**In a world where up to 90 percent of Down syndrome children are aborted, the Prioress of the Little Sisters Disciples of the Lamb says the order exists, “To allow those who have the ‘last place’ in the world, to hold in the Church the exceptional place of spouses of Jesus Christ. To allow those who depend on others for their everyday life to take in charge, in their prayer, the intentions that are entrusted to them. To allow those whose life is held in contempt to the extent of being in danger from a culture of death, to witness by their consecration to the Gospel of Life.”**

Tears running down my face — thinking of my Down Syndrome grandson.

Catholic Ping!

In the midst of all this awfulness, I feel my heart being warmed.

Very sad to hear of this. He will be in my prayers especially this Holy Week.

Tears for me too, Salvation.

Physically or mentally disabled doesn’t mean the soul - who is untouched by those infirmities - cannot glorify and serve God.

So beautiful. I am glad that such goodness and love exists in this world.
