  The Admin login link to the dashboard of that site is

  http://evangelizingcatholic.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  The saved draft posts are found at
  http://evangelizingcatholic.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post

  Staff are working on improving post and page revisions. The most recent 25 revisions are available for posts and pages.

  If you cannot restore from your browser, or locate a revision, or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

  re: recovering a lost post or page
  Please go to https://wordpress.com/post with the same browser and see if it offers to restore a post. If a restore button appears, that means a local copy was saved in your browser and you may be able to recover it.

  If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Pages > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needed.

  I recommend:
  Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.

  Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.

  Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.

  Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/
