The Dead Baby Society
What we believe
Life is hard
for you are either in the midst of a hard experience or
you just survived a hard experience or
you are moving toward your next hard experience
Hard experiences bring perspective
perspective gives us broader vision
broader vision gives us room to learn
learning gives us better discernment
Better discernment gives rise to wisdom
wisdom teaches us to choose the best
better choices gives rise to hope
having hope gives rise to courage
In the midst of our hard experiences we choose to do good
doing good shows that evil is defeated in spite of it's existence
doing good gives us meaning in spite of our hard experiences
doing good is contagious as others see and gain perspective
As Mary held the baby Jesus in her arms Simeon greeted her with these words, 'Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed and a sword will pierce through your own soul also, so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed'
Mary held and Mary heard. "appointed, a sign, opposed, a sword...." Mary pondered. Mary and her baby were moving toward their next hard experience.
The Incarnation of Jesus is the how and the why we believe these things. Like Mary holding Him close we know that the sword that pierces us also went through Him. Because He is in solidarity with our humanity, we can become partakers of His divinity.
So His words My peace I give to you, have real experience in spite of the hardships and evil in this world.
