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.
The time to take action, to speak about the sacredness of life, to volunteer and show you care is now. There is never a need to wait until tomorrow. Go out and give voice to those who cannot speak for themselves.
Our culture has become one of violence violence toward women, toward children, and toward innocent preborn babies. This disregard for human life and the well-being of others is disturbing, and a trend we must right before our society falls deeper into the chasm of self-destruction.
Those who kill preborn babies may have no shame, but we who fight to give voice to these innocent children certainly do. We watch in horror as minute after minute, day after day, and week after week, babies are killed and discarded. The trail of blood is sickening and it’s a trail that we must work unceasingly to stop.
Families are precious; they are to be cherished and valued. Yet society tells us that it’s okay to divorce, to enter into same-sex unions, and to discard babies like trash. This sickening trend has to stop, or the consequences will be dire.
Cardinals and other clergy must lead by example, for when they do not, confusion reigns. If we do not see Church leaders standing up for Church doctrine, how can we have the strength to do so? Instead of a good example, these men only become fodder for those who either choose not to do as the Church teaches or who are ignorant about the teachings.
We must watch where we focus our energies. We must always be the voice of the preborn. And we can never allow compromise.
