+Third Sunday after Easter+
The following was sent to me by my daughter, Aimee, mother of five and a fervent pro-life activist. Like me she loved being pregnant and always felt there was a special, mysterious symbiosis between mother and child that she could never quite explain. Finally, she found research that provided the perfect explanation for it, as expressed below.
“When pregnant, the cells of the baby migrate into the mothers bloodstream and then circle back into the baby, it’s called ‘fetal-maternal microchimerism.’
“For 41 weeks, the cells circulate and merge backwards and forwards, and after the baby is born, many of these cells stay in the mother’s body, leaving a permanent imprint in the mothers tissues, bones, brain, and skin, and often stay there for decades.
“Every single child a mother has afterwards will leave a similar imprint on her body, too. Even if a pregnancy doesn’t go to full term or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into your bloodstream.
“Research has shown that if a mother’s heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the site of the injury and change into different types of cells that specialize in mending the heart. The baby helps repair the mother, while the mother builds the baby.
“How cool is that? This is often why certain illnesses vanish while pregnant.
“It’s incredible how mothers bodies protect the baby at all costs, and the baby protects and rebuilds the mother back – so that the baby can develop safely and survive.
“Think about crazy cravings for a moment. What was the mother deficient in that the baby made them crave?
“Studies have also shown cells from a fetus in a mother’s brain 18 years after she gave birth. How amazing is that?”
If you’re a mom you know how you can intuitively feel your child even when they are not there… Well, now there is scientific proof that moms carry them for years and years even after they have given birth to them.”
I find this to be so very beautiful.

Posted by @3467lb on Mirakee app. #mirakee Justin Trudeau:
“For someone to start questioning my own faith and accusing me of being a bad Catholic, is something that I really take issue with. My own personal faith is an extremely important part of who I am and the values that I try to lead with.”
Justin Trudeau, if you think you’re still a good Catholic, you are deluded, when you are advocating for the slaughter of the unborn child which goes against the commandment of God -thou shall not kill
You are a disgrace to the name of -Catholic
And you call, the Judases, who betrayed the Church and my people, to be responsible for the abuse in residential schools, you should also be responsible to defend the right of the unborn to live
Hi All, Trudeau is a marxist in thought and deed – of that I am sure you know! AND they are children or brainwashed in the counter church – of that I am sure you know too!
We have the same issue here in US all those level govies at the top – are also fake catholics. satan has been well at work corrupting and destroying the true faith. blinding and letting those of ego and arrogance to succumb to their sins as their own righteousness…stuff you have pointed out in your various articles over time.
Thank you for providing this avenue of true Catholic truth.
