 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.
