Life is Good!!

Blessed Mother Teresa said, “Any country that accepts abortion is the poorest of the poor.”

Here in the U.S., so many more people suffer from Spiritual poverty than Material poverty.  Consider the mother who enters an abortion mill ignoring her heart’s knowledge of the child in her womb who will die as a result of the procedure about to be performed. Consider the isolation in her soul, even if the father of her child is with her. Consider the crushing poverty they suffer in their hearts with No Faith, No Hope, and No Love (Charity). Consider the hopelessness that doesn’t let the light of the Gospel shine in them.

Our commission, as Catholic Christians, is to be that light for those who cannot find their way. We must shine for the poor souls who can see no other way except to kill their own baby.  For them, we must speak of the sacred beauty of all life and defend it in the “public square.”  We must pray for those who consider or have decided to end the life of their unborn child. Pray that you may be the light in the life of someone who is lost and hopeless. Act to build the Culture of Life by praying, fasting and showing a merciful attitude toward all.

 “I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live, loving the Lord your God”. Deut. 30:19b
