...for I have overcome the world! (John 16:33)
It is possible to be of good heart when raising a child with special needs only through Him who overcame the world. And it is not just possible, but it is our duty and a mandate from Christ to be of good heart, placing all our trust in Him! I see the vocation to raise a child with special needs as a call within a call, to use Mother Teresa's words. This special call within the vocation of motherhood, which is an invitation to accompany Christ a bit closer in His Passion, will not be one of doom and gloom when lived with Him and for love of Him.
