- About Me:
- I am a 63 year-old female Catholic, married to John Beacom for 42 years. On our wedding day, we consecrated our marriage to our Blessed Mother. We have 4 grown children, age 28-40. We have 5 grandchildren, aged 20 months-10 years.
We have always been against abortion, but became involved in working to stop it after a relative had an abortion in 1991 and we learned of it. I was active in the Pro-Life Apostolate at St. John the Apostle parish in the 90's , and was the leader for 2 years. During that time, I attended two Human Life International Conventions, led by Father Paul Marx. We have also supported Priests For Life for many years.
When our 26-year-old, unmarried daughter became pregnant in 1998, there was no question at all in our minds that we would help and support her in every way possible. "Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name, welcomes me." Matthew 18:1-6. That has turned out to be a commitment bigger than we ever imagined, but we have felt God's help every step of the way. Our efforts have brought us much joy and many blessings!
Our Blessed Mother is very dear to me, and a source of inspiration and help in every difficult situation. I have made the St. Louis de Montfort Total Consecration to Mary annually for a decade. I have been on pilgrimage to Lourdes, to Fatima, and to Medjugorje to ask for her help and to honor her. She has been with me constantly since I became a Catholic at age 10. St. Joseph is the gaurdian of our family, and one of our sons is named for him and St. Michael.
I now have halth problems (osteoporosis and environmental allergies) which prevent me from being as active in working to stop abortion as I would like, but I can and do pray! I pray the rosary daily for Our Blessed Mother's intentions.
My dear mother, who was 100% pro-life, and who gave help and shared her home with many unwed mothers over the years, died at the end of October, 2008, just im time to be in Heaven for her 92nd birthday. I was blessed to be with her the last week, and at her bedisde at the moment of death, praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with my husband and 2 of my 7 siblings. It was a very painful time , but one which I treasure. Mother was totally helpless and dependent on those who loved her during her last week, and we were blessed to share in her suffering and holy death.
I realize now, more than ever, the need to pray the Chaplet of Mercy daily for those who will die that day, and who have no one to pray for them!
