Just lost our baby again....question

[daniden]

My husband and I have been married 20 years and we have 5 living children. Over the course of our marriage we've lost 4 babies to early miscarriage (the last 2 were back-back----a couple days ago and this past January). I posted a question back in January when we lost our 3rd child about where our babies go after death if they weren't baptised. The 2 main theories I got were that either they went to limbo where they don't get to see the beatific vision of Christ, but were as happy as they can be, or..... that they are able to go to heaven because even though we have "ordinary" ways to salvation here on earth through baptism, God has "extraordinary" ways for our babies to go to heaven without baptism by water...per se.

I guess there's no way to know for sure and theologians haven't quite decided either, but the question I have is...IF babies go to limbo, when Christ comes again for the Final Judgement, will those babies get to go to heaven at THAT point? I think what I'm really getting at is....will we ever get to see our babies and be with them in eternity?

I know how much God loves children and I just can't imagine that he wouldn't someday allow them to see his face and live in true eternal happiness. I need to know that they're alright.

Thank you.....I'd appreciate any insight.

God bless,
Danielle

I would say that when Our Lord comes once again, that you will be with your babies.
Have you considered talking to a priest?

Danielle and family.
Your heart is so heavy with sadness. We don't know what happens. What we do know and we have the faith that God is love, He is mercy, He can not go against this because that is who He is. With this rest assured your children are being loved.


CATHOLIC LIFE PRAYERS.
MISCARRIAGE PRAYER
(By. Mother M. Angelica)

Why, my Lord, dare I ask why?
It will not hear the whisper of the wind or see the beauty of its parents’ face. it will not see the beauty of Your creation or the flame of a sunrise.
Why, my Lord?
“Why, My child, do you ask ‘why’?
Well, I will tell you why.
You see, the child lives. Instead of the wind he hears the sound of angels singing before My throne. Instead of the beauty that passes he sees everlasting Beauty, he sees My face. He was created and lived a short time so the image of his parents imprinted on his face may stand before Me as their personal intercessor. He knows secrets of heaven unknown to men on earth. He laughs with a special joy that only the innocent possess. My ways are not the ways of man. I create for My Kingdom and each creature fills a place in that Kingdom that could not be filled by another. He was created for My joy and his parents’ merits. He has never seen pain or sin. He has never felt hunger or pain. I breathed a soul into a seed, made it grow and called it forth.”
I am humbled before you, my Lord, for questioning Your wisdom, goodness, and love. I speak as a fool, forgive me. I acknowledge Your sovereign rights over life and death. I thank You for the life that began for so short a time to enjoy so long an Eternity.

Danielle, all you need to remember is that Jesus loves us so much He was prepared to die for us. Nothing else matters. If He could do that He will surely not permit you to be separated from your children forever...

I think you have your answer there. God loves those children far more than you ever could. So He will give them all the good you could wish for and much more. Just how that works out we will have to wait to see, but we know that the result will make us happy.
