sin no more.” In the words of the priest: Go and sin no more!
