In God We Trust


This column is not directly about pro-life campaigning, though in many ways it captures with devestating clarity how many of us within the campaign understand the mystery of suffering and death in our world. Amy Welborn's husband was a Catholic writer and journalist. He collapsed and died earlier this week, leaving behind a grieving widow and young children. This column was the last he wrote for his diocesan newspaper before his unexpected death and I was so touched by his words that I felt moved to share it with you.
