Question:

Dear Brother Ignatius Mary,

I was wondering: When someone has an abortion the soul of the aborted baby goes directly to heaven, right? So, when the New Kingdom comes and we are resurrected in our bodies what body will those that had no earthly body have? - Like those aborted or miscarried.

Also, how will we know of those that we aborted or miscarried as of our own sort of speak...

Thank you,
Christina

Dear Christina:

Aborted babies go to be with God. We entrust them to God's care in whatever manner that is His will. 

At the end of the age our bodies are resurrected and our souls reunited with our bodies. We do not exactly know how this works, but the bodies of aborted babies are likely to be resurrected as children of a certain age, just as adult bodies will be resurrected and appear as a certain age in its gloried state. That is just a guess, as we really do not know. St. Paul said that we do not know exactly what we will be like in this gloried state, but that we will be like the resurrected Jesus.

We will know all our children who may have died from directed abortion, abortion by contraceptives, and miscarriage by a supernatural knowledge. We will know our own. God is wonderful.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
