Much speculation, discussion, and outright confusion have abounded since the Synod on the Family last month. For many, it’s difficult to discern what actually took place and where the Catholic Church is headed. Today’s commentary offers clarification.
Today we celebrate Halloween a time for spooky goblins, cute witches, and maybe a bit of enjoyment in all things scary. But we know these things are not real; we know they are just part of the fun of the holiday. The real fear we should have lies in the evil that surrounds us each and every day the evil that Planned Parenthood embodies and tempts our children with.
Not only are some people content with stealing the lives of preborn babies for their own selfish ways, but now there is a growing trend of stealing children’s organs so that others may buy them. This sick practice shows just how depraved society can be when it comes to our fellow human beings.
We are all created in the image and likeness of God. Because of His goodness, we are brought into the world. We are never to end a life, even because of a terminal disease. Many people and organizations will have us believe otherwise. They encourage us to die with “dignity” yet they don’t seem to truly understand the meaning of the word.
A short video not only inspires, but shows the truth about the world in which we live a world where babies are systematically murdered. It will open your heart; it will open your mind.
People are made in the image and likeness of God and have intrinsic value. Human life and human dignity must never be compromised especially not to save money. As we see more and more what Obamacare does, we start to realize just how we and our loved ones are in jeopardy.
Cherish life each and every life. No matter how small, no matter how sick. God holds us all in the palm of His hand and loves us more than we will ever know. He treats us with compassion and wants us to do the same to our fellow human beings. We must never forget this.
Judie Brown explains what Pope Francis and the bishops have been discussing in the synod currently taking place at the Vatican.
Some things in life are difficult to understand, but the fact that a baby lives and grows inside his mother is not one of those things. What is difficult to understand is why hundreds of thousands of people have cried out about the life of one dog. Where is the outcry for the thousands of babies killed every day? Where are our priorities?
We have spent too much time allowing others to dictate our morality while we simply sat back and watched events unfold. And we have plummeted into a selfish society where the sanctity of life has been discarded and forgotten. How many more souls will be lost if we let this continue?
In this ever-changing world in which contraception is pushed from many fronts, we find that we must now add the pediatrician’s office to the list. Parents, beware. Make it a point to know what goes on when your child talks with his doctor.
One special family teaches us that all life is precious and that every child should be treasured and his life fought for. This example of parental love will warm your heart.
