Living the Culture of Life is to remember and promote a very simple, and at the same time complex, truth: “Our origin and our destiny is God, our Father, who loves each of us with an infinitely tender and merciful love. The mystery of human life is that we – every one of us – are precious to God even as we are weak and sinful.” (USCCB) The cultural values of today lead people to make choices to maximize gratification and pleasure while limiting or even avoiding completely any pain or inconvenience. Many times this choice ends in someone else’s pain or inconvenience being even greater. On the minor end of the spectrum is the anonymous fellow driver on the road who we cut off or who cuts us off, and on the critical end, the mortal end, one might say, is euthanasia, abortion, human trafficking and slavery. And these are only examples.
So, now you’ve taken a moment to read this and you are thinking, “I’m just one person. I can’t stop other people from doing _____.” And this little note is here to say, “Yes, you can.”
What can I do?
St. Michael’s Church is a Church that supports the Culture of Life. We do that by supporting a variety of organizations, groups, prayer campaigns and the Respect Life Committee. The Respect Life Committee continues to look for ways to inform parishioners about opportunities to support LIFE.
You, who are the sons and daughters of the King of Life, are meant to stand against the culture of death. You can do this by one or more of the following ways:
Prayer, the first and best defense we have!
