Every life born and preborn has value and must be treated with dignity and respect. Abortion is the direct taking of a precious life and an act that often destroys other lives as well. But abortion is not something to be silent about. We must talk, we must teach, we must listen. And most of all, we must forgive.
The weight of words is significant and what we choose to say or convey to others often determines what they believe. So we must choose our words well, and with sufficient knowledge, so that there is a true understanding of the truth especially when it comes to matters related to Christ and His teachings.
A young child’s life is threatened. Her family is devastated and suffering. Imagine the possibility of losing a child something no family should ever go through. And then imagine having to fight in court for her life. Today’s commentary explains what happened next.
It is that time of year to evaluate your life, to examine behaviors, and to determine how to make the next year better. Today’s commentary shows us how Planned Parenthood plans to spend its next year and future years. Are you committed to making the world a better place or to merely watching what happens in the world? How will you resolve to act this coming year?
Our Lord Jesus Christ, who created us in His image and likeness, came into the world as a tiny baby over 2,000 years ago to save us from sin. We rejoice at this gift, at this perfect act of love. This Christmas season, let us open ourselves fully to Him, let us allow into our hearts the love He shares with us each and every day, and let us shower that love on all those around us.
Though we may not always understand the pope s actions, we must trust him to do God’s will. God’s will is not always clear to us right away, so often we must silence our hearts and listen, for when God speaks, we must be ready to hear.
It’s normal to want to trust your doctor’s advice, to heed his every word when it comes to your own care, or the care of a loved one. You know he has taken the Hippocratic Oath and you believe he has your best interests at heart. But is that always the case? What happens when you have a serious or terminal illness? Will he still give you the care that everyone deserves? When it comes to POLST forms, education is key.
Two cases coming before the Supreme Court are a reflection of the morality inherent in our society today. Rampant sexuality and the use of contraceptives seem to be the new norm. And many think their right to contraceptives should be provided by our tax dollars. What example will the court provide?
What happens when we make up our own set of ethics? What lengths will we go to to justify our evil actions to justify the murder of the preborn, the elderly, the infirm? Imagine the suffering that will result if we do not stand up and clarify the meaning of ethics and help others understand.
It is a sad moment in history when a government calls upon a lone woman to testify about contraception and attempts to tell the country she is representative of women. Where is the person they asked to testify about morality and about the sanctity of life? This deliberate attempt to alter morality and to squash the words and will of our Lord is becoming rampant today and the results are sickening. We must make our voices heard or this will not just be a fluke; it will be the norm.
This time of year, we express our thankfulness more often. We tell others how we feel and maybe even perform works of charity. We remember those who cannot be with us or who have passed from this life. But let us never forget the smallest among us who never had the chance to live a life outside the womb. Let us not forget those who are sick or terminally ill. And let us always be thankful for the life we have been given and vow to make the lives of our fellow human beings better and more rewarding. For if we do not help others, who will?
A group of immensely wealthy individuals pledge to give at least half of their money to the needy. It’s an incredible gift of generosity. Yet what if these monetary gifts hurt more than they help? What if the money goes to services that destroy families and kill babies? Our country is in a sad state of affairs when we must worry about philanthropy like this.
