Infertility can feel like one of the most isolating journeys you have to walk along in life. Around the Feast of All Saints, we wanted to create a Litany of Infertility Saints so you know that, along with us here on earth, you have heavenly companions who not only pray for you, but who deeply understand the cross you are carrying. May your cross feel a little lighter, the grief more bearable, as you pray this litany.

Let us remember the ways that we hope to be transformed. To remember our suffering ends with God's loving resurrection of our broken souls and bodies. To know that we are not called to know every detail of God's plan for us, but to let our lives be forever changed by our constant "yes" to His love and will.

Life can be both beautiful and hard at the same time, and our task is to learn how to live that reality without hardening our hearts. I have never felt more broken and grateful at the same time. There's a freedom in acknowledging that you can't control everything. Perhaps joy isn't about forcing yourself to feel better, but about taking small, honest steps and allowing both pain and beauty to coexist.
