James’ Baby Girl
theophilus July 28th, 2008
Through Catholic Dads, I’ve been following the heartbreaking twists and turns of Catherine Hahn. She is James Hahn’s (blog: Real Life Rosary) baby girl and her GI system just can’t seem to get on track. She’s been in the hospital for an eternity (since birth) and has become one of those cases in which doctors will learn much.
In following this story, I’ve had to keep reminding myself that Catherine is not only James’ daughter, she is God’s; and He must have an incredible plan for this little girl of his. I don’t know what this plan might be, but I do know that I want her strength, perserverance and heroism watching my back.
Catherine’s story is a great story of love, devotion, hope and faith. Here’s the link to the latest update. Make sure you check it out, and then check back again and again, and through it all – pray, pray, pray. God has not only sent Catherine into the Hahn Family’s life, He has sent her into our lives’ as well.
And let us also remember that she is the Virgin Mother’s little girl. Let us fathers everywhere offer Catherine’s and our own children’s protection to the patronage of our Queen in Heaven.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you, O virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you do I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
