About The Original Pillow
Grace's original design of the first Pro-Life Prayer Pillow.
The Pro-life Prayer Pillow was started in prayer through our daughter Grace when she was seven years old. After a holy hour for life (an hour spent in prayer) on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade in 2012, she told me that she wanted to make something, sell it, and "give the money back to mommies so that they could buy diapers and not do abortions."
When I asked her what she wanted to make, she said, "I want to sew a cross and stuff that cross and on the cross I want to put a baby...because those babies suffer like Jesus suffered on the cross. Then," she said, " I want to put a heart with rays of light coming from that baby..." After she shared that with me, I was given a picture on my heart of what the pillow was supposed to look like.
I knew that this was of the Lord because at the beginning of the Holy Hour, I felt a very strong presence of the Blessed Mother and heard strongly in my heart, "I want you to do something in the community for pro-life." I simply said back in the silence, "If there is something that you want my family or I to do, just tell me what it is..." The answer came through my seven year old immediately after the holy hour was completed - in front of the Blessed Sacrament.
The first Pro-life Prayer Pillow was then created by Grace and her family in 2012. Since then, seamstresses and volunteers have gotten involved, new designs have been created and tens of thousands of dollars have been donated to pro-life groups and women in need.
