Pregnancy as marital fulfilment - update!

In October 2006, I reported on Valeria Manca's excellent letter in Faith Magazine on Pregnancy as marital fulfilment. There was also this lovely picture of Valeria with her tenth child.

Well here are numbers 11 and 12: twins Laura and Clara born earlier this month.

Congratulations to all the family - including ten happy brothers and sisters:

This is wonderful and good news for Valeria and her family. I have been married for 8 years, my husband and I are both in our 40s he is to a good Catholic husband and we have no children, I can't help thinking how unfair life can be. We still pray and hope...

Dear Anne, many couples I know share this cross. Some have adopted children where that is appropriate. Others have become very active, as childless couples, in the lay apostolate. I will remember you in the Mass tomorrow and pray that God will lead you and your husband in the path that he has called you in carrying the cross with him. God bless you and thank you for your generous comment.
