For many, the decision to have an abortion is followed by deep emotional pain – feelings of shame, guilt and a struggle to feel forgiven are not uncommon. Just know this: You Are Not Alone. Healing Is Possible. Rachel’s Vineyard Weekend Retreats are a beautiful opportunity for any woman or man who has struggled with the emotional or spiritual pain of an abortion. During the weekend, we gather as the suffering Body of Christ and minister to each other in his name. Through prayerful spiritual exercises & sacred rituals, we help you face the pain of losing your unborn child. Our mission is to guide you toward healing – offering space to grieve, to bring your sorrow before the Lord, and to receive the full mercy & forgiveness found in Christ. The retreat is presented in the Catholic tradition but is open to other people of faith. Website: www.atimeformercy.org National: www.rachelsvinyeard.org
