That man is such a living saint my eyes were scalding with tears at the sight of such mercy.
What if he had been one more like us pathetic snowflakes? May God have mercy on our soul for our paralyzing revulsion of seeing the aborted and caring for the dead, to a holy burial.
“For what you do for one of these little ones, you do unto Me.”

He is a wonderful man, indeed. He seems to have a calling which he could not perform if he were overburdened or otherwise unable to “face” it. I’m grateful to him.
I am one of those “sensitive” people (snowflakes?). In my family, I was the one who struggled to bounce back from family crisis even when I was 10. Some in our group may have service related PTSD (first responders, vets, others dealing with extraordinary events), battling depression, experienced a miscarriage, abortion or other event - and if they are paralyzed with revulsion, I believe there can be no moral failing or shame involved - comfort only. I believe these have another calling and serve other ways. So I don’t see us as pathetic; I see us as humans with a disparate variety of gifts.
I believe the pic chosen for that drop may have been selected because pics of all actual instances of DS merchandising of fetuses would have to be a) MUCH more traumatic in the context provided and b) classified (or have the potential to compromise the source of the pic).
As those of us who struggled today with the image seek to recover our footing, the choice of picture (a man honoring the dead so selflessly) points us to good, noble deeds. Following that line of thinking, for those the DS will slay, there are those who will do all they can, serve and sacrifice, to undo as much as possible. For this I am grateful. :)
