One night,
while praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet for the first time, she was released
from the bondage of the sin of abortion. For twelve years before this she
had suffered great pains of shame and guilt. Three of those years were
spent in secular counseling where she saw her therapist once a week. At the
end of those three years her therapist threw her hands up and said, “You’re
just going to have to live with this.” In reply Ann Marie said, “How does
someone learn to live with murdering their own child?” Ann Marie Cosgrove is a high energy, dynamic speaker who loves speaking to youth groups. She has a special gift of being able to reach out to teenagers and hold their attention. She has the ability to bring her audiences on a very personal journey of shame, guilt and despair to her return to God’s grace and forgiveness. One cannot help but feel His Love and Mercy shining through as she tells her story.

Ann Marie Cosgrove
lives in Minneapolis, MN where she was raised Catholic, received her
sacraments of Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation. While attending
Catholic high school in 1976 she and fellow students went to the Federal
Court building in Downtown Minneapolis to protest against abortion. Seven
years later she had one. Abortion is not an easy decision and the remorse
and regret will last a lifetime. Ann Marie came back to her faith, seeking
the Truth. She found it in the Catholic Church.
