@frpaddybyrne Our faith is that all life comes from God and will return to Him. The kingdom of heaven belongs to His children (Matthew 19:14) and surely to those murdered through abortion. The Lord will never forget His own (Isaiah 49:15. May the poor innocents ask Godโs forgiveness on us all.
Before he was Pope Leo XIV, Robert Prevost had heard about 16-year-old Donal Walsh who was dying of cancer in the west of Ireland. He was so impressed by Donal's deep that he wrote him a letter offering to make him an honorary Augustinian. And two days before he died, Donal was sworn in.
This is the story of a teenager whose courage and conviction inspired Ireland, and also a future Pope.
