I already knew that Windy, an Indonesian woman married to an American by the name of Brian, was already in the hospital. Windy was seven months pregnant and her little baby girl was ready to be delivered early. The man who came to my door told me that the baby did indeed just arrive and the baby was not in good shape. In fact, the baby was being sent immediately from the Catholic hospital that is on our side of the city to the Driscoll Children's Hospital where they care for the most delicate cases of little babies and children that are having serious difficulties. I asked Miguel if a nurse had baptized the little baby. He did not know. So, I rushed over to Driscoll Hospital in order to baptize the little baby. I rushed into the Neo-natal ICU unit. "Where's the baby?" The nurse looked at me rather strangely. "Which baby?", she asked. "The Peitz baby that was sent over from Spohn South". She looked at the computer screen. "The only baby that arrived from Spohn South is the Falcon baby." "Falcon?" I thought fast (not easy late on Monday night) and I assumed that Falcon must be Windy's maiden name. "Take me to the Falcon baby. I need to baptize the baby". The Falcon baby was being prepared for immediate surgery. I baptized the baby and thanked all of the nurses that were present. As I left the N-ICU unit and entered once again the waiting area to take the elevator down to the first floor of the hospital, a gentleman approached me and asked me if I could baptize his baby who was in really bad shape. We returned to the N-ICU unit and the man told the nurse that he wanted me to baptize his baby. "What is your last name?", asked the nurse. "Falcon", said the man. I turned to the man and said, "I baptized the wrong baby. Your baby is already baptized!" I then realized what had occurred. God used the little Peitz baby to get me to Driscoll Hospital to baptize another baby. If it were not for the Peitz baby, I would never have been at Driscoll Hospital at that very moment. I then asked the nurse to check the computer regarding the Peitz baby. New updated information had just arrived and she told me that the Peitz baby was still at Spohn South and would not arrive to Driscoll for another two hours. Rushing back to Spohn Hospital I was able baptize little Irena Marie Peitz. The next day the first baby that I had baptized died after surgery. A few days later, on Friday night, little Irena Marie joined the Falcon baby in Heaven. Thanks to Irena Marie, the first baby is in Heaven. Yesterday afternoon, at our little parish, a little saint was laid to rest. Although we are saddened by a great loss, we celebrated her life and rejoiced because she is truly in Heaven. Throughout this entire ordeal, I could not stop thinking about the amazing example of Windy, Brian, their children, our parishioners, the doctors, the nurses and the chaplains. Everyone was doing what they could to save a life. Meanwhile, not too far down the road, the abortion doctor is doing all that he can to destroy little children.
