Confused about Original Sin & Absence of Baptism


My doctor is concerned that I may be having a miscarriage. Can you please tell me what happens to my baby's soul if there is a miscarriage? I'm confused about original sin and the absence of a baptism. Thank you for the time you give to help so many people.

Sincerely,
T

Dear T,

You are very much in my prayers. I've been with several mom's who have suffered miscarriages. We were able to do a funeral service and to bury the tiny babies, but of course the pain continues. I do not know what happens to their little souls, tho I think about it a lot. I even wrote a short story: Marina and the Babies.

It seems God creates many children who he very early takes to Himself. I can't help think a beautiful part of the next life will be to see them and have some communion with them, but I cannot go farther than just personal speculation because the Bible does not give us a great deal to go on. We do have the feast of the Holy Innocents on Dec. 28 which is some indication, altho their salvation has always been understood as a martyrdom for the Child Jesus.

Please let me know how all this goes.

God bless,

Fr. Phil Bloom
