The Shrine of the Holy Innocents

A few days after I lost Hope, I asked for her name to be signed into the Book of Life at the church of the Holy Innocents in New York, NY.  The shrine is dedicated in memory of the children who have died unborn.

“At The Church of The Holy Innocents, we invite you to name your child(ren) and to have the opportunity to have your baby's name inscribed in our "BOOK OF LIFE". Here, a candle is always lit in their memory. All day long people stop to pray. On the first Monday of every month, our 12:15pm Mass is celebrated in honor of these children and for the comfort of their families. We pray that you will find peace in knowing that your child(ren) will be remembered at the Shrine and honored by all who pray here. “http://innocents.com/shrine.asp

A few days later I received a certificate with Hope’s name on it.  What a beautiful thing that they do.  Seeing her name on that piece of paper is just another physical reminder I have that shows she was here with us.
