We approach November and the month to pray for those who have died. I recently learned of an organization that offers burial and prayer support for those whose lives have ended and who have no one to lovingly commend them to God. 

Sacred Heart Guardians and Shelter facilitates dignified burials for embryos who “arrest” or die. Specifically, these are the many little human lives that have been created in in-vitro fertilization laboratories. They may have been frozen and unable to survive the thawing process, or they couldn’t survive laboratory conditions, or for whatever reason they just weren’t chosen to be received in a mother. So, SHG prays for and provides for burial for these little souls. 

Praying for the dead fills me with wonder. I pray for a lot of people who are still in this world. In many cases, they don’t even realize I am praying for them. But when I pray for those who have died, I get a spiritual sense – they know! Perhaps they even return the favor and pray for me. 

Check out the SHG service below and join them in prayer. You may be blessed with some little hugs and prayers sent from heaven.
