In our selfish world, we see motherhood scoffed at, we see babies thought of with disdain and discarded. We see people show more concern for the well-being of animals than for human life. It’s a sickness that has slowly crept into the mindsets of people young and old and it’s a sickness we must find a cure for if we are ever going to break this cycle and make people understand that the lives of all human beings are sacred.
Atrocities against human beings occur every day worldwide. Often we hear an outcry when an offense is especially egregious. But what could be more egregious than the wanton slaughtering of innocent babies or than the premature death of those who are ill? Let us examine the actions, or the inactions, of our daily lives. Souls are at stake.
Animals, especially those that are threatened or endangered, deserve our care and protection. But we must not close our eyes to humanity to life that grows within a woman’s womb. Defenseless babies are regularly killed and discarded without much thought or concern. It is time to stop their slaughter.
Like a small child who tells his parent, I can do it myself man has repeatedly pushed God away. We seem to be telling God the same thing, yet it’s not just independence we want from Him; it’s autonomy and control. We are telling God we have no use for Him any longer. We now see the destruction this causes in lives, in families, in society. When will it end?
The lack of respect for life exists not only in America, but in other countries as well. We see this in a recent assisted suicide proposal and in the widespread support for it in England. It seems the culture of death epidemic knows no boundaries.
It seems that organizations are so anxious to provide birth control to women that they are even willing to now use microchips implanted in the human body to dispense it. It may sound crazy or futuristic, but it may become reality. Imagine the implications of doling out a hormone with just a remote control.
If you have not heard of eugenics or do not understand the word’s meaning, it is imperative that you learn. Throughout the world, individuals and organizations have adopted the attitudes and practices that some people are better than others and are working hard to push this belief on those easily swayed. They do not understand the sanctity of each and every life. They do not understand that every life is a gift. This is why education is important.
The culture of death is increasingly prevalent in today’s society and around the world. It can be seen in the lack of respect and dignity shown for preborn babies, for the sick, and for the dying. But this need not be the case. For those who do not have voices, we must speak. For those who do have voices, we must augment them so they are heard. Life is precious. Life is a gift. It is not for us to take away from anyone.
As we reflect on the freedom and independence our Founding Fathers fought so hard for, we must vow to continue to fight for those rights for life, for liberty so that we can live life as Our Lord wants us to.
Judie Brown reacts to yesterday’s SCOTUS decision and explains the truth about hormonal contraception a truth that many do not understand. A truth that many do not want to hear.
On a daily basis, we see the innocence of children eroded. Television, Internet articles, and social media combine to allow children to enter a world of sexualization at an earlier age and adults and parents just seem to accept this. Indeed, even some embrace it and welcome it into their schools and their homes. When will we realize the damage we are doing? When will we say enough is enough?
Just as an earthly mother takes care of her children, so does our Blessed Mother. She is there for us in times of sadness, in times of despair, and in times of happiness as well. Her love is unceasing. This is why ALL has asked for her help in saving innocent preborn babies. Peacefully and prayerfully protesting, while asking for the intercession of our Blessed Mother, has borne fruits we never could have imagined.
