GIFT OF JOY The Blessing of the Child in the Womb by ARCHBISHOP JOSEPH E. KURTZ AND MSGR. J. BRIAN BRANSFIELD

Description

The presence of new life in the womb of the mother brings unique joy and hope to the center of our families, our church and our world. It is the ultimate gift. It’s also an invitation to grown in your faith, to accept the support of your parish community, and to more fully embrace your relationship with Christ. GIFT OF JOY is part of that invitation–a tiny treasure to help you celebrate and understand your unique role as a parent and recipient of God’s gift of life. It also introduces you to the experience of the blessing of the Church through the special RITE FOR THE BLESSING OF A CHILD IN THE WOMB. Paper.
